Restores what sweat takes!

When taking a sauna, the temperature in the steam room often rises to 70–90 degrees Celsius, and the body reacts quickly: sweating increases, and up to 0.8–1.2 liters of fluid can be lost per hour. However, sweat is not just water. Every liter of sweat lost takes with it electrolytes vital to the body—on average about 700 milligrams of sodium and chloride, 200 milligrams of potassium, and a small but significant amount of magnesium. Of these electrolytes, sodium is clearly lost the most. After about half an hour of sweating, the body often starts to "remind" you of this deficiency. During this time, 350–400 milligrams of sodium can be lost, an amount already significant enough to be felt in one's well-being.
Sodium plays a crucial role in fluid balance. It regulates the absorption and transport of water into the bloodstream. Without sufficient sodium, simply drinking water is not enough, as the fluid will not be retained by the body but will quickly be expelled with urine. This leads to a familiar feeling – you drink, but your thirst is not quenched. When sodium levels drop too low, you quickly begin to feel unwell. This can manifest as headaches, weakness, fatigue, muscle flaccidity, or even heart palpitations. The sauna relaxes the mind, but the body needs the right building blocks to recover. When electrolyte balance is in order, the good feeling doesn't end with the sauna session – it continues long after.
