Normal saline (the carrier in Rehydrate) is sodium chloride and water. It works — but it is slightly hyperchloremic relative to blood, and large volumes can produce mild metabolic acidosis. Lactated Ringers is a balanced crystalloid that adds calcium, potassium, and lactate in proportions much closer to blood plasma. The lactate is metabolized by the liver into bicarbonate, supporting acid-base balance during recovery.
Emergency departments and surgical recovery units use Lactated Ringers as the standard fluid for moderate-to-severe dehydration, post-vomiting recovery, and post-operative hydration. At TrufaMED, Rehydrate+ is the recommended option for patients recovering from gastroenteritis or food poisoning, severe heat exhaustion, post-Ironman or other endurance event recovery, and any patient who simply prefers the more physiologic fluid choice.
Rehydrate+ is delivered in the same 30 to 45 minute window as standard Rehydrate. The infusion experience is identical from a patient perspective — same comfortable Eames chair, same physician oversight, same Red Light Therapy availability. The difference is entirely in the carrier fluid composition.
