- A drink mix with all the electrolytes and just a hint of flavor for hydrating all day long - Incredibly low osmolality means easy digestion without disruption - Hint of flavor from real fruit that won't wear out your taste buds during long or hot days - The clearest, cleanest, most refreshing way to get the electrolytes you need

Our Hydration Sport Drink Mix was created for a simple purpose - to replace the electrolytes lost in sweat and to provide a little bit of energy when working out, without offending your palate or gut. We initially created this drink because some of the world’s best athletes needed better. Conventional sports drinks made them sick. They were undrinkable - too sweet, over-flavored, and didn’t even replace what was lost in sweat – which defeated the whole purpose, like fighting thirst with more thirst. The best athletes needed something to safely hydrate, something to quench their thirst, and something to help them perform better. So with their help, we reimagined sports drinks, stripping down what used to be a neon-colored carnival to its bare essentials. In the process, we learned that simple wasn’t just better for elite athletes, it was better for everyone who works hard and sweats. The result is a sports drink with minimal sugar (4g per 100 ml) and a ratio of sugar (glucose + fructose) that is optimized for faster absorption, an electrolyte profile that actually matches what is lost in sweat (800 mg sodium, 80 mg potassium, 100 mg calcium, and 80 mg of magnesium per liter), and only real fruit for flavor for a light and refreshing taste that you can drink all day. That’s it - less sugar, the right electrolyte profile, and real fruit. So, if you’ve never met a sports drink you wanted to take home, your luck is about to change. Drink when thirsty. Don't when not. Repeat as necessary.

Drink when thirsty and leaking like a busted fire hydrant. Don't drink while deep in the middle of a Netflix marathon session or sending emails (unless, you're also on your trainer). Meaning, if you haven't earned it, you don't deserve it.

Our Sport Superfuel Drink Mix was created for athletes who push so hard that they can't easily take in enough calories to perform at their best. For years, we've preached fueling with real food, like our famous rice cakes or Anytime Energy Bars. Why? Because traditional fueling gels and drinks use carbohydrates that break down too fast to tolerate, causing gastrointestinal distress. But, we get it—you can't always make or carry real food—you want power in a bottle. We've discovered the answer in a better carbohydrate (with a funny name) that digests steadily like real food does: Cluster Dextrin. One serving of Superfuel gives you 400 calories, powered by Cluster Dextrin, plus the electrolytes lost in sweat to fuel and hydrate your biggest days. We've tested this product for over 20 months with the world's greatest athletes, including Gold Medalist Triathlete Gwen Jorgensen and the EF Education First Pro Cycling team. It has allowed these athletes to drink their fuel on some of the longest and most intense events in the world when they can't eat real food without causing gastrointestinal distress. Use it when there's no time to chew. NON-GMO, GLUTEN FREE, DAIRY FREE, KOSHER, VEGAN
