Glucose + sodiumIncluded around established intestinal transport principles used in oral rehydration.
Multiple ionsThe formula supplies sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate and citrate-related species.
Deliberate formulationEach ingredient has a defined functional or formulation role.

What matters

Built from oral rehydration principles

The formula is designed around established hydration physiology rather than a long list of added ingredients. Sodium, glucose and the supporting electrolyte system are the focus.

Best Hydrate is its own formulation. Refer to the current product label for exact ingredients, directions and regulated product information.

LOW-SUGAR HYDRATION

LOW SUGAR HITS THE HYDRATION SWEET SPOT.

1 g of sugar per 100 mL prepared. Best Hydrate keeps a small amount of purposeful glucose in the formula for sodium-glucose transport while avoiding a conventional high-sugar load.

Purposeful glucose. Not zero. Not overloaded.
