Hydration tablets

Hydration Tablets are an effervescent tablet that dissolves in water, they effectively replace the electrolytes you lose through sweat. Just drop one into your bottle and our scientific formula will do the rest! Each tablet contains:

  • Chloride: 269mg
  • Sodium: 345mg

  • Magnesium: 8.1mg
  • Calcium: 102mg

USEAGE:

  1. Dissolve one hydro tablet in 500ml of water and consume 3-4 hours prior to your sporting event. Then consume a further 250-500ml in the hour before starting. During shorter exercise, where carbohydrate intake is not necessary, consume 500ml of hydro per hour. Once prepared consume within 24 hours and do not consume more than 4 tablets per day.

GO Energy 

Our GO Energy powder is an easily digestible, quick supply of carbohydrate for energy. It’s designed to be versatile and can be mixed at various concentrations to suit your needs. 1 serving provides 47g of carbohydrate.

GO Electrolyte

Similarly, to the GO Energy powder, GO Electrolyte supplies easily digestible carbohydrates however GO Electrolyte contains optimal amounts of electrolytes. This combination of energy sources and electrolytes enhance our ability to absorb water during exercise, maintain performance and aid in preventing cramp.

GO Electrolyte is 36g of carbohydrate as a 6% solution mixed with sodium (20 mmol/L) to achieve the combined aims of energy and hydration. 

USEAGE:

  1. We recommend consuming 40g (2 scoops) with 500ml of water every 45-60 min of exercise.

The Beta Fuel powder is our scientifically superior fuelling option designed for endurance providing high carbohydrate in an easily digestible formula. With an optimised ratio of Maltodextrin to Fructose (1:0.8), Beta Fuel provides 80g of carbohydrate in a single convenient isotonic formula with minimal risk of GI discomfort to maintain optimal performance.

USEAGE:

  1. One Sachet of Beta Fuel contains 80g of carbohydrate, we recommend mixing this with 600ml of water. Sip little and often during prolonged exercise.
