Does BODYARMOR hydrate athletes effectively?

Not as effectively as drinks with 200–500 mg sodium per 10–20 oz. Low sodium reduces fluid retention.

Why is sodium more important than potassium for hydration?

Sodium replaces sweat losses, improves fluid retention, and supports carbohydrate transport. Potassium supports muscle contraction but is not required for hydration.

What should athletes drink for performance?

A sports drink with ~14–30 g carbohydrate and 200–500 mg sodium per 10–20 oz, adjusted for heat and sweat rate.

Can kids drink BODYARMOR casually?

Yes, casually. For practices and games, choose a drink that meets both sodium and carbohydrate standards.
