Today I want to cover what electrolytes do, with a special focus on five specific electrolytes. 

1. Sodium:
• Hydrates 
• Is involved in oxygen transport 
• Works with potassium to generate electrical potential (the sodium-potassium pump) 
• Decreased sodium can lead to weakness, tiredness, and low endurance 

2. Potassium:
• Supports the nerve and muscle interaction 
• Works with sodium to generate electrical potential (the sodium-potassium pump) 
• Decreased potassium can lead to weakness and tiredness

3. Magnesium:
• Controls the absorption of sodium and potassium 
• Is associated with oxygen 
• Supports the relaxation of the muscle 
• May help prevent muscle cramps 
• May be necessary for workouts (especially long or intense workouts)
• Decreased magnesium may lead to muscle cramps and low endurance  

4. Calcium:
• Supports muscle contraction 
• Supports neuromuscular excitability 
• Decreased calcium can lead to tetany, muscle cramps, and skeletal muscle weakness 

5. Chloride: 
• Supports hydration
