Electrolytes are essential for hydration, especially after intense workouts or during hot weather. But is it possible to overdo it?
In Belgium, electrolyte supplements are regulated under the EU’s General Food Law (Regulation (EC) No 178/2002), ensuring they are safe and properly labeled. The Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain (FASFC) enforces these rules, so you can trust that the products you use meet strict safety standards.
What You Need to Know:
- Balance is Key: While electrolytes are crucial for hydration, excessive intake can lead to imbalances. Always follow recommended dosages.
- Check the Label: Look for clear information on ingredients and serving sizes to avoid overconsumption.
- Natural Alternatives: In many cases, a balanced diet and water are sufficient to maintain electrolyte levels.
By following these guidelines and choosing regulated products, you can enjoy the benefits of electrolytes without the risks.
