SPONSER Hydration Preloader - Electrolyte Carbohydrate Beverage Powder - 364g

A flavorless beverage powder containing waxy corn starch, sodium, glycine, and L-citrulline. Dietary supplement.

SPONSER Hydration Preloader is a specially developed pre-performance beverage designed to help you prepare for competitions, events in hot weather, and long training sessions. The beverage provides electrolytes, particularly sodium, combined with carbohydrates and L-citrulline—ideal for preparing the body for high levels of sweat loss.

Highlights of SPONSER Hydration Preloader

• Targeted preparation for competitions, events in hot weather, and long training sessions of varying lengths
• With 1,000 mg of sodium per serving to support water retention 
• Contains 20 g of carbohydrates, providing a defined, small energy boost before competition
• Enriched with L-citrulline, a non-essential amino acid that serves as a precursor to L-arginine in the body and plays a role in NO metabolism

What is plasma volume, and how do athletes benefit from it?

Plasma volume is the liquid component of blood (approx. 55%), which consists mainly of water, proteins, and electrolytes. Endurance sports increase plasma volume, which boosts cardiovascular performance, improves thermoregulation, and enhances oxygen transport. Since water is a substantial component of blood plasma, plasma volume depends on nutrients and elements—such as sodium—that have a high water-binding capacity.

What are the specific benefits of an increase in plasma volume?

• Higher performance: The size of the plasma volume leads to a greater total blood volume. This increases the heart’s stroke volume and improves VO2max.
• Better cooling (thermoregulation): Those with a larger plasma volume ultimately have more water available for thermoregulation. This means that when we overheat, we can direct more blood to the skin to cool the body.
• Improved endurance performance: When we’re dehydrated, our blood becomes thicker over time. In this case, the heart has to work harder to compensate for the increased viscosity. If we stay with a goal to increase plasma volume, the blood remains thinner, and the heart doesn’t have to beat as frequently.
• Well-prepared at the start: A higher initial fluid volume, combined with sports drinks during exercise, can compensate for sweat loss during physical activity.

Directions

28 g (5 scoops) in 500 ml of water. Take approximately 60–90 minutes before a competition in hot conditions. Drink in sips.

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake (28 g). Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of the range of small kids. Store in a cool, dry place.
