About Us
A science-based approach to personalized hydration
Our Mission
H₂Trak aims to help individuals maintain optimal hydration by providing personalized, science-based water intake recommendations. We understand that proper hydration is crucial for overall health and well-being, and that individual needs vary significantly based on multiple factors.
Scientific Basis
Our calculations are based on guidelines from the Institute of Medicine and the American Council on Exercise, incorporating peer-reviewed research on hydration needs.
Credible Sources
We reference established medical institutions including the World Health Organization (WHO) and Mayo Clinic for our hydration recommendations.
Personalization
Our algorithm considers multiple personal factors including weight, activity level, climate, and health conditions to provide tailored recommendations.
Our Methodology
Our hydration calculator uses a comprehensive approach to determine your daily water needs. The base calculation starts with your body weight, using the scientific guideline of approximately 30ml per kilogram of body weight.
We then adjust this base amount considering various factors:
- Physical activity level and exercise duration
- Climate conditions (temperature and humidity)
- Health conditions that may affect hydration needs
- Consumption of diuretics like caffeine
Each factor is weighted based on scientific research and medical guidelines to provide the most accurate recommendation possible.
Important Disclaimer
While we strive to provide accurate and scientifically-based recommendations, H₂Trak is not a substitute for medical advice. Our calculator provides general guidelines, but individual needs may vary. Always consult with healthcare professionals, especially if you have specific health conditions or concerns about your hydration needs.
