Why Investors Backed Instant Hydration
Instant Hydration sells electrolyte drink powder to people who exercise. The formula centers on French gray sea salt and a deep-sea mineral blend. It avoids sugar and artificial additives while providing a concentrated electrolyte dose.
The problem it targets
Intense exercise can increase electrolyte loss by 2,000 milligrams an hour. Sodium supports fluid balance, nerve signaling and muscle contraction. Sports-medicine guidance identifies sodium replacement as especially important during long exercise or heat exposure. Moderate exercise can cause 400 to 700 milligrams of sodium loss per hour. Needs vary with sweat rate and conditions.
What the product does
Each serving supplies 500 milligrams of sodium. The formula also uses Aquamin, a mineral complex sourced 600 meters below the Pacific. Its French gray sea salt retains 83 trace minerals. It markets the formula as having seven times the electrolytes of major sports drinks.
Progress so far
Instant Hydration reports laboratory testing for safety, taste and performance. A medical advisory board covering nutrition, cardiology and neurology helped develop the formula. Development also involved Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson and UFC fighter Max Holloway. The finished product has not undergone independent clinical trials.
