Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Nuun Electrolyte TabletExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The goal is to give a one-time dose of Nuun (600mg Na+) at the start of the trial, diluted in 1L water to be consumed within 30 min (similar to prior published data, Pence 2020).
Group II: Buoy Electrolyte DropsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The goal is to give 600mg of Na+ over 4 hours while measuring urine output over 6 hours. The recommended Buoy dosage is ⅓ tsp in 237 ml of water (50mg Na+) multiple times a day (Table 1). Therefore, to safely achieve a total dose 600mg Na+ (6-fold increase from single dose) we will use 4 tsps (18 ml) of Buoy diluted in 1 L of water.
Group III: WaterPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Participants will ingest the same quantity of water (1 L) at a rate of 6.25% of the calculated amount of water every 15 min for 4 hours.
