5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine and compare the rehydration effect of Essentia Water, an electrolyzed high-pH bottled water, with industry-standard bottled water purified by reverse osmosis with minerals added, on (1) whole blood viscosity, (2) plasma osmolality, (3) bioelectrical impedance analysis, and (4) body mass change, using serial measurements in apparently healthy adults following exercise-induced dehydration in a controlled environment.
