Clinical study results

Hydration
that holds.

Even after water starts to fade.

3 times as many people were well hydrated after drinking Cure.†

We know the science behind our formula. We wanted to know what actually happens when you drink it. So we put Cure to the test to see how long hydration could last.

  • Double-blind
  • Placebo-controlled
  • Independent CRO (Reputable Health)
  • Healthy, regularly exercising adults

Water taps out. Cure doesn’t.

We compared how well Cure and plain water kept people hydrated after exercise. For the first 90 minutes, the results were similar. After that, Cure pulled ahead.1

Between 120 and 180 minutes, Cure maintained significantly better hydration than water.

  • Cure keeps holding.
  • Water begins drifting back toward baseline.
Simplified view of mean urine specific gravity (USG) over time after exercise and drinking. Axis is flipped so that higher on the chart means better hydrated (lower USG). Values between the seven measured timepoints are smoothed. See the study summary for full data.

Better hydration, for longer.

120–180min

From 120 to 180 minutes after drinking, Cure maintained significantly lower urine specific gravity (USG)—a sign of better hydration—than placebo.

3×

as many people were well hydrated after drinking Cure vs. water alone.

More than half stayed hydrated with Cure. With water alone, only about 1 in 6 did.

Sodium in. Dehydration out.

+16%

vs. −8% with placebo

Cure delivers real electrolytes your body can actually use, not just flavor.

Urinary sodium rose +16% with Cure vs. −8% with placebo (p=0.002), the clearest statistically significant marker.

We didn’t invent hydration science.

We just made it taste better.

The science

Cure is built on Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) science, an established approach to hydration that combines electrolytes and glucose to help the body absorb water. It's the same science behind the World Health Organization's rehydration formula.

Established hydration science

SodiumGlucosePotassium

Helps your body absorb and hold onto fluid.

  1. 01

    Sodium and glucose work together to help your body absorb water through the gut wall.

  2. 02

    Water follows them into your bloodstream as they're absorbed. 

  3. 03

    Your body holds onto water with the help of potassium, keeping you hydrated.

Cure is built on ORS, established hydration science developed by the World Health Organization. It is not a finding of this trial.

What this study measured

After drinking Cure and water, we measured how much sodium showed up in urine.

+16%

urinary sodium went up after Cure

Water

−8%

urinary sodium went down after water alone

What it meansA rise in urinary sodium is a marker of sodium delivery, and the difference was statistically significant (p = 0.002).1

Safety and tolerability

Nothing to report.
Just hydration.

No adverse events were reported, Cure was well tolerated, and participants liked the taste. We like those results, too.

  • No adverse events
  • Well tolerated
  • Well liked

Study data

  • From 120 to 180 minutes post-drink, Cure held significantly lower USG (better hydrated) than placebo at every timepoint (p<0.001).
  • Well hydrated means USG ≤1.010. 57% of Cure participants reached it in the late window vs. 17% on placebo (16/28 vs. 5/29; p=0.003).
  • Urinary sodium rose +16% with Cure vs. −8% with placebo (p=0.002).
  • No adverse events; oxidative stress negative throughout; liking scores comparable to placebo.
  • The late-window advantage held, and slightly strengthened, after adjusting for starting hydration, age, sex, and exercise intensity (n=57, all p<0.001).
