SIS Hydration

SiS Hydration: electrolytes for during exercise

During exercise, you lose fluids and minerals such as sodium and potassium through sweat. The Science in Sport (SiS) hydration range consists of products that you dissolve in water: sugar-free electrolyte effervescent tablets and sachets, and a sports drink powder with electrolytes and carbohydrates.

Below you can read how much sodium, other minerals and carbohydrates are in each product, so you can easily compare the products.

SiS Hydro Tablets: sugar-free effervescent tablets

The SiS Hydro Tablets are effervescent tablets that you dissolve in 500 ml of water. Each tablet contains 345 mg of sodium, 65 mg of potassium, 102 mg of calcium and 8 mg of magnesium, supplemented with vitamins B1, B2 and B6. The tablets contain no sugar. Available in flavours such as Lemon, Berry, Pink Grapefruit, Pineapple & Mango and Strawberry & Lime, and as a 6-pack of mixed flavours.

Hydro Tablets Cola + Caffeine: with 75 mg of caffeine

The Cola + Caffeine variant has the same mineral composition as the regular Hydro Tablets and also contains 75 mg of caffeine per tablet. This variant is not recommended for children and pregnant women; pay attention to your total caffeine intake throughout the day.

Hydro+ Drink Mix: electrolytes in a sachet

The SiS Hydro+ Drink Mix is a 4.1-gram powder sachet that you dissolve in 500 ml of water. Each sachet contains 350 mg of sodium, 750 mg of chloride, 300 mg of potassium, 120 mg of calcium and 56 mg of magnesium, supplemented with vitamins C, B6 and B12. The powder is not effervescent and comes in 6-packs, in the flavours Lemon, Berry and Orange Mango.

GO Electrolyte: electrolytes and carbohydrates

SiS GO Electrolyte is a sports drink powder with 36 grams of carbohydrates (maltodextrin and fructose) per 40-gram serving, supplemented with sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. Dissolved in 500 ml of water, this makes an isotonic drink. Available in Lemon, Orange and Blackcurrant.

With or without carbohydrates?

The biggest difference between the products is the amount of carbohydrates. Hydro Tablets and Hydro+ Drink Mix contain sugar-free electrolytes. GO Electrolyte contains 36 grams of carbohydrates per serving in addition to electrolytes, allowing you to drink both carbohydrates and electrolytes in one bottle.

How do you use SiS hydration products?

Dissolve one tablet or sachet in 500 ml of water, or mix 40 grams of GO Electrolyte powder with 500 ml of water. Do not use more powder than indicated. Always follow the dosage instructions on the packaging and try new products during a training session first.
