Hydro+ Powder

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I added the Science in Sport Hydro+ Powder to my bottle strategy on longer rides, and it filled a gap I did not realize I had. Running plain water in a second bottle used to mean my electrolyte intake fell off in the back half of hard efforts, and switching to Hydro+ in that bottle kept my legs feeling more responsive and my focus sharper all the way to the finish."

Dehydration does not have to reach critical levels to impair performance. Research consistently shows that fluid losses exceeding just two to three percent of body mass reduce power output and increase perceived effort, which on a long ride or a hot criterium translates directly into time lost and watts dropped. The Science in Sport Hydro+ Powder was engineered to make consistent electrolyte replacement as frictionless as possible, fitting into any hydration strategy without adding sugar, complexity, or bulk.

Each 4.1-gram sachet delivers 1,576mg of a five-electrolyte blend covering sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and chloride, targeting the full spectrum of minerals lost through sweat rather than just sodium replacement alone. This complete electrolyte profile supports fluid retention at the cellular level, helping the body use the water you are drinking more efficiently across long efforts in warm conditions. The addition of Vitamins C, B6, and B12 addresses the secondary performance demands of multi-hour rides, supporting energy metabolism and reducing the fatigue accumulation that makes the final hour of a long effort feel disproportionately hard.

Sugar-free and fast-dissolving, the Hydro+ Powder runs cleanly in a second bottle alongside a higher-calorie energy drink without conflicting with carbohydrate targets or adding unnecessary sweetness fatigue over hours in the saddle. Single-serve sachets fit in a jersey pocket for mid-ride additions to a fresh bottle, and Informed Sport certification gives competitive athletes the batch-tested confidence they need when racing under anti-doping jurisdiction.
