                                While the famous oral rehydration therapy (ORT) relies on glucose to enhance sodium absorption, the human body is equipped with multiple, redundant systems for absorbing electrolytes without any sugar at all. Can you absorb electrolytes without glucose? The answer is a clear yes, and understanding these alternative pathways is crucial for optimizing your daily hydration.
