Q: How much water should I drink?
A: Everyone should drink at least 1/2 of their IDEAL body weight X 75% in ounces of water per day. People who are active should drink more water to replenish the fluids lost during their workout. We recommend our Torch products for those who work out to assist with replacing electrolytes and pulling off excess lactic acid.
