Comparison of hydration efficacy of carbohydrate-electrolytes beverages consisting of isomaltulose and sucrose in healthy young adults: A randomized crossover trial

•Ingestion of an isomaltulose beverage attenuated urine production as compared to a sucrose beverage and water.•Beverage hydration index of isomaltulose beverage is higher than that of sucrose beverage.•Higher beverage hydration index of isomaltulose drink is likely due to an attenuated rate of water and glucose absorption.
