It is also found in the fluid outside of the body’s cells, which helps to regulate the amount of water in the body.Potassium: This electrolyte is found mainly inside the body’s cells. A small but vital level of potassium is found in the plasma, the liquid portion of the blood. Potassium plays a very important role in regulating muscle contraction. It helps in monitoring the potassium levels, which is important as small changes in the potassium level can affect the heart’s rhythm and ability to contract.Chloride: This electrolyte moves in and out of the cells to help and maintain electrical neutrality (concentrations of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions must be equal) and its level usually mirrors that of the sodium. Due to its close association with sodium, chloride also helps to regulate the distribution of water balance in the body.
