What are the 3 things found in sweat?
The following confirm my expectations (as a guy who has done a lot of sweating). http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/12970 Sweat normally contains water, and very small amounts of salt, urea, sugar and ammonia. http://www.ultracycling.com/nutrition/electrolytes.html The major route for sodium loss is sweat. Because potassium is held inside the cells, it is not lost at high rates provided there is adequate sodium in the body. Normal (for cyclists) sweat rates can range from 0.75 to 2 Liters/hour, depending on conditions such as temperature, humidity, pace, clothing, and the degree of heat acclimation the rider has. A rate of one Liter/hour is not uncommon for an acclimated cyclist. At that rate, typical electrolyte loss rates by sweat are 1,300 mg/hr for sodium, and 230 mg/hr for potassium.

Sweat is water. But it is not all water. It contains urea and sometimes lactates.

Can we drink Electral powder during a workout?
During a workout, our body loses water and essential salts through sweat, and if not replaced, this can result in dehydration. As water does not contain electrolytes, your body needs something that can replenish the lost salts and minerals. This is where Electral plays a role in providing what your body has lost during the workout.
