What Makes Trainade Better Than the Rest?

The most common response I get from my clients who try Trainade Hydration for the first time is “wow, I feel the difference almost immediately.” This feedback is great because it means the product is doing exactly what it is meant to do; hydrate your body very quickly. The way that it does that is due to some really cool science. 

Trainade Hydration is what we call a Hypotonic Oral Rehydration Solution. All this means is that the combination of the ingredients inside two scoops of Trainade mixed with 500ml of water is a concentration that is slightly less salty than the blood. 

This may not seem like an important feature but it is what makes all the difference. The specific number is 265mmol/L. This was chosen because the concentration of the blood is 295mmol/L. This difference creates a ‘concentration gradient’ which move the fluid from the low concentration area (the fluid in Trainade Hydration) to the area of high concentration (the blood). 

This means when you drink Trainade, you rapidly move fluid from our belly into our body and this is why you feel so good. But there is one more little detail that is worth bragging about, and that is the glucose content. 

Glucose is a simple sugar that is hugely important for hydration but it is also important for getting Trainade from our stomach into our intestine where it is absorbed very quickly. At the end of the day, the quicker you get something out of your stomach and into your small intestine, the faster it absorbs into the body. 

Trainade has a glucose concentration of 1.5% which is about 1-1.5% lower than most traditional electrolyte drinks, meaning that is has a slightly lower sugar concentration, but just high enough to rapidly move your drink out of your tummy and into your intestine.

This combined with the above-mentioned concentration makes for a formula that rapidly moves fluid from your water bottle into your body to make you hydrated and feeling great fast! Why doesn’t everyone do this? Well to put it simply, they never had to!

We developed Trainade Hydration alongside world-leading hydration researcher Dr Lewis James, to help our elite level fighters rehydrate as fast as possible after their weigh-ins. This was to ensure we could rehydrate and use every hour possible to refuel them to get them ready for their world title fights. We don’t have room to make any mistakes and every second counted. 

That’s why we put in the time and effort to find out what would make our drink the fastest and this is how we landed on the formula for Trainade Hydration. So next time you enjoy a sip of Trainade, know that you are not only drinking a delicious all natural electrolyte, you’re drinking the latest in rapid hydration science.
