Sweat also contains electrolytes and the one most prevalent in sweat and most impactful to stay on top of is sodium. Sodium is a critical electrolyte for maintaining hydration, keeping muscles firing, and supporting brain function and blood volume. Here’s the catch: everyone’s sodium loss is different. Some people lose as little as 200 mg\/L, while others lose up to 2000 mg\/L. By testing your sodium loss, you’ll get the insights you need to fine-tune your hydration and stay at the top of your game.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhy Get Your Sweat Tested?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnderstanding your sodium loss means you can tailor a hydration strategy that works for you.
