Max Hydration
When water alone isn't cutting it. Deep, lasting hydration that stays with you so you feel right again.
A full liter of fluids with magnesium and zinc added. Book it after a long day in the Alabama heat, a hard workout, a trip, or a few rough days of being sick, when drinking more just isn't catching you up.
Four glasses of water, straight into your blood. Plus the minerals you're missing.
Rehydrating when you're dehydrated is slow, because your stomach limits how fast water can get absorbed.
A liter of lactated ringers skips the line and rehydrates you immediately.
Then magnesium helps your cells hold on to that water instead of letting it just pass through, and zinc puts back what sweat and stomach bugs took with them.
What each ingredient does for you.
The fluid is the point of this drip, so it comes first. The two minerals are there to help it go further than the base alone.
Plain saline is salt and water. Lactated ringers carries sodium, potassium, calcium and chloride in close to the balance your blood already has, plus lactate, which your body turns into bicarbonate to help keep your blood's acidity steady. A full liter is roughly four glasses of water, and it goes in without waiting on your stomach.
You lose magnesium every time you sweat, and lactated ringers doesn't carry any. Your cells use magnesium to run the pump that balances sodium and potassium, which is part of how they hold on to the water you're giving them. It also supports normal muscle and nerve function, so it's the ingredient people tend to notice as a loosened feeling in tight muscles.
Heavy sweating and stomach bugs both pull zinc out of your body. Zinc supports the normal lining of your gut, which is where the water you drink after you leave gets absorbed, and it supports normal immune function, which matters when being sick is the reason you're dried out in the first place.
