Here's what's inside every stick
We made ours different.
Why I Started Hydrant
I picked up every hydration product at Whole Foods, flipped them over, and read the labels. Stevia. Sucralose. "Natural flavors." Maltodextrin. Silicon dioxide. Synthetic dyes. Every single one.
As a biology student at Oxford, I knew the science only needed a few ingredients — the World Health Organization proved this 50 years ago. So why did every product have 15+? The answer was cost.
So I built Hydrant with one rule: every ingredient has to be real, pronounceable, and something I'd want in my own body.

How It Works
The World Health Organization's oral rehydration formula has saved over 50 million
lives. It needs three things: sodium, glucose, and water. We adapted it with real fruit
juice and real cane sugar.

What makes Hydrant so effective? All of our products are based on the World Health Organization’s guidelines for Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS). Beyond that, our products follow our unique two-pronged approach, thousands of hours of ingredient research, and a robust testing process. The result? Delicious, effective products carefully tailored to you.
PART ONE
the three levers of hydration
Our proprietary formula starts with 3 levers to help with rapid hydration: balanced electrolytes, presence of sugar, and a low osmolality (or concentration). The electrolytes mirror your bloodstream’s ratio for quick replenishment, sugar speeds up the absorption process, and low osmolality helps these nutrients get drawn into the body faster.
PART TWO
hydration
When at least two of these levers have been pulled by what you are drinking, you can fastrack absorption into the bloodstream. Our proprietary formula works like a fastpass in your body, allowing water and electrolytes to cut the line and quickly enter the bloodstream via a VIP lane. You’re hydrated faster than if you just drank water alone.
DUAL BENEFITS

FAQ
What's the difference between "real fruit juice powder" and "natural flavors"?
What's the difference between "real fruit juice powder" and "natural flavors"?
"Natural flavors" is an FDA term that covers hundreds of lab-synthesized compounds — some derived from sources that have nothing to do with the fruit on the label. Real fruit juice powder is actual fruit juice, dehydrated into powder. We use real blood orange, lime, and grapefruit juice.
Why does Hydrant have sugar when LMNT has none?
Why does Hydrant have sugar when LMNT has none?
The WHO oral rehydration formula requires glucose to activate the sodium-glucose cotransport mechanism — which pulls water into your bloodstream faster than water alone. Stevia doesn't activate this pathway. Our 4g of real cane sugar is there because the science requires it — it's 73% less than Liquid IV.
Why no stevia?
Why no stevia?
A lot of people can taste stevia's bitter, metallic aftertaste — even Coca-Cola couldn't solve it with Vitamin Water. We use real cane sugar and monk fruit extract instead.
Why no stevia?Is 260mg sodium enough? LMNT has 1,000mg.
Why no stevia?Is 260mg sodium enough? LMNT has 1,000mg.
1,000mg is 43% of your daily sodium limit in a single packet. That's designed for heavy sweaters on keto diets. For daily hydration, 260mg is calibrated to the WHO standard — enough to activate absorption without side effects.
How does Buy 2, Get 2 work?
How does Buy 2, Get 2 work?
Pick 4 flavors and buy 2 of our new, exclusive 28-Packs — we add the other 2 free. That's 112 sticks + 8 mystery sticks (120 total)
Do the zero-sugar flavors use stevia or sucralose?
Do the zero-sugar flavors use stevia or sucralose?
No. They use monk fruit extract — a natural, zero-calorie sweetener with no bitter aftertaste. We will never use stevia, sucralose, or any artificial sweetener in any Hydrant product.
