Whether or not it's a supp, it's my chemical of choice.

Only a small amount of water is required, but if you go beyond those requirements there are notable benefits including increased energy, mobile mucus, fluid joints, ... most aspects are improved with additional, supplemented water, provided you don't overdo it of course.

None of this is supported in the literature.

Drink when you get thirsty, that is all you need. Being mildly dehydrated periodically may actually be good for us (thirst is not necessarily a signal of dehydration either). We didn't evolve with a constant water supply nor do we need to sip constantly throughout the day, our bodies are very good at fluid regulation.

Valtin H. "Drink at least eight glasses of water a day." Really? Is there scientific evidence for "8 x 8"? American journal of physiology. Regulatory, integrative and comparative physiology. 2002;283(5):R993-1004. Available at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12376390.

I say Genome's is the best post yet so +reps. Talking down what I meant this thread for... water. Yet it took a turn to supplement discussion, where no one else has presented any sort of logic, it's just "fail fail moron fail facepalm fail idiot fail". Sure you try and say water is not a supplement, but imo (obviously imo, you see that red ^_^) all you have is strength in numbers not intelligence. Which is what I would expect from a brotastic forum.

Back to genome:

Equally to be emphasized, lest the message of this review be misconstrued, is the fact (based on published evidence) that large intakes of fluid, equal to and greater than 8 x 8, are advisable for the treatment or prevention of some diseases and certainly are called for under special circumstances, such as vigorous work and exercise, especially in hot climates. Since it is difficult or impossible to prove a negative -in this instance, the absence of scientific literature supporting the 8 x 8 recommendation- the author invites communications from readers who are aware of pertinent publications.

I agree with the author because I'm not finding any studies on water :/ plenty of drinking water safety studies though. I'll continue to look after lab

Technically- Dustin makes some good points.

If water is not a supp, no living requirement is a supp. BCAAs/Whey/etc all are not supps then.


However people's definition of a supplement are practical, not technical.
