Can You Drink TOO MUCH Water? Hyponatremia, Summer's Unknown Risk

« Drink more! » — it's the summer advice. But it has a limit almost nobody knows: drinking liters of PLAIN water while sweating heavily can dilute your blood sodium. It's called hyponatremia, and it's the heatwave's unknown flip side.

  • ⚗️ The mechanism: when you sweat, you lose water AND sodium. If you replace only with plain water in large amounts (4-5L+), you dilute the remaining sodium — and sodium drives your cells' balance, brain included
  • 🏃 Who's concerned: mostly long efforts in heat (marathon, 6h hike, construction site in full sun) with massive water intake WITHOUT salt — documented in marathon runners
  • ⚖️ The right rule (no panic): for normal life, 2-2.5L/day poses zero problem. The issue is long effort + massive sweating + exclusively plain water
  • 🧂 The simple fix: beyond 2h of sweaty effort, add electrolytes — a pinch of salt in your diluted INTI bottle (the lemon also brings some potassium) + salty food at breaks. No €2-a-dose powders needed
  • 🥤 And definitely NOT the soda solution: sugary drinks bring almost no sodium — just sugar. They prevent nothing at all

Before you buy: the 5 questions we get

⏱️

How long does it last?

A 520 ml bottle = ~32 doses. At 1 dose a day that's a full month — under €1 per day.

🌶️

What does it taste like?

It bites. That's real ginger, not flavouring. 1 dose in a big glass of cold water, and you adjust to taste. Hot, iced, as tea or a mocktail.

🍬

Really 0% sugar?

0% added sugar, 0% alcohol. Where a soda runs 8-11g of sugar per 100ml and GIMBER ~34g/100ml, INTI adds none.

The balanced message: drink your daily 2-2.5L without fear — hyponatremia doesn't concern everyday life. But on a long, very sweaty effort, exclusive plain water isn't the friend you think: add salt (a pinch in the INTI bottle, salty food at breaks). ⚠️ During/after a long effort: headache + nausea + confusion + swelling (tight rings) WHILE having drunk a lot = possible hyponatremia — medical emergency, do NOT force more water.

❓ FAQ

Can you drink too much water?

Yes, in one precise case: long effort in heat with massive sweating, compensated exclusively by large amounts of plain water (4-5L+) — blood sodium dilutes, that's hyponatremia (documented in marathon runners). For normal life, 2-2.5L/day poses no problem. The fix on long efforts: add electrolytes — a pinch of salt in the diluted INTI bottle + salty food at breaks. Sodas help nothing (sugar, almost no sodium). ⚠️ Headache + nausea + confusion after drinking a lot during effort = emergency, don't force more water.
