What changes from one life stage to the next

  • Smaller bodies, smaller doses

    Kids and teens don't need an adult-sized sodium load, so formats and serving sizes built for them make more sense than a scaled-down adult product.

  • Thirst gets less reliable with age

    Many older adults feel thirsty later than their body actually needs fluid, so a regular habit matters more than waiting to feel it.

  • Breastfeeding raises fluid turnover

    Milk production draws on fluid and minerals day after day, which is why some mums notice they need to top up more deliberately than before.

  • Not sure which stage fits?

    If more than one applies, say, breastfeeding a toddler, start with whichever page matches the person actually drinking it.

Life stages, answered

Do kids, seniors and breastfeeding mums need different electrolytes?

Their bodies handle fluid and sodium differently, so yes — a formula, dose or format built for one life stage isn't automatically the right fit for another. That's why LYTES has a separate page for each.

Which life-stage page should I start with if more than one applies to me?

Start with whichever page matches the person actually drinking it. If you're breastfeeding a toddler, for example, the Breastfeeding page is the better starting point over Kids & Teens.

Should I check with a health professional before choosing electrolytes for a specific life stage?

If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, managing a medical condition, or choosing for a young child, it's worth checking the label and speaking with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for your situation. This page is general information, not medical advice.
