    If you look at the ingredients label, it’s salt. They add salt to the water.

    Like am I crazy or is that literally doing the opposite of hydrating you

      Not exactly. Salt is an electrolyte and necessary to move things around in your body. Small amounts in water aren’t going to dehydrate you, but over a certain percentage it’s definitely going to be pulling water from your body.

      Ehh, depends on the concentration of salt and if you’ve been sweating a whole lot… and I mean working outside in the heat sweating, not a 30-minute cardio. But unless you have low (or lose) sodium and/or chloride, than it will probably dehydrate you
