Sweat Science: What You're Really Losing
Most athletes replace fluids and electrolytes — but research shows sweat also depletes specific High-Demand Amino Acids critical to energy, recovery and performance. Learn why BCAA's are not enough. Here's what the science says.
Running: There is more to Muscle Recovery
Journalist and long-time ElectrAAte user Rebecca Connolly set out to report honestly — whether it worked or not. Six years later, her independent piece in The Coalface explores what 30 years of amino acid research by Professors Hugh Dunstan and Tim Roberts actually means for recovery, energy, collagen, and healthy ageing.
Science can help Otpimise Performance
Discover the science behind sweat and what your body really loses during exercise. This guide covers sweat formation, electrolyte replenishment (sodium, chloride), and the role of High-Demand Amino Acids (HDAA) in fuelling performance and accelerating recovery — giving you the tools to train smarter and age better.
Endurance Nutrition: Complete Your Stack with HDAA
Hydration, electrolytes and energy support are essential, but endurance athletes can still overlook High-Demand Amino Acids (HDAA). Discover how ElectrAAte and OptimAAte help complete your nutritional support stack to support performance and recovery between races, matches and long sessions in the heat.
