Pocari Sweat
Pocari Sweat is a popular Japanese sports drink manufactured by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. It is designed to quickly replenish the water and ions that your body needs, and quench your thirst. Pocari Sweat is a mild-tasting, refreshing drink that can be consumed whenever you are thirsty, after sports, or as a hydration aid during illness.
History
Pocari Sweat was first introduced in Japan in 1980 by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.. The company aimed to provide a drink that would replenish the water and electrolytes lost through perspiration. The name "Pocari Sweat" was chosen to represent a refreshing drink that replenishes the body's fluids, much like sweat.
Ingredients
The main ingredients of Pocari Sweat are water, sugar, citric acid, sodium citrate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium lactate, and magnesium carbonate. These ingredients are designed to replenish the body's water and electrolytes lost through sweat.
Uses
Pocari Sweat is often consumed during physical activity to prevent dehydration. It is also commonly used as a hydration aid during illness, particularly for those suffering from a fever or diarrhea. In addition, it is often consumed as a hangover remedy due to its rehydration properties.
Availability
Pocari Sweat is widely available in Japan and has also been exported to many countries worldwide, including the United States, China, South Korea, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
