Does isotonic mean a fluid containing salt and minerals?
If you meant an isotonic solution, an isotonic solution is a solution which contains the same concentration of solutes as the cell it is being compared to. This creates dynamic equilibrium, as the amount of solutes entering the cell and leaving the cell is the same.
Definition of isotonic?
An isotonic solution/drink has the same salt concentration as the normal cells in the body and the blood. An isotonic drink is quickly absorbed and replaces fluid and minerals, which the body uses during physical activity. These types of drinks provide a good balance between refueling and hydration.
