Where marketing would have you believe you need to avoid dehydration and replace the salt lost in sweat to perform, research shows that this isn’t the case. Instead studies show that the body is very capable of handling mild levels of dehydration, and the loss of body weight can even be beneficial.

Furthermore, studies on athletes shows that salt loss is easily handled, and that overdoing salt intake could do more harm than good.

We believe that to perform at your best you need a hydration drink that focuses on keeping you between 0-2% dehydrated. Hydra+ does this with a balance of carbohydrates and sodium that will speed water absorption at the right rate which can be adjusted depending on your training.

If your training is going to be high intensity and short in duration (~1h):
Mix 1 scoop with ~8oz water and sip through training or drink to thirst. This will prioritize electrolyte and energy replacement for faster recovery.

If your training is going to be lower intensity but for longer duration (~2h+) and/or in the heat:
Mix 1 scoop with 16oz water for each hour of training, sip throughout and always drink with thirst.

In keeping you between 0-2% dehydrated, using Hydra+ regularly when you train or compete will ensure that hydration status doesn’t negatively impact your performance. 

Hydra+ is for all athlete types, but will be more important in maintaining hydration status in endurance athletes going longer distances, or for athletes tackling particularly high intensity or longer duration training sessions where thirst kicks in. It can also be used as a great tasting, lower calorie, real food “energy drink” for shorter training sessions if desired. 

It can also be used for hydration support in hot climates, without training too.

Hydra+ is suitable for any athlete type.
