hypotonic

In which case it would probably die upon entering the human body, as it would find us miserably hypotonic.

If they used pure water, the osmotic pressure would force water into your cells, causing them to burst (hypotonic).

Even if all water is salted, as long as it's iso- or hypotonic there is no hypertension.

Grab plants or something similar and put them inside three different solutions: hypertonic, isotonic and hypotonic.

When they are in hypotonic solutions, they gain water, swelling up and bursting like a balloon.

Water is hypotonic, and before it can be absorbed, the body has to add in glucose and electrolytes from internal supplies.

Any water you drink is already very much hypotonic relative to your bodily fluids.

Absolutely pure water -with no impurities at all – is the most hypotonic solution.

If you take in water without taking in sodium, your kidneys will work to excrete the water without the sodium, producing hypotonic urine.

If you drink just normal water, it's hypotonic and you'll lose electrolytes, bringing you to a hangover-like state - that might be brutal then.

Drinking too much distilled water is bad for you because it is hypotonic (it's missing salts), so it pulls salts out of your cells.

Distilled water works exactly the same here, but it is more hypotonic, so the required amount to get into problematic areas is probably lower.

> Notably, affected athletes often present with normal or somewhat elevated serum electrolyte levels, even if they are "salty sweaters," because of hypotonic sweat loss and a fall in intravascular volume.

"isotonic crystalloids" - Solutions such as normal saline used to restore volume proportionally to the bloodstream and intracellular spaces (as opposed to hypotonic or hypertonic, isotonic solutions just match the normal blood's osmolality) "sedation agents" - The patient is out, you keep 'em out, ideally without tanking their blood pressure.

Hypotonic sports drinks have their place too, but not when your exercise consists of walking up to the fridge.
