  Remember that the active ingredient is something that *causes* the
symptoms, not something that *cures* them (for example in a homeopatic
sleeping pill the active ingredient is usually caffeine). Hence taking
this ingredient *away* from the water likewise takes the *symptoms* away
from the person. The more of it you take away, the more effective the stuff
is. It makes perfect sense.
