Highly trained female cyclists who used the oral contraceptive pill performed better on high-sodium beverages than on low-sodium beverages during the high hormone phase of their cycle, one study suggests. The high-sodium beverages helped them exercise longer by increasing plasma volume, and decreasing thermal strain in the warm experimental conditions. High sodium beverage recommendation: Gatorade Endurance Formula. The pill is also said to have a positive effect on bone mineral density, though research is still unclear.
