The solution is supposed to be super hydrating as the Celtic sea salt contains trace amounts of elements and minerals that aid in the bodies hydration. The recommended amount of this solution to drinking daily is one half your body weight number in ounces. For example a person weighing 100 lbs. should be drinking 50 oz of water daily.
