Lewis MattinGUEST
In terms of, like, if we're talking about it as, like, a research study, we usually go to around 2%, and that's kind of a limit to really understand how the body would then rehydrate again.

Lewis MattinGUEST
But if we're talking, like, actually in the real world, if you're going out to have a run on a hot day or something, then you can probably sweat up to, you know, nearly 4%, if, for example, you're out, you know, running a marathon in the heat.

Is it actually making a meaningful difference for us for the amount of exercise we did?

Lewis MattinGUEST
There's probably not really much of a benefit in terms of just coming in, doing a bit of exercise.

Lewis MattinGUEST
But if we're taking that out of everyday person, just taking an electrolyte to somebody actually athletically performing... then that's the complete opposite we know that the effect that electrolyte has for someone who maybe is running for 90 minutes or playing in a professional football game there can be a massive uplift in not just maybe performance but even some things that you start to feel maybe even the cognitive side of actually being able to focus on what they're doing towards the end of that race or the end of that that game they're playing so
