Impact of Nuun Electrolyte Tablets on Hydration Status in Active Men and Women

Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Hydration

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of Nuun electrolyte tablets on hydration status in young and active men and women. We will follow a similar approach as used by Maughan and colleagues (2016) to measure the beverage hydration index (the relative amount of urine passed after consumption of a drink compared to water). It is hypothesized that Nuun electrolyte tablets will result in a greater hydration status as compared to water only. Due to the fact that athletes use Nuun tablets at varying dosages, we will evaluate Nuun at both a single dosage and a double dosage. We maintain a non-directional hypothesis regarding the potential differences between the two different dosages tested.
