Why, How Much & When?
Making up around 60% of our body weight, water is a key component to maintaining health and preventing dehydration consequences such as headaches, fatigue, and even nausea. When we exercise, we need to replace fluid lost in sweat. A crucial role of fluids in performance is to enable our blood to easily transport nutrients around our body, which are essential to keep our muscles fuelled and oxygenated.
When mixed with water to the correct concentration, PURE Electrolyte Hydration will assist with ensuring adequate fluid intake during exercise and help prevent or treat mild dehydration that may occur as a result of sustained strenuous exercise.
Formulated with key electrolytes; sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, PURE Electrolyte Hydration helps to replace electrolytes lost during exercise & sweating. In a performance context, these 4 electrolytes play a pivotal role in water balance, supporting the nervous system and functioning of muscles.
When exercise lasts longer than 60 minutes, a sports drink should be considered to replace lost fluid and electrolytes. Specific fluid recommendations can vary from approximately 500ml to upwards of 1000ml per hour.
Carbohydrates in sports drink also can assist with faster rehydration and energy requirements during exercise. PURE Electrolyte Hydration is designed to rapidly replace energy during exercise. Formulated with a specific blend of sucrose and glucose it is fast absorbing, tummy-friendly and not sickly sweet, making it easy to drink at full strength.
