This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research is testing how women's bodies rehydrate differently depending on their life stage—whether they're in their reproductive years, going through the menopause transition, or past menopause. Researchers want to compare two types of drinks: plain water and an electrolyte solution (a drink containing salts and minerals). By studying how these drinks work across different female life stages, scientists hope to better understand how hormones affect the body's ability to stay hydrated.
Hormones change significantly as women move through different life stages, and these hormones control how the body balances fluids and salt. However, doctors and researchers don't yet understand how these hormonal changes affect rehydration—meaning there's no clear guidance on whether women in different life stages should drink plain water or electrolyte solutions. This study aims to fill that gap.

You will visit the research clinic 5 times over several weeks. At some visits, you'll fast overnight and drink plenty of water beforehand; at other visits, you'll restrict fluids for about 18 hours. During each visit, you'll drink either plain water or an electrolyte solution, and researchers will measure how well your body rehydrates by taking blood samples and other measurements. You'll need to avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24 hours before each visit and follow specific eating and drinking instructions before arriving.
