Tiny study tests if trace minerals beat plain water for rehydration

NCT ID NCT06858904

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This completed study from Arizona State University looked at whether a drink with trace minerals (ConcenTrace or ZeroLyte) helps people rehydrate better after exercise compared to plain water. Fifteen physically active adults were tested. The goal was to see how well the body retains water and how skin hydration changes.
