Intake of fluid, water-salt solutions, water and NaCl resulted in hyperhydration, the level and the duration of which varied with respect to the pattern and composition of the ingredients consumed. As applied to real space flights, fractional consumption of water and NaCl proved most promising. This regimen yielded a distinct and prolonged hyperhydration and increased orthostatic and LBNP tolerance of the test subjects.
