What is Aqualyte Solution?

Aqualyte is a crystallised powder that when mixed with water makes a scientifically formulated fluid and electrolyte solution for workers and athletes where the replacement of fluid loss through sweating is critical for effective performance.

Aqualyte has been formulated and based on extensive published scientific research into the prevention of heat illness and dehydration as well as hydration, fatigue and their relationship to performance and productivity.

Why is Aqualyte Solution different to other sports or fluid replacement drinks?

Absorption rate.

The vast majority of available sports drinks and cordials are often referred to as ISOTONIC beverages. The osmolality of blood and body fluids is approximately 290 mosmol/L and most sport replacement drinks are of similar value or higher. This results in the beverage slowly emptying from the gut, often causing a feeling of fullness or bloating and slowing absorption into the body.

Aqualyte is a HYPOTONIC solution with an osmolality of 150 mosmol/L. Studies have shown that HYPOTONIC drinks are more effective than isotonic drinks or plain water which means Aqualyte will move from the gut into the blood supply over 50% faster.

How is Aqualyte Prepared and Consumed?

• Aqualyte is provided in crystal form in a 80 gram sachet for mixing with water. The correct amount of water required for each size sachet is 2000 ml (i.e. mix 80 gram sachet with 2 L of water).
• Pour crystals into water and stir or shake until the crystals have dissolved. Drink chilled.
• When made up Aqualyte can be kept for 2 weeks in a refrigerator.
• Consume Aqualyte throughout working shifts and sports activity in proportion to sweat loss.
