SUPER HYDRATING TROPICAL REFRESHER

It's important to stay hydrated when you're undergoing treatment. Our super hydrating tropical refresher is a natural, easy-to-make alternative to commercial sports drinks, so you can replenish your body without added sugar or chemicals. The electrolytes in lemons and coconut water help restore important minerals that your body might be low in. Pineapple contains a phytonutrient called bromelain that is anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial, and that pinch of salt is all you need to restore your sodium levels. Mix up this drink and keep a pitcher in the fridge for a refreshing and hydrating pick-me-up whenever you need it.
