During illnesses that cause fever, vomiting, or diarrhoea, the body can lose significant amounts of fluids and electrolytes leading to dehydration.
Clean, Mild Taste
Many Oral Rehydration Solutions have a strong, medicinal flavour making then difficult to drink. Aqualyte is mild in flavour and gentle on the stomach with no lingering after-taste. This encourages regular drinking, supporting better hydration and electrolyte balance. The use of all natural ingredients contributes to the flavour profile making Aqualyte a great tasting, effective hydration option.
Aqualyte’s hypotonic formulation is designed for the rapid absorption of fluids and electrolytes. Although it contains fewer electrolytes than intense tasting isotonic or hypertonic solutions, its drinkability and fast uptake help promote higher overall fluid intake - supporting hydration, electrolyte replacement and recovery.
Aqualyte is low in sugar but importantly it contains some as this makes it more effective than products without. Natural carbohydrates help improve taste, so you drink more, they activate the sodium glucose co-transport system to speed up fluid and electrolyte absorption, and they provide nutritional support when people are unwell which aids recovery.
Support for Sensitive Individuals
The mild natural flavour profile of Aqualyte makes it a preferred option for those with sensitive taste buds or digestive systems, including children, pregnant women, and individuals undergoing chemotherapy. It’s easy to drink which encourages people to drink more, helping replace enough fluid and electrolytes to support their hydration and health needs.
Hydration in the elderly is often compromised by a number of factors including reduced thirst reflex, reduced kidney function and the diuretic affects of many medications. Dehydration and electrolyte balance is a major cause of reduced blood pressure which can increases the risk of fainting and falls. A daily glass of Aqualyte offers a simple way to support improved hydration and electrolyte replacement.
With its hypotonic profile, Aqualyte is suitable for children and adults alike. Highly concentrated electrolyte solutions increase the risk of individuals exceeding the recommended daily intake of some electrolytes, vitamins and minerals. Aqualyte is designed to provide hydration support with a balanced approach to sodium and potassium intake particularly when regular diet is compromised.
