6d Sports Nutrition Hydro ORS - Electrolyte Beverage Powder - 28x6g

Electrolyte drink powder, with sweeteners

The 6d Hydro/ORS is the ideal choice for all athletes who need extra fluids and electrolytes, without the extra carbohydrates and sugars, and especially in warm and humid environments. Thanks to its neutral pH (~7.5), this drink is particularly suitable for endurance athletes as it does not attack the stomach and teeth. In fact, no acids have been added to this sports drink.

Details about the 6d Hydro/ORS

During sport, the body loses fluids and electrolytes through perspiration. An inadequate balance during (endurance) training, especially in hot and humid environments, has a negative effect on performance and can ultimately lead to muscle cramps. The 6d Hydro/ORS is a low-calorie electrolyte drink that can be used as a source of fluid and electrolytes.

The 6d Hydro, as a single dose (= 1 packet in 500 ml of water), contains only 3.7 g of carbohydrates and 450 mg of sodium per 500 ml bottle. The 6d Hydro solution is therefore the ideal sports drink to prepare for or during (endurance) training sessions where athletes want to specifically reduce their carbohydrate intake (e.g. fasting training). The 6d Hydro can also be used for shorter sports sessions of up to one hour where it is not necessary to consume carbohydrates. Thanks to its low calorie content (±15 kcal per 500 ml), 6d Hydro can also be used throughout the day to maintain an optimal fluid balance. The sodium (~salt) in 6d Hydro stimulates the feeling of thirst and improves the retention of absorbed fluids in the body.

By using a double dose (= 2 sachets in 500 ml of water), the 6d Hydro becomes a typical "Oral Rehydration Solution" (ORL or "ORS"). The 6d ORS contains 7.5 g of glucose in the form of maltodextrin and 900 mg of sodium per 500 ml bottle. The combination of sodium and glucose, together with its hypotonic solution (±210 mmol/kg), maximizes the absorption of fluids in the small intestine. This makes 6d ORS the ideal sports drink for athletes who not only sweat a lot, but also lose a lot of salts in the process. Even during a longer stay in a warm, humid environment (= tropical climate), a double dose is often recommended to maintain an optimal fluid and electrolyte balance. In addition, thanks to its high salt content, the 6d ORS is the preferred sports drink to "pre-hydrate" the body before training and to "re-hydrate" it afterwards. This is especially true after long endurance sports sessions and competitions, where considerable fluid and salt loss occurs and where large amounts of fluid need to be consumed to restore fluid balance after physical activity.
