(I don't read any research or know the ingredients of Pocari. I just guess from the information I see on this topic with my knowledge as a pharmacist. It may not be accurated)

Aside from water, Pocari Sweat also contains electrolyte minerals such as, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium and Calcium. These electrolytes are lost by the body during perspiration. It is not enough to drink water alone because these electrolytes should be replenished to prevent spontaneous dehydration.
