NASA scientists are branching out from their day job of putting people and things in space and getting in on some of that sweet, sweet sports drink money with a sports drink/zero-calorie electrolyte liquid concentrate called, The Right Stuff.

In their own words:

Developed as a remedy for dehydration, it helps prevent the loss of body fluids during heavy exercise, heat exposure and illness. It also can be used to treat and prevent dehydration caused by altitude sickness and jetlag.

The novel electrolyte formula contains a specific ratio of key ingredients, sodium chloride and sodium citrate, for rapid restoration of hydration. These electrolytes, dissolved in water, optimize the levels of sodium ions in the body. The beverage is an isotonic formulation that restores both intra- and extracellular body fluid volumes in dehydrated astronauts, athletes and others.

At about $2.70 per ampule, when you buy 10 at a time and more when you only buy three, The Right Stuff ain’t cheap, but I am guessing it would make one hell of a hangover remedy. [The Right Stuff via NASA, Medgadget, Crunch Gear]
