Plain water is vital, but by itself it can’t restore electrolyte balance. In fact, over-hydration without electrolytes can actually dilute sodium levels (a condition called hyponatremia), which is why endurance athletes sometimes feel worse the more water they drink.


Your body thrives on balance: water + electrolytes in the right ratio. That’s the key to efficient hydration.
