Isotonic drinks are designed to have a similar osmotic pressure to bodily fluids, making them ideal for rehydration during exercise. As sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium are lost during sweating, these key electrolytes are typically included in isotonic drinks.

Electrolytes are essential for maintaining proper muscle and nerve function. During intense physical activity, their levels in the body can decrease due to sweating. Including electrolytes in isotonic drinks like POCARI SWEAT may help prevent muscle weakness and cramping.
Developed by Otsuka Pharmaceutical in Japan, POCARI SWEAT is formulated to replenish lost fluid and electrolytes to keep you hydrated π¦ during sports.
