Watermelon Hydrate Electrolyte Drink Packets (12)

300mg. Mixed into 500ml as directed, that works out to 600mg per litre of finished drink, which is higher than a standard sports drink and lower than a salt-forward mix.

Published guidance for endurance sessions sits at 300 to 600mg of sodium per hour, so one packet an hour is a reasonable starting point and two suits a heavy or salty sweater. Use the calculator above to work out your session, then adjust based on how you feel across a few weeks.

Five. Per packet: 300mg sodium, 150mg chloride, 100mg potassium, 50mg magnesium and 20mg calcium.

Yes. Each 3g serve contains 0 kilojoules and 0 grams of sugar. The electrolytes are mineral salts and carry no energy, and it is sweetened with stevia. A litre of standard sports drink carries roughly 850 to 1,000 kilojoules by comparison, so if you are already taking gels there is nothing here to work around.

No. UCAN Hydrate is sweetened with stevia extract, specifically Rebaudioside A. There is no sucralose, no acesulfame potassium, no aspartame and no artificial colours. The full ingredient list is sodium citrate, citric acid, magnesium phosphate, natural flavours, potassium citrate, salt, stevia extract and tricalcium phosphate.

UCAN Hydrate is available in Berry, Lemon-Lime, Watermelon and Pineapple. Each flavour comes as a 30-serve jar or 12-pack sachets. Not sure where to start? Try the Variety Pack and taste all 4 before committing to a full jar.

One packet into 500ml of water, then shake. Sip every 10 minutes rather than drinking large volumes at once.

Yes, and that is the usual setup. Hydrate carries no carbohydrate, so it never overlaps with whatever you are using to fuel. Note that Edge + Electrolyte gels carry 200mg of sodium each, so count those in when you work out your hourly total.

A standard sports drink carries 50 to 60 grams of sugar per litre because it is trying to be your fuel and your fluid at once. UCAN Hydrate carries none. It sits above a sports drink on sodium per litre, adds magnesium and calcium that sports drinks leave out, and lets you drink as much as you need without changing your fuelling plan.

Same formula in both. The 30 serve jar works out cheaper per serve and suits home use. The 12 packets suit training away from home, race weekends and travel, where a scoop and a jar is the last thing you want to manage.

The lightest of the four flavours. It barely registers as flavoured, which is the point if you want electrolytes without tasting a drink all session. If you want something with more to it, try Pineapple.
