Sponsor's own description
Recently changes in mood and cognition have been reported following minor reductions in hydration status. The aim is to explore that such changes in part at least reflect placebo response; therefore the consumption of plain or coloured water will be compared in drinks designed to differ in their ability to rehydrate.
