💧 Thirst Aid 💧

Did you know that every day we lose fluids and electrolytes that water alone can’t replace? That’s why HydraLyte is formulated to rehydrate you faster and more effectively than water on its own.

The secret? The LyteRH formula. It contains the precise balance of:
✔️ Water
✔️ Essential electrolytes
✔️ A dash of glucose

Yes, glucose! Not for sweetness, but because the exact glucose-to-electrolyte ratio helps your body absorb fluids quicker. Unlike sports drinks, HydraLyte uses only the optimal amount of sugar, not a gram more.

📍 Available now at your local pharmacy. Stay hydrated the smart way!

💧 What Exactly Is Dehydration? 💧

Dehydration happens when your body loses more fluids than it takes in, and it’s more common than you might think.

Mild to moderate dehydration is defined as losing 2–6% of your body weight through fluids.

😮 Did you know?
Up to 75% of people are dehydrated every day simply from losing water and electrolytes through sweat, saliva, urine, and normal body processes.
And because water alone doesn’t contain electrolytes, it often isn’t enough to fully rehydrate you.

Common Causes of Dehydration:

🏃 Exercise
Sweat = electrolyte loss. This can reduce performance and lead to muscle cramps.

✈️ Travel
Dry airplane air, hotter climates, busy days, and more alcohol can all deplete fluids.

🍷 Alcohol
Alcohol acts as a diuretic, increasing fluid loss and contributing to hangover symptoms.

🔥 Excessive Heat
Hot weather means more sweating — and more fluid and electrolyte loss.

🤒 Fever
A raised body temperature leads to increased perspiration and reduced hydration levels.

🤢 Vomiting & Diarrhoea
Stomach bugs and food poisoning can cause rapid, dangerous fluid and electrolyte loss.

💬 Stay ahead of dehydration by recognising the signs and replenishing both fluids AND electrolytes.

Talk to your local pharmacy team about effective rehydration options that work faster than water alone.

💩 Did you know your body hosts trillions of microbes, mostly inside your gut, which influence everything from digestion and immunity to mood and brain health?

Here’s how it works:
✔️ Your gut microbiome is a delicate balance between helpful and harmful bacteria. When that balance is disrupted, it can affect your whole body.

✔️ Through the gut-brain axis, your intestinal microbes communicate with your brain by producing neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine.

✔️ Targeted probiotics can help support digestion, immunity, mood, bone health and more by working with your unique gut microbiome.

Pop into our pharmacy today to explore how probiotics like Activated Probiotics might support your wellness journey, and ask our team to help you find the right one for your needs.

*Always read the label and use only as directed. Supplements are not a substitute for a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
