NASA scientists conducted extensive testing to develop the patented formulation. The formula has been used by the astronauts during missions for nearly 20 years and has been tested in controlled clinical environments on Earth.
Astronauts continue to use the patented formula on space missions to prevent the symptoms of dehydration.

It works so well for the astronauts ... you can imagine how well it will work for athletes here on Earth!
