🧬 HYPOTONIC VS ISOTONIC DRINKS 💦
Hypotonic drinks
Best for: Rapid rehydration
When to use: Pre-hydration, on hard workouts, on the golf course, on long rides, in hot weather; when you need a drink to rehydrate quickly and effectively.
What does hypotonic mean?
Hypotonic means it has a lower concentration of solutes than another solution. For example, hypotonic drinks have a lower concentration of carbohydrates (<5%) and salt than blood. This means they are absorbed into the bloodstream at a faster rate for quick hydration and electrolyte release.
