Electrolytes are substances that can dissolve in body fluids, creating ions with positive and negative charges. These minerals are very important for the body because they help perform nerve and muscle functions, help maintain fluid balance in the body, blood pressure and blood pH.

Ions, also known as electrolytes (mainly Na, K, Cl), are essential in the human body, maintaining voltage across the membranes of nerve cells, heart cells, and muscle cells, and transmitting electrical signals between them.
