Entrinsic Bioscience Unveils Animal Study on Breakthrough Hydration Technology
A patented blend of amino acids will be part of the next generation of oral rehydration solutions, according to an animal study conducted by a team of researchers at Entrinsic Bioscience. The study demonstrated that the blend of amino acids was more efficient in transporting electrolytes and fluids than the glucose-based oral rehydration solution (ORS) recommended by the World Health Organization. The formula also decreased epithelial anion channel activity and improved intestinal barrier function at a greater level. The two formulas were tested in animals which had diarrhea induced through cholera toxin.
