This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing how a woman's life stage — whether she's in her reproductive years, going through menopause, or past menopause — affects how her body rehydrates using water versus an electrolyte solution. Hormones change dramatically across a woman's lifetime, and these changes may affect how her body manages fluid and salt balance. The study wants to understand whether water or an electrolyte drink works better at different life stages.
Hormones that shift during menopause are known to affect thirst, fluid balance, and how the body handles salt. However, researchers don't yet understand how rehydration actually works across different female life stages, so this study is filling that gap.

You would visit the research site 5 times over several weeks. At some visits, you'll fast overnight and then drink either water or an electrolyte solution, while researchers measure how well your body rehydrates. At other visits, you'll restrict all fluids for about 18 hours before drinking the test beverage. Between visits, you'll need to avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol, and follow specific eating and drinking instructions. The study lasts several weeks total and involves multiple blood or urine tests to measure hydration.
