On a keto or carnivore diet, insulin levels drop significantly. As a result, the kidneys excrete more sodium and water, which can quickly lead to an electrolyte imbalance.

Electrolyte powder is especially important in this context because it helps:

• to prevent symptoms of the keto flu (headache, weakness, brain fog)
• to stabilize fluid balance
• to prevent muscle cramps
• to maintain performance and focus
• to prevent circulatory problems

Especially on a carnivore diet without plant-based sources of minerals, a high-quality, sugar-free electrolyte powder is a simple and effective solution to optimally supply your body.

Electrolyte powder is used to quickly and effectively supply the body with important minerals such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride. These electrolytes are essential for:

• fluid balance
• muscle function
• nerve transmission
• stable blood pressure
• physical and mental performance

Electrolyte powder is especially useful when fluid loss is increased, e.g. due to exercise, heat, sweating, fasting, low-carb or carnivore diets. Unlike water alone, electrolytes help actually deliver fluid into the cells.

Electrolyte powder should always be taken when the need is increased or a deficiency may arise. Typical situations include:

• During sports or physical work
• In cases of heavy sweating or heat
• During fasting periods
• On a low-carb, keto, or carnivore diet
• After sauna or ice bathing
• When experiencing fatigue, lack of concentration, or muscle cramps
• In the morning after getting up (especially on an empty stomach)
  

Electrolyte powder is especially important on a low-carb diet, as the kidneys excrete more sodium.

An electrolyte deficiency can manifest itself through many non-specific symptoms. Common signs include:

• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Fatigue or brain fog
• Muscle cramps or muscle weakness
• Heart palpitations
• Low blood pressure
• Irritability
• Reduced athletic performance
• Increased thirst despite drinking plenty
  

If these symptoms occur, a high-quality electrolyte powder without sugar can help restore balance quickly.

Yes, electrolyte powder is very useful for diarrhea.

Diarrhea causes the body to lose large amounts of water and electrolytes, especially sodium and potassium. Water alone is not sufficient in this case.

Electrolyte powder helps to:

• compensate for fluid loss
• prevent dehydration
• reduce circulatory problems
• support regeneration
  

It is important to choose an electrolyte powder that is sugar-free or low in sugar, as sugar can otherwise worsen diarrhea.
