The Science of Hydration - Health and productivity under occupational heat

July 24, 2020

In the largest study of its kind to date, a meta-analysis from Flouris et al. in The Lancet Planetary Health determined the effects of occupational heat strain on worker health and productivity. Analysing the results of over 100 studies from 30 countries measuring more than 447 million workers, the authors investigated a wide range of industries including agriculture, mining and construction.

Saliva Osmolarity Vs Urine Specific Gravity? What Should You Pick?

June 30, 2020

A common question we get asked at MX3 is how Salivary Osmolarity (SOSM) measurements made with the MX3 Hydration Testing System compare to Urine Specific Gravity (USG) in relation to dehydration. USG spot-checks are routinely used by many work sites and sports teams, but recent research reveals that this method can greatly over-estimate or underestimate the number of dehydrated individuals. This post will summarize some of the studies investigating USG and SOSM so you can better understand how these hydration biomarkers match up.
