For daily hydration outside of intense exercise, it is preferable to avoid beverages that are too high in sodium (such as 1000 mg) in order to prevent water retention, and to prioritize more moderate or sugar-free alternatives that use amino acids to facilitate water absorption.

The principle of sodium-glucose co-transport to maximize hydration is physiologically indisputable and widely validated by the WHO's work on rehydration solutions (scientific consensus). Regarding the effects of excess daily salt, the DASH-Sodium randomized clinical trial (RCT), published in the New England Journal of Medicine, confirms that a high intake of sodium not compensated by sweat leads to water retention and a feeling of bloating. As for the sugar-free alternative, the use of amino acids to stimulate water absorption rests on a solid foundation. Clinical studies (RCTs) published in gastroenterology journals demonstrate that certain amino acids utilize specific intestinal transporters to efficiently shuttle water and sodium into the body, even without glucose. Finally, while allulose is an excellent low-calorie sugar substitute for taste, it has no proven active role in accelerating hydration. The adjustment of electrolytes according to exertion as proposed by the creator is therefore scientifically very consistent for optimizing well-being.
