Hydration (Total Body Water)

    Last Updated: October 13, 2024

    Hydration is an approximately measurement of reserves of water on the human body, and a severe reduction in hydration from either no water intake or diuretic usage is known as dehydration. Some supplements are either diuretic or may promote water retention.
