FAQs
Why do companies provide Dynaforce to their workers?
Dehydration is a dangerous condition and every effort should be made to avoid it. Dehydration will cause an increase in heart rate to do the same rate, possible kidney damage over the long term and a lowered resistance to heat.
A by-product of dehydration is mental confusion and impaired ability to make decisions or handle machinery. as a result, accident rates will increase in the last half of a shift carried out in hot, humid conditions and worker productivity is reduced due to feeling fatigue.
The effects of dehydration and the subsequent potential escalation of heat related illnesses and injuries such as heat stroke are negated by drinking the right amount of balanced replacement fluid, before, during and after work.
Companies provide Dynaforce to meet their obligations of duty of care in providing a safe working environment for their employees and to ensure workers are as comfortable and productive as possible in the hot humid conditions.

While water can quench mouth thirst, it cannot immediately restore body thirst.
Dehydration occurs in a variety of dorms and depletes muscle cells of electrolytes (Important minerals and body fluids) which weaken the cells and keep them from functioning normally.
Water is absorbed slowly from the stomach and cannot retain in the extracellular cavity where dehydration has occurred. Dynaforce is hypotonically formulated and it tastes great, people drink more that when there is just water available on an "ad hoc" basis.
How much should you drink?
This varies according to the age, fitness, diet and lifestyle of the individual. Other factors such as length of shift, degree and type of encapsulating clothing worn (this protective clothing increases the heat load on the body) and exposure to continuous radiant heat all impact on how much to drink. Studies in industry indicate a person exposed to these "at risk" conditions or in very fatiguing situations should drink one 250ml cup of Dynaforce every 15 to 20 minutes.

Dynaforce is less expensive than milk, coffee or most other replacement drinks.

Effectively, this creates no extra expenditure but improves the overall fluid intake of workers when they most need it.
