FAQ'S
Q: When should I drink Hydrus?
Drink just before, during and after training, as often as you feel the need. It does not sit in the stomach so you can drink as much as you like and it will prevent cramping. You don't have to start drinking it an hour or more before activity - it works fast!
Q: How do I mix the Hydrus concentrate?
Just pour each package of Hydrus into enough water to make 500ml. No mixing is required.
Q: How much Hydrus should I drink?
Consume as much as it takes to replace weight lost through sweat. Weigh yourself before and after activity - 2 lb. of weight loss = 32 ounces or about a 1 liter of fluid. You can drink Hydrus anytime that you’re thirsty.
Q: Does Hydrus contain HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup)?
No, absolutely not, Hydrus is sweetened with all-natural stevia.
Q: Is there a type of water I ought to use to mix with Hydrus?
No special requirements. Tap water works fine.
Q: What happens if I get the ratio of water to Hydrus wrong?
Too much or too little water is not an issue, Hydrus will still hydrate. It is a concentrate, so diluting it will alter the flavour.
Q: Can I give Hydrus to my 7yr old who plays soccer?
Hydrus is recommended for everyone over four years old. In extreme heat conditions that could cause heat or sun stroke, having Hydrus handy for your child will be of vital benefit. Since Hydrus has no sugar, but sweetened with stevia there should be no reasonable limitation regarding calories. However, regulating electrolyte intake in relation to loss from sweat and daily activity should be considered. We suggest reading additional information, such as:
