The Hydration Hack: Why Tea is More Hydrating Than Plain Water

Scientific Contributor

You’ve probably heard that the caffeine in tea makes it a diuretic. However, for a regular tea drinker, this effect is negligible. In fact, tea might be better for you than plain water.

Cellular Retention


Studies show that the minerals and polyphenols in tea help your body "hold onto" water at the cellular level. This prevents the "rushing through" effect where you drink water and immediately need to use the bathroom.

The Flavor Factor


Most people don't drink enough plain water because it's boring. The subtle aromatic complexity of mediFRESH—especially our Green and White teas—encourages people to sip throughout the day, ensuring they meet their 3-liter hydration target.

Did You Know?


A study by the *European Journal of Clinical Nutrition* concluded that drinking 4-6 cups of tea a day is just as hydrating as an equal amount of water, with the added benefit of antioxidant protection.

Stay Fresh


Next time you're thirsty, don't just reach for "plain." Reach for "potent." A chilled bottle of mediFRESH Hibiscus or Purple tea is the ultimate urban hydration hack.
