23 hydration pathways — three frameworks

Each framework scores independently. A solution can excel at absorption (gut → blood) but fail at cellular distribution (blood → cell), or retain water systemically but absorb slowly. Composite weighting: A×40% + B×35% + C×25%. Reference pathways outside supplement scope are listed separately.

Ingredient science

Mechanistic evidence for every key electrolyte and active ingredient — independent of any brand. Confidence ratings reflect current peer-reviewed literature. Caveats included where evidence is mixed or commonly overstated.

India context — heat & access

Live workplace heat risk by city, today's hydration recommendation, and product availability + regulatory status. WBGT data shown is typical seasonal value (May 2026); refresh later sessions for live API integration.

Sources & references

Every claim in this database traces back to a primary source. Below is the full inventory of peer-reviewed papers, clinical guidelines, regulatory directives, and industry data used to build the product catalog, pathway model, ingredient science cards, and India context.

0 sources shown
Methodology note. Source inventory is exhaustive of every citation embedded in the dashboard's product cards, pathway model, ingredient science cards, and India context. Where evidence is mixed or contested, source cards flag it explicitly. Identifiers (PMC/PMID) link to PubMed Central. Manufacturer spec sheets are included for transparency on product composition claims but are not weighted as independent evidence.
