Just Add to Cold Water, Concentrated Portion-Type Sports Drink! Easier Summer Hydration and Salt Replenishment with "Salt Recovery Drink Portion Type (Sports Drink Flavor)" Launched

Doshisha Corporation (Osaka Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Osaka; Representative Director and President: Masayuki Nomura; hereinafter Doshisha), which plans, develops, and sells lifestyle-related products, will add "Salt Recovery Drink Portion Type (Sports Drink Flavor)" to its "Salt Recovery" series, sold as a measure against intense summer heat, and will begin selling it at retailers nationwide from mid-April.

**[Development Background]**
With the increase in scorching hot days, interest in countermeasures is growing. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare recommends "replenishing water and salt frequently, even if you don't feel thirsty"* to prevent heatstroke. When sweating, not only water but also electrolytes such as sodium are lost, so it is considered important to replenish both water and salt.
Since 2025, our company has been selling "Salt Recovery Petit Jelly," an "eat-to-replenish" salt product, as part of the "Salt Recovery" series. There has been a growing demand for easier forms of salt replenishment, and it has been very well received.
Therefore, we focused on "drink-to-replenish" salt as a new option. We developed a liquid portion type that allows you to easily make a salt drink by simply pouring this product into 500-600ml of cold water and lightly shaking the bottle. This product is proposed as a solution that reduces the hassle of preparation and undissolved powder often associated with powder types, and can be widely used from daily life to sports scenes.

**[Product Features]**
**◆ Replenishes salt lost through sweat**
Generally, adults are said to lose about 0.5 to 1g of salt per hour during light exercise or outdoor activities. This product contains 0.8g of salt equivalent per portion, supporting the replenishment of salt easily lost through sweat.

**◆ Liquid portion type that can be made by simply adding to water**
We have concentrated a salt drink into a portion-type container, similar to coffee creamer or gum syrup. Since it is liquid, you can easily make a salt drink by simply adding it to water and lightly shaking it, allowing for easy hydration and salt replenishment even when you are out. Cold water is easily available even when you are out, such as from vending machines, so you can take measures against intense heat by just carrying this product. It is also ideal for long outings and sports scenes as it allows you to keep your luggage compact.
