The main function of electrolyte solution is to improve diarrhea, vomiting and dehydration. Electrolyte solution is easily absorbed by the stomach, which can quickly replenish electrolyte and water and improve mild to moderate dehydration symptoms. But if vomiting is too severe, diarrhea is severe, or dehydration is serious, it may be necessary to hang a bottle to make up (not suitable for birds).
All minerals have certain electrolyte functions to some extent, but the most important electrolytes are sodium, potassium and chlorine, followed by minerals such as magnesium and calcium. When these electrolytes are dissolved in water, they will break down into a charged substance called ions. They are part of the internal communication network and help to convey "orders".
Among them, the most important function of sodium, potassium and chlorine is to keep the balance between water and pH in the body. They make body fluids have a certain osmotic pressure to maintain normal water content. If the electrolyte is unbalanced, water and pH will also be unbalanced, and finally all kinds of physiological and biochemical reactions that sustain life will have problems one by one. Therefore, when a large amount of water is lost (such as diarrhea and hyperhidrosis), not only water but also electrolytes should be supplemented. If you only supplement a lot of water without electrolyte, you will have symptoms such as weakness, spasm, vomiting and diarrhea.
