How Electrolytes Drive Performance — And Why Hydrate+ Is Built Differently

How Electrolytes Drive Performance — And Why Hydrate+ Is Built Differently

When you’re training, your body isn’t just burning calories — it’s managing chemistry.

At the centre of that chemistry are electrolytes: the charged minerals that control hydration, endurance, and recovery.

Hydrate+ was designed to fuel this system intelligently — with performance doses of the key electrolytes and cofactors your body truly needs.

The science of electrolytes

Electrolytes are minerals that carry an electric charge when dissolved in fluid.

They regulate fluid movement, nerve firing, and muscle contraction. When you sweat, you lose both water and these charged minerals. Replace only water and you dilute your sodium levels, slowing rehydration and performance.

Electrolyte Function Dose in Hydrate+

Sodium – 1000 mg Drives fluid absorption, nerve signaling, and endurance output. 1000 mg

Potassium – 200 mg Balances sodium to stabilise muscle contractions and heartbeat rhythm. 200 mg

Magnesium – 60 mg Powers 300+ enzymatic reactions, prevents cramps, and supports recovery. 60 mg

Calcium – 50 mg Crucial for nerve transmission and muscle contraction. 50 mg

Coconut Water Powder – 500 mg Natural source of minerals and phytonutrients that aid hydration. 500 mg

We also include performance co-factors not found in most hydration mixes:

Taurine 500 mg — supports cellular hydration and muscle endurance.

Citrulline Malate 500 mg — boosts nitric oxide for improved blood flow and reduced fatigue.

B-Vitamins B3, B5, B6, B12 — convert food into energy, sharpen focus, and reduce tiredness.

Vitamin C 60 mg + Zinc 10 mg — antioxidant and immune support during stress and training.

3 key ways Hydrate+ supports physical performance

1. Faster, deeper hydration

Sodium and potassium in the right ratio pull water into your cells — not just through your gut. The result is faster hydration and better water retention during endurance training, heat exposure, or multi-hour workdays.

2. Muscle & nerve performance

Every contraction depends on electrolyte flow. Magnesium and calcium ensure your muscles fire cleanly, avoiding cramps, twitching, or sluggish recovery. Combined with taurine, this supports both sustained output and smoother recovery.

3. Enhanced endurance & recovery

Citrulline Malate widens blood vessels and increases oxygen delivery, while B-vitamins and vitamin C help convert nutrients into energy and reduce oxidative stress — meaning you can go harder, longer, and recover faster.

Real-world hydration strategy

Before training: Begin hydrated — 1 serve of Hydrate+ 30 minutes before your session.

During endurance or heat exposure: 1 serve every 60–90 minutes, depending on sweat rate.

Post-session: Replenish fluids and electrolytes to speed recovery and reduce soreness.

In summary

Hydration isn’t just water. It’s the balance between fluids, electrolytes, and the cellular energy systems that power performance.
