Trial summary

The "beverage hydration index" (BHI) assesses the hydration potential of any consumable fluid relative to water. The BHI is a relatively new metric. Our purpose was to assess the BHI of beverages never previously tested, including an amino acid-based oral rehydration solution (AA-ORS), a glucose-containing ORS (G-ORS)… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Beverage Hydration Index of Three Commercial Oral Rehydration Therapy ORT Beverages

The "beverage hydration index" (BHI) assesses the hydration potential of any consumable fluid relative to water. The BHI is a relatively new metric. Our purpose was to assess the BHI of beverages never previously tested, including an amino acid-based oral rehydration solution (AA-ORS), a glucose-containing ORS (G-ORS) and a sports drink (SD) compared to water (control).

Read the detailed description

The "Beverage Hydration Index" (BHI) was created to assess the degree to which beverages "hydrate", by measuring fluid retention after ingesting a 1 liter bolus and comparing it to water. Drinks with carbohydrates and electrolytes would traditionally be expected to score higher on the BHI due to glucose-sodium cotransport at the gut and osmolality approaching isotonicity with blood. One recent study reported that an oral rehydration solution (ORS) scored better than water, but a "sports drink" did not. No "optimal" BHI beverage composition has been described, nor has an optimal osmolality. Recently, a hypotonic amino acid-based rehydration beverage was developed to take advantage of amino acid-sodium cotransport, thus obviating the need for carbohydrate. However, the BHI of this beverage has not yet been assessed. The purpose of this investigation was to assess the hydration potential of this novel beverage in comparison to a commercially available carbohydrate-containing sports drink and oral rehydration solution.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing enterade, Pedialyte and Gatorade in people with Healthy, run by Sonoma State University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Beverage hydration index (time frame: 4 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03262597, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Mar 2018.
