Why minor electrolyte shifts matter

Feeling off? Even small electrolyte imbalances can lead to symptoms.

Electrolytes regulate nerve conduction, muscle contraction, and hydration.

Check the body’s essential balance

Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium are vital for hydration, muscle contraction, and nerve signals. Levels too high or too low can lead to irritability, fatigue, headaches, irregular heart rhythm, muscle cramps, nausea, and numbness or tingling in your extremities. Though electrolytes can get off balance from simply drinking too much or not enough water, sometimes an imbalance is a sign of health issues like liver disease, kidney disease, alcohol use disorders, parathyroid conditions, eating disorders, or gastrointestinal issues.

Get ahead of serious complications

Once you know your levels, you can work with a trusted healthcare provider to potentially adjust diet, fluids, and medications or dig into potential root causes.
