HYDRA 10

Probably the best sports hydration supplement on the market

What is it?
Hydra 10 is a unique formulation of glucose polymer combined with scientifically researched blend of vitamins and minerals in a hypotonic, pleasant drink to promote optimal rehydration after training or sport and/or to get hydrated before engaging in training/competition.

Hydra 10 is drink aimed to effectively rehydrate the body, and which contains a range of important electrolytes normally lost in sweat as well as a small amount of carbohydrate for energy and CoQ10. The key (and unique) components, in our view, are the doses of the electrolytes sodium and magnesium as well as the addition of CoQ10 (the ‘spark plug’ of the muscle). Hydra 10 contains significant amounts of these two crucial electrolytes – more than in any other current product – and is yet refreshing to drink. Furthermore, there is an addition of a small amount of carbohydrate for energy and our novel use of CoQ10 to energise the body.

Who is it for?
Hydra 10 can be used by any person (athlete or not) who wishes either to rehydrate after sweat (or other body fluid loss e.g. diarrhoea) or to minimise body fluid loss in a hot environment. We recommend that Hydra 10 can be used by athletes in preparation for training or competition or in recovery from training and competition. Indeed, Hydra 10 will help when taken during training or events in the heat.

Why not try Hydra 10 as a refreshing drink to take during the day when on holiday or when the weather is hot? Why not pack Hydra 10 as part of your holiday baggage to be used when you need to rehydrate either from sweat loss or even if suffering from diarrhoea?

When to take it?
Probably the most useful time for athletes to take Hydra 10 will be after training or competition when sweat loss has been incurred. However in our view, it would be beneficial to take Hydra 10 leading up to competition or training, or to take it during a prolonged session.

The day before competition is often the most important day to get ready, nutritionally. Taking 500ml to 1 litre of Hydra 10 through the day would be desirable. Try it and see the difference!!!

Why?
Hydra 10 is based on the concept of oral rehydration solutions BUT with a difference! Hydra 10 contains the same amounts of carbohydrate and electrolytes as some key oral rehydration solutions but has added amounts of magnesium and CoQ10. In addition, the pleasant taste of this product would encourage drinking and so help hydration. Most oral rehydration solutions do not contain magnesium and certainly not CoQ10. Magnesium has been included since it is a key electrolyte lost in sweat and may contribute to likely cramping during exercise. In addition, magnesium supplementation has been demonstrated to improve the lactate response during exercise. CoQ10 is a co-factor in numerous energy processes in the cell and has been termed as the ‘spark plug’ of the cell. Studies have shown in helps reduce feelings of fatigue after training and also to improve exercise performance.

Dehydration by as little as 2% body weight loss due to sweating is known to be a factor contributing to fatigue during prolonged bouts of exercise. This becomes more crucial when training or competing in the heat. When there is a need to maintain or replace body fluids as a priority, it is necessary to drink a hypotonic drink such as Hydra 10. Water, although hypotonic, is NOT the best rehydration drink because it fails to encourage drinking and can lead to continued fluid loss via urination. Hydra 10 is deemed to be eminently suitable for rehydration, and it has been specifically formulated to provide small amounts of energy (in the form of carbohydrate] as well as sufficient electrolytes to replace that lost via sweating, urine, and even diarrhoea. Many oral rehydration drinks do not taste particularly pleasant – they are often salty in taste. We believe Hydra 10 is more tasty and refreshing than these other drinks. Try it!!!
