Isotonic
When we run, and run for a long time, salts and minerals are washed out of our body. Isotonic is a drink that was invented in order to make up for these losses. By adding a carbohydrate component to the isotonic drink, we get the perfect sports drink to maintain strength and recover after jogging.
