Even when we don’t exercise, our bodies lose water and electrolytes—through sweat, through urine, through our breath.
That means daily hydration requires more than just water: Our bodies need to replenish lost electrolytes, too. Carbohydrates play a crucial role as well, helping optimize fluid absorption at the cellular level (more on that below).
We developed our Hydration Boost formula to check every box for daily hydration, and more: It combines an optimized blend of five key electrolytes, eight trace minerals for overall wellness support, and just the right amount of carbohydrates to help accelerate the process of rehydration. And, of course, it comes in four thirst-quenching flavors.
The Key Electrolytes
Each Hydration Boost stick pack contains five essential electrolytes: calcium, chloride, magnesium, potassium and sodium. Together, they help replenish the electrolytes we lose through motion, exercise, and life’s daily rhythms.
Two important things to know about our optimized blend:
Magnesium Boost: Every Hydration Boost stick pack is a good source of daily magnesium, with 88 mg of magnesium to support muscle and nerve function.
Sodium Balance: In excess, sodium can cause bloating and puffiness. Hydration Boost contains a balanced 390 mg of sodium in each serving—it’s what you need in an electrolyte powder if you’re not running triathlons.
The Trace Minerals
Our bodies need minerals to function properly. There are two kinds of minerals: macrominerals (which your body needs in large amounts) and trace minerals (which your body needs in small amounts).
Hydration Boost includes both. The key electrolytes in this formula are all macrominerals. We added eight bioavailable trace minerals, too: boron, chromium, copper, iodine, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, and zinc. These essential microminerals activate enzymes that play a crucial role in helping us feel well.
Glucose Optimization
Hydration Boost includes a modest amount of organic sugar cane (just 4g of carbohydrates per stick pack) to help support rapid hydration.
Here’s why: Your body can absorb sodium and fluids on its own, but when sodium is paired with glucose, it can speed up the rehydration process. Glucose helps transport sodium and fluids into your body through activation of a protein known as SGLT1 (sodium-glucose co-transporter 1), which pulls water into the body more effectively than passive diffusion alone.
How to Use Hydration Boost
Hydration Boost stick packs are designed to be carried with you everywhere you go—so you can rehydrate effectively anytime. Just add one stick pack to 16 ounces of water and mix.
