Detailed Description
Subjects sign an informed consent form and undergo a medical screening prior to participation. The screening includes a physical exam, anthropometry, chemical and lipid profiles, as well as measures of liver and renal function. The subjects are assigned to one of two groups based upon age.
Subjects participate in five experimental trials, one for each of the five beverages. The beverages are commercially-available and contain ingredients that are generally recognized as safe (GRAS). The order of the beverages is randomized. The list of ingredients on the bottle containing the beverage is obscured. The trials are identical and separated by at least five days. For each experiment, baseline measurements are conducted. Then the subjects consume one liter of the test beverage over thirty minutes. Additional measurements are performed thirty minutes post ingestion and then every hour for four hours post ingestion.
This study yields two BHI numbers for each beverage, one number for each study-group. The BHI numbers are indicative of the amount of fluid remaining in the body four hours after consumption of the beverage. The BHI number is inversely related to the amount of urine produced over the four hours. A greater BHI number indicates better fluid retention and maintenance of plasma volume.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Beverage hydration index (BHI)
Time Frame: One BHI for each beverage for each age group is calculated and reported through study completion, an average of 1 year.
|
Indicative of amount of fluid remaining in body four hours post consumption of beverage.
Inversely related to amount of urine produced over 4 hours.
Larger BHI number indicates better fluid retention and maintenance of plasma volume.
|
One BHI for each beverage for each age group is calculated and reported through study completion, an average of 1 year.
