What is in Dr. Hydrate?

• Mineral salts: calcium citrate, sodium chloride, magnesium citrate and potassium chloride give you the 4 main electrolytes.
• L-glutamine: the most common amino acid in muscle. Many athletes use glutamine to support recovery.
• Acetyl-L-carnitine: a form of carnitine, which plays a part in how your body makes energy. Acetyl-L-carnitine is often used to support focus.
• Aquamin: a mineral-rich red sea algae (Lithothamnion) that adds trace minerals.
• Probiotic: Bacillus coagulans, a hardy probiotic that can survive in a powder.
• Vitamins and minerals: B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and B12, plus zinc and selenium.
• Flavour and sweetener: natural flavours, natural colours and sucralose. No added sugar and no artificial flavours.

Dr. Hydrate vs a regular sports drink

A 600 ml bottle of sports drink can have more than 30 g of sugar. A 9 g scoop of Dr. Hydrate mixed in 600 to 700 ml of water has 0.3 g of sugar and 20 calories. Sports drinks are mostly sugar, water and salt. Dr. Hydrate adds calcium, magnesium, glutamine, carnitine, B vitamins and a probiotic. If you need fast carbs for a long race, a sports drink still has a place. For daily training and everyday hydration, Dr. Hydrate gives you the electrolytes without the sugar.

Is Dr. Hydrate safe for tested athletes?

Dr. Hydrate is HASTA certified. HASTA is an independent Australian program that tests every batch for substances banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), and checks how the product is made. That is why many athletes who get drug tested choose Dr. Hydrate.

How to take Dr. Hydrate

Mix 1 level scoop (9 g) with 600 to 700 ml of cold water and shake well. Any bits at the bottom are minerals and vitamins, so give the bottle another shake as you drink. Good times to have Dr. Hydrate:

• Morning: you wake up a little dehydrated, so have a serve before your first coffee.
• Before, during or after training: sip during long or sweaty sessions, or drink after to help replace what you lost.
• Afternoon slump: swap a sugary energy drink for a serve of Dr. Hydrate.
• Hot days and long shifts: great for outdoor work, travel or any day you sweat a lot.

Can you drink Dr. Hydrate every day?

Yes. Dr. Hydrate is made for daily use, and one serve gives you about 20 to 25% of the daily needs for each B vitamin, calcium, magnesium and zinc. Stick to the serve on the label. On big training days you can have a second serve, but most people only need one. Drink plain water through the day as well.

Who should drink Dr. Hydrate?

Dr. Hydrate is a good fit for gym-goers, runners, cyclists and team sport players, people who work hard jobs in the heat, and anyone who wants to drink more water without sugar. Dr. Hydrate is free from added sugar, caffeine and gluten, and the ingredient list has no animal products.

• A protein shake: after training, have Dr. Hydrate for fluids and a whey isolate like International Protein Amino Charged WPI for protein.
