Its a non electrolyte.
Aldosterone is excreted from the adrenal gland to control water and electrolyte balance in the body. Aldosterone is a considered a steroid hormone which is produced by the outer section of the adrenal cortex of the adrenal gland.
The hormone aldosterone helps maintain salt balance which is an ingredient in electrolyte. It does this by telling the kidneys to retain salt which then also then retains more water in the body.
An ionic compound dissociated in water is an electrolyte and is of course more conductive..
Adults should drink water or an electrolyte solution such as Gatorade or Powerade. The important thing is to balance sugar, water, and electrolytes to avoid illness.
