The right drink for the right reasons

Water has always been my drink of choice. It just makes me feel good. I always tell my kids to drink water if they have a craving, a headache, are constipated, hungry, etc. 


Water is so beneficial, so easy, so free yet so easily overlooked. It’s really a no brainer (actually your brain is 90% water!. Your body is about 70% water, the majority of your blood and every cell in your body is composed of water. Therefore, you need water to function properly.

The human body loses at least 2.5 litres of body fluids even without having any strenuous activity or any kind of physical training. We lose this much even on a quiet day at work or at school. Because the body doesn’t stop its bodily functions to keep us going and these body fluids are very important in maintaining proper circulation of the nutrients needed by every part of the body and also in keeping it from overheating.

While physical stress has always been attributed to lost body fluids, mental and emotional stress could also contribute to dehydration. Exposure to hot weather also makes the body perspire greater amounts of fluids just to keep our bodies cool. One might think that we are just losing water from dehydration, but along with these are the minerals and electrolytes that our body needs. Every time we lose these fluids is the time when we should rethink about what we drink.

There are many options out there in the market, but nothing comes close to Pocari Sweat’s safe and trusted formulation. From one of Japan’s most trusted pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies and currently the Philippines’ number one Japanese pharmaceutical company, Otsuka (Philippines) Pharmaceutical, Inc. (OPPI) has brought Pocari Sweat in the country to bring wellness that doesn’t only make you get better, but also keepyou to be better.

Unlike other electrolyte drinks available in market, Pocari Sweat is still much safer to drink. “It does not contain artificial colouring, preservatives, caffeine and is non-carbonated,” said Janeth M. Leus, OPPI Asst. Brand Manager. “Though the acidity level has been an issue to isotonic drinks which has an erosive effect on the dental enamel, with Pocari Sweat containing vitamin C and other acidic ingredients, its ingredients such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium turn alkaline once metabolized by the body,” Ms. Leus expounds. “Since the volume of these alkaline-forming ingredients contained in Pocari Sweat is greater than the acidic ones, it is classified as an alkaline-promoting beverage.”

There is no particular limit on the amount of Pocari Sweat one can drink, provided that your body is in good condition. To anyone doing their usual work out, training, or other physically strenuous activity, it is best to gauge how much fluid they lost and replace it in small amount of intakes. “But for people who have medical conditions such as diabetes or gastritis, or they are in a sugar or salt-restricted diet due to obesity or high blood pressure, consider your daily limits when drinking Pocari Sweat, because it contains salt and sugar,” Ms. Leus explains. “It is still best to consult your dietician or doctor on when is the best time to drink Pocari Sweat.”

Pocari Sweat right now is seen as another sports drinks that benefits athletes in their hydration needs, but OPPI sees this opportunity to widened its reach and not be limited to just the sports market. “Being far healthier and safer to drink compare to other electrolyte drinks, we see Pocari Sweat, years from now as the #1 Health Hydration Drink here in the Philippines,” Ms. Leus said.” Our formulation is safe to drink everyday even by an ordinary individual who does not have that much physical and strenuous activity to deal with. And yet the need for replenishing body ions is still needed with the right drink.”

“Pocari Sweat provides all the daily hydration needs in a healthy way,” Ms. Leus adds. “And it starts by rethinking your drink.”

Pocari Sweat comes in 330 ml. can, 350 ml. PET bottle, 500 ml. and two-liter PET bottle. Pocari Sweat is available in major chain drugstores, supermarkets and convenience stores.

Hydrating healthily in life 24/7


It is already a fact that we need water every day to keep our bodies healthy, functioning well and strong enough to withstand sickness. Yet we still go for drinks that quench our thirst and at the same time are flavorful and enjoyable to drink – juices and carbonated drinks are the usual suspects. They do taste good and give us some added nutrients; however, it is probable that some of them have chemicals that will not be as healthy as some minerals that are needed by the body.

Fortunately, Pocari Sweat, a health hydration drink by Otsuka Philippines Pharmaceutical Inc., brings hydration to a healthier but enjoyable level. Pocari Sweat is highly recommended to those who are
in need of immediate hydration, most especially those who have an active lifestyle and those who suffer from dehydration because of illness.

Pocari Sweat has a refreshing mild taste, even best when it’s cold, you won’t need another beverage to wash off a strong taste and flavor from your usual drink. Yet, children as young as one year old can safely drink it. It does not have artificial coloring, no preservatives, no caffeine, and no artificial sweetener, which then makes it safe for anyone who needs immediate hydration.

Especially now during these months when “ber-month” celebrations are close at hand, numerous parties will be held with family, friends, and co-workers from before the Christmas season until the New Year.

Alcohol will definitely flow and other fun activities will get you into that party mood that lasts up until the sun rises.

Those who love to go on a night out after work can get over hangover easily just by drinking Pocari Sweat before they turn in after their night cap. There is no fun in having those head-cracking hangovers.

When we drink alcoholic drinks like beer and cocktail, we get dehydrated easily because we tend to do a lot of restroom breaks.

Alcohol also drains the electrolytes that our bodies need to function that is why when we get drunk, we sometimes can’t get a hold of ourselves. Coffee and some warm soup may give us some relief for a time, but still, the best way to battle hangover is to replenish our body with enough electrolytes – something that a bottle of Pocari Sweat can give.

Pocari Sweat comes in 330ml can (Php 24.00), 350ml PET bottle (Php 24.00), 500ml PET bottle (Php 35.00), 2L PET bottle (Php 125.00). 

Pocari Sweat is available in major chain drugstores, supermarkets and convenience stores.
