When to take
HydraION REHYDR8 may be taken on the first signs of fluid loss due to vomiting and diarrhoea.
HydraION REHYDR8 may also be taken to help manage dehydration due to the loss of fluids through heavy sweating. This can be caused by a hot or dry environment, fever or strenuous exercise.
HydraION REHYDR8 helps to restore fluid lost as a result of the diuretic effect of alcohol, and is best taken before you go to bed.
