Ingredients for better rehydration

• Glucose – Activates the sodium glucose pump in the small intestine for fast rehydration

What is dehydration?

• Mild to moderate dehydration is defined as the loss of 2-6% of your body weight through fluids.

• 75% of people are dehydrated everyday from losing water and electrolytes through sweat, saliva, urine and other bodily functions. Water doesn’t contain electrolytes which is why dehydration is so common.

Causes of dehydration

• With the weight loss medication you are on, you may be experience dehydration due to diarrhea or vomiting (possible side effects of the medications).

• Other common causes of dehydration include exercise, travel, drinking alcohol, excessive heat and fever.

  • Exercise tip – take 2 to 3 sips of Hydralyte’s electrolyte solution while performing sustained moderate to vigorous physical activity to help prevent potential dehydration

Signs of dehydration

• Increased thirst

• Dizziness

• Fatigue

• Headache – One of the common symptoms of moderate dehydration is a headache. If you are experiencing a headache, consider whether dehydration could be the cause.

  • If you are experiencing dehydration use a clinical rehydration formula (such as Hydralyte) which will restore the body’s fluid and electrolyte levels and relieve any dehydration present.

• Dry mouth

• Morning fog

• Dark urine
