Potassium: The Heart of Your Electrolyte Balance

When you sweat during exercise, you not only lose fluids, you also lose essential minerals that your body needs to function optimally. One of the most important, but often overlooked, is potassium . At LYTE , we understand how crucial potassium is for muscle function, fluid balance and heart rhythm - which is why it is a regular part of our electrolyte drink.

What is potassium and why is it important?

Potassium is an electrolyte and mineral found inside the body's cells. It works closely with sodium to maintain the proper pressure inside and outside the cells and keep the body functioning properly.

1. Balances fluid and electrolytes

Potassium regulates fluid levels in cells and keeps electrolyte balance in check. It helps prevent both dehydration and fluid retention.

2. Strengthens muscles

Potassium is essential for the ability of muscles to contract and relax. Without enough potassium, you may experience fatigue, weakness, and an increased risk of muscle cramps.

3. Keeps the heart in rhythm

Potassium plays a direct role in regulating the heart's electrical signals. Adequate levels are necessary to maintain a stable and healthy heart rhythm – especially during physical stress.

That's why we added potassium to LYTE

At LYTE, we’ve crafted our electrolyte formula with a focus on functionality and balance. Potassium isn’t just a bonus mineral – it’s a key player in our formulation because it:

• Supports muscles and prevents cramps

• Strengthens fluid balance and counteracts fatigue

• Contributes to heart and nerve function – even under high stress

When do you need potassium the most?

• During and after sweaty exercise , where you lose electrolytes

• At high temperatures , where fluid loss is more intense

• If you follow a diet low in potassium , e.g. low intake of vegetables and fruit

• When you want to recover faster and avoid muscle tension
