Sodium gets the spotlight, but potassium and magnesium are just as crucial. Potassium is vital for muscle contractions and heart function, while magnesium supports over 300 enzyme reactions in the body— including energy production and muscle recovery.
The Science
Potassium is the major intracellular cation and works with sodium to maintain the electrochemical gradient across cell membranes. Magnesium deficiency has been linked to fatigue, cramping, and poor recovery, especially in high-stress and physically active individuals (Volpe, 2015).
Why Lyte?
Each Lyte sachet contains 200mg potassium and 60mg magnesium malate, supporting total-body hydration and recovery.
