NutritionGet Hydrated with Hydro Tablets Written by Nicola Joyce17th September 202129th September 2021 How do you stay hydrated in a heatwave? When water just won’t cut it, you need to add something extra to your drinks bottle – electrolytes. PhD Hydro Tablet is your new secret weapon for staying one step ahead of dehydration. PERFECT HYDRATION IN A TABLET Being hydrated for your training sessions and sports events is about more than not feeling thirsty. Dehydration can seriously impact how you feel, how you perform, and how much progress you make from training. And it doesn’t take much. Just 2% of bodyweight lost through dehydration can lead to cramps, fuzzy head, loss of concentration and lack of power output. That’s why it’s super important to hydrate properly during training, not just with water but with a dedicated electrolyte product. WHAT IS PHD HYDRO? The formula experts at PhD understand the challenge of getting hydrated and staying that way. When you’re training hard in warm weather, it can be easy to lose precious salts and electrolytes through sweat. Before you know what’s happening, you’re dehydrated and feeling all the negative effects. Training performance Forget mixing messy powders in water. PhD Hydro is our brand-new hydration tablet developed for training, racing, hiking and holidaying in hot or humid weather. The simple-to-use effervescent tabs mix quickly with water to give you optimal amounts of the key electrolytes commonly lost through training: sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium. Fun fact: sweat can contain up to 2000mg sodium per litre! 4 SUMMER-FRESH FLAVOURS What’s better than a fruity fresh drink on a hot day? That’s why our flavour experts created PhD Hydro in four flavours that will remind you of summer all year round. Try PhD Hydro in orange and pineapple, strawberry, berry, or grapefruit. WHAT’S IN PHD HYDRO? PhD Hydro is a 37% electrolyte blend of Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Chloride, Calcium Carbonate, Potassium Chloride, Tricalcium Phosphate, and Magnesium Carbonate with a small amount of inulin dietary fibre, added B-Vitamin complex, and sugar-free flavouring. HYDRATION ISN’T JUST FOR SUMMER Hard-working bodies need fluids and electrolytes all year round, especially if you train indoors and work up a sweat. It’s easy to think about hydration in summer when you can feel the temperature rising. But don’t forget to stay serious about hydration all year round. PhD Hydro makes it easy, each tablet dissolves quickly in water so you can drink it in the gym, on the bike, on the pitch or wherever you train. WHY DO YOU NEED PHD HYDRO?
