GU Hydration Drink Tablets

GU Hydration Drink Tablets are created primarily for hydration, GU Hydration Drink Tabs offer the athlete a low-calorie drink option. GU Hydration Drink Tabs are reformulated with xylitol to help reduce gastrointestinal distress when compared to sorbitol. Sodium, the primary electrolyte lost in sweat, helps maintain water balance. Use GU Hydration Drink Tabs before, during, and after exercise to hydrate and replenish electrolyte levels. Drop one tab into 16 oz (475ml) of water—pre-hydrate before activity. During activity, drink 20-30 oz per hour (590-890ml). Made with vegan ingredients. WHAT IS HYDRATION? Hydration is defined as the process of absorbing water. The human body is roughly 60% water, so hydration is crucial for everything you do daily, especially exercise. Without enough hydration, your body lacks the water levels necessary to function optimally, which is called dehydration. WHAT IS PROPER OR OPTIMAL HYDRATION? Athletes should generally be supplementing water with electrolytes both DURING activity as well as throughout the day. Good hydration is always essential, but particularly in the days and weeks before an event or after a hard workout. Use GU Hydration Drink Tabs whenever, wherever, and you’ll see a boost in preparation, sustenance, and recovery. HOW DO HYDRATION DRINK TABS WORK? They provide a good balance of fluids and electrolytes. Fluids from water combined with the key electrolyte sodium in our Hydration Drink Tabs help your body hold onto hydration. If you drink water alone, the body will expel it quickly. Drinking water with sodium helps it stay in your body longer, keeping you hydrated and preventing dehydration. WHY DOES GU FOCUS PRIMARILY ON SODIUM? Sodium is the primary electrolyte lost in sweat and crucial to replace during exercise to help avoid dehydration, and a more serious low blood sodium condition known as hyponatremia. Hyponatremia can be life-threatening, and athletes are at a greater risk of developing it either by drinking too much plain water or by losing too much sodium through sweat.
