Isotonic drink and osmolality

There are three different types of sports drinks. These are the isotonic, hypotonic and hypertonic drinks. The first two in particular are well known in the sports world. The difference between these three drinks has to do with the ratio of water, vitamins, carbohydrates and salts. An isotonic sports drink contains approximately the same concentration of particles as body water contains. This density is also called the osmolality. Drinks with a low osmolality are absorbed faster than drinks with a high osmolality. The isotonic sports drinks are exactly in between. As a result, the drink is easily absorbed by the body on the one hand, and on the other, your body gets enough nutrients from it, more than with a hypotonic sports drink, for example. This makes for an ideal combination for (endurance) athletes.

An isotonic sports drink and you can go again!

The isotonic drinks are able to balance minerals and nutrients faster during an intensive training or maybe even a competition. Fast sugars and the right amount of minerals and moisture ensure the energetic effect of the isotonic sports drinks. Unlike hypertonic drinks, such as fruit juices, soft drinks and energy drinks, isotonic liquids are absorbed faster so you can get back to work!
