💧Stay Energised and Recovered with Smart Hydration
the citadel breakdown
🧠 What is electrolyte hydration, really?
Hydration isn’t just about water—especially when you’re pushing your body. Electrolyte hydration means you're restoring essential minerals like magnesium, sodium, potassium, and calcium that your body loses through sweat. These minerals are vital for muscle function, nerve signalling, energy production, and staying mentally sharp.
Hydrate+ blends fast-absorbing carbohydrates (dextrose monohydrate) with 5 essential electrolytes and recovery support compounds like taurine and vitamin C, making it a smart hydration tool for both athletes and anyone with an active lifestyle.
🗺️ Flow cue: Whether you're heading to a gym session, a surf, or an afternoon meeting, Hydrate+ gives your cells the support they need.
🔍 Low-sugar hydration options vs performance-focused hydration
You’ve probably seen “sugar-free” electrolytes popping up everywhere. While great for daily hydration, when you’re training hard or recovering post-session, your body needs carbs. That’s where Hydrate+ stands out.
• Includes dextrose (a fast fuel source)
• Supports glycogen replenishment post-exercise
• Enhances electrolyte uptake via carbohydrate-driven transport
🧩 Carbs + electrolytes = a potent combination for energy hydration.
⚡ When should you use an electrolyte hydration supplement?
This depends on your training load, environment, and daily routine. You might benefit from Hydrate+ if you:
• Train more than 3x/week
• Sweat heavily (hello summer training or sauna use)
• Do endurance-based sports like running, CrossFit, or BJJ
• Want recovery support without stimulants
• Need a clean hydration option without added junk
🧭 Navigation tip: Sip pre, intra, or post-workout. Or keep a serve on hand when you're feeling flat from heat, stress, or travel.
