Electrolyte Powder Ingredients: What Matters Most?

Electrolyte powders typically contain sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium, and sometimes calcium, plus supporting ingredients like citric acid, flavoring, and sweeteners. The most important ingredients for real-world hydration are usually sodium + chloride (fluid retention), potassium (cellular balance), and magnesium (muscle/nerve function). “Best” depends on sweat loss, diet, and tolerance, not hype.
