Otsuka Pharmaceutical POCARI SWEAT Powder (Japanese Sports Drink)
Product introduction
This is a drink with ingredients that are closer to human body fluids than water.
You can smoothly replenish water and ions. (A healthy drink that smoothly replenishes water and ions (electrolytes) lost due to sweating.)
It is recommended to drink during sports or after taking a bath. (Because it is an electrolyte solution with an appropriate concentration and composition close to that of body fluids, it is quickly absorbed. Therefore, it is the most suitable beverage for those who are sweating, such as sports, work, bathing, and waking up.)
FAQ
Q. What is ion? What is an electrolyte?
A. Ion is a state in which a substance (electrolyte) that conducts electricity when dissolved in water dissolves in water and is positively or negatively charged.
It contains ions such as sodium ion, chlor ion, calcium ion, potassium ion and magnesium ion.
When salt (sodium chloride: electrolyte) is dissolved in water, it is divided into positively charged sodium ions and negatively charged chlor ions.
When a substance becomes an ion, it can easily pass through the cell membranes of our body and is easily absorbed by the body.
Q. Why are ion drinks good for you when you sweat?
A. Since it is an ion drink that is close to the water (body fluid) in the body, it can smoothly replenish the water and ions lost due to sweating, etc., and quickly moisturizes our body.
People sweat to regulate their body temperature when it's hot. In order for it to work properly, it is important that the amount of body fluid is sufficient and that the balance between water and ions, that is, the concentration of body fluid is constant.
When you sweat, you lose ions, mainly sodium and crawl (salt), along with water. If you drink only water, the balance between water and ions in the body fluid will be lost, and the body fluid will become thinner and thinner.
Q. Is it okay if I drink water for hydration?
A. If you drink only water, the balance between water and ions in the body fluid will be lost, and the body fluid will become thinner and thinner. The body then tries to stop thirst and prevent the fluid from thinning.
In addition, excess fluid is released as urine in an attempt to restore the concentration of fluid. As a result, the amount of fluid cannot be fully restored. This phenomenon is called spontaneous dehydration.
Q. Is it a measure against heat stroke even if I take it diluted?
A. We do not recommend diluting it and drinking.
If diluted, "smooth absorption of water and ions" may be impaired.
As a beverage to prevent heat stroke, it is said that a beverage with a "salt concentration of 0.1 to 0.2%" is desirable, and the Japan Sports Association's "Guidebook for Preventing Heat Stroke During Sports Activities" states that 2 liters per hour.
During exercise with heavy sweating, we recommend beverages containing "0.1-0.2% salt and 4-8% sugar".
Pocari Sweat is a beverage with this concentration of sugar and salt. Please use without diluting.
