Go Hydro is a product from Science in Sport (SiS) designed to help you stay hydrated when exercising. It comes as a tube of tablets consisting of various minerals or electrolytes. You bung a tablet in a bottle of water, wait while it dissolves, then drink it during your ride. As a way to help you avoid dehydration, it definitely does the job.

For those of us who run in the heat, being proactive with fluids, carbohydrate, sodium, and potassium before a run can also be helpful, says Bonci. But you’re not limited to electrolyte drinks—you can do that with a healthy diet, as well. “For instance, orange juice with salt added could be consumed before a run,” Bonci says. “During the run, an electrolyte drink would be advised, and after the run, replace fluid, carbs, sodium, potassium with food and beverages rather than an electrolyte supplement or beverage.” Whatever your hydration strategy, the important thing is that you drink fluids and replace lost salt so your muscles can perform their best. How We Chose These Electrolyte Tablets There are 5 electrolytes in ZERO: Magnesium, potassium, sodium, calcium and chloride. In ZERO Protect there are 4 electrolytes: Magnesium, potassium, sodium, and chloride. ZERO Caffeine Hit is a refreshing sugar free electrolyte caffeine drink with zero calories that makes it simple and easy to stay hydrated. When you sweat, you lose vital minerals so it's important that they are replenished. With key electrolytes, sodium and magnesium, ZERO Caffeine Hit gives you what water can't.

Although ZERO and ZERO Protect is not a caffeine product, it may contain traces of caffeine (less than 2mg) from the Green Tea Leaves Extract. ZERO Caffeine Hit contains 75mg caffeine per tablet.

The tablets contain vitamin C, which is a useful inclusion for several reasons. It’s known to improve immunity and plays an important role as an antioxidant, but it’s not necessary for hydration. However, it’s important to note endurance athletes should avoid any supplements containing antioxidants during the adaptation phase of their training. Yes, but some of the natural colouring used in ZERO Protectcan stain the bladder if left in there for longer periods of time. You can continue to use your bladder with the discolouration.

If you are dehydrated, then you need to rehydrate your body with fluids. It’s better to drink little and often rather than trying to drink a lot all in one go. A drink with electrolytes is also beneficial because dehydration can also change your electrolyte balance and decrease key minerals in your body. Electrolytes are minerals in your body that help your body’s blood chemistry, muscle action and process. Sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium are all electrolytes. Ideally we should, of course, prevent dehydration in the first place so let’s have a look at what you can do to stop it happening!
