Our body fluids, such as tears and sweat, have a salty composition, indicating the presence of ions.
Can Pocari Sweat replace oral rehydration solutions (ORS) during diarrhoea?
While Pocari Sweat helps replenish electrolytes and hydrate faster than water, ORS is specifically designed for effective rehydration during diarrhoea. For best results, follow WHO guidelines and use ORS as recommended for managing diarrhoea.
Is POCARI SWEAT a substitute for oral rehydration solution (ORS) during diarrhoea?
Electrolytes which are a critical factor in the timely absorption to the body, rehydrate you faster than plain water. But, for a better rehydration process, once ORS is available, ORS consumption is recommended for diarrhoea management as per WHO recommendation guidelines.

ION Questions

What is an isotonic drink?
An isotonic drink has a salt and sugar concentration similar to our body fluids. This balance allows the drink to be absorbed quickly and effectively, matching the fluid pressure of our body for rapid hydration.
When should we drink isotonic drinks?
Isotonic drinks should be consumed whenever you lose body fluids due to physical activities, exercise, or any daily activities that cause sweating.
What is an ion, and how does it differ from an electrolyte?

An ion is a component of electrolytes, which are mineral salts found naturally in the body. Electrolytes break down into positive and negative ions, essential for various bodily functions. Since the body cannot produce these electrolytes, they must be replenished through food and drink.

How do we know our bodies contain electrolytes?

The presence of electrolytes in our body fluids is evidenced by their salty taste, as seen in tears and sweat.
