The Science

Electrolytes are substances that become ions (charged molecules) in solution and gain the ability to conduct electricity. The balance of electrolytes in your body is imperative for healthy cellular physiology, especially when you’re exercising.* When you sweat, electrolytes are lost and must be replenished to maintain proper cell function.*

As such, staying hydrated is key for sustaining athletic performance and helping you push through your workouts. Clean Hydration contains an evidence-based blend of essential minerals and electrolytes that support cellular hydration and fluid balance.* Here’s how these unique micronutrients work:

How the Ingredients in Clean Hydration Work

Calcium (as Dicalcium Phosphate and Calcium D-Glucarate)

Calcium is key for healthy muscular contraction, cell signaling, cell division, and bone density.*1 Clean Hydration contains highly bioavailable calcium from dicalcium phosphate and calcium D-glucarate for supporting healthy calcium status.*

Phosphorus (as Dicalcium Phosphate)

Phosphorus has ubiquitous roles throughout the human body, acting as a component of phosphate. Phosphorus works synergistically with calcium to support bone density and muscular contraction, as well as being a crucial substrate for energy (ATP) production.*2

TRAACSTM Magnesium (Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate)

Magnesium is one of the most lacking minerals in the modern human diet, yet it’s also one of the most important for healthy and efficient muscle contraction, cardiovascular function, neurotransmission, digestion, and healthy fluid balance.*3 With magnesium, the key is to supplement with a form that’s well-absorbed, which is why Clean Hydration contains highly bioavailable TRAACSTM patented magnesium bisglycinate chelate.

Sodium (as Trisodium Citrate and Sodium Chloride)

Sodium is the primary positive ion (cation) present in the fluid outside of cells. It modulates the amount of water in the body, and the movement of sodium into and out of cells is essential for proper cell-to-cell signaling.

Potassium (Potassium Chloride and Potassium Aspartate)

Potassium is the primary positive ion (cation) present inside of cells. Along with sodium, potassium is essential for cell-to-cell signaling and is also an important substrate for skeletal muscle contraction.

Chromium (as Chromium Picolinate)

Chromium is an essential trace mineral that has been shown to promote proper carbohydrate metabolism, support healthy serotonin levels, and even regulate cortisol levels (which tend to increase during exercise).*4,5 In so doing, chromium can help support energy production and mood during physical activity.* Many dietary supplements rely on inferior forms of chromium which are not well-absorbed, such as chromium chloride. Clean Hydration contains chromium picolinate as this form is highly bioavailable.6

Hydrating Vitamin Complex

In addition to minerals and electrolytes, Clean Hydration contains a comprehensive profile of bioavailable B vitamins, vitamin C, and vitamin E. These vitamins work complementary to minerals and electrolytes in Clean Hydrationto support healthy cellular function and maintain antioxidant status.* Research suggests that antioxidant vitamins help mitigate exercise-induced oxidative stress, thereby promoting athletic performance and endurance.*7

Taurine and L-Carnosine

Taurine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid with research demonstrating that it supports athletic performance (especially at high intensity) and may attenuate exercise-induced oxidative stress.*8 This amino acid is unique in that it’s not abundant in foods, meaning you must supplement with it to reach effective doses.

Clean Hydration also contains carnosine—a dipeptide that appears to play an integral role in muscle contraction and high-intensity exercise, with research suggesting it acts as a “buffer” and may reduce fatigue associated with lactic acid buildup.*9 Carnosine also has been shown to have antioxidant properties throughout the body (antioxidants protect against oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals).10

Why Use Clean Hydration?

Clean Hydration is meticulously crafted with electrolytes and nutrients that support fluid balance while you exercise and partake in physical activity.* Optimal hydration is a crucial component of athletic performance and endurance. Plus, this formula is free from added sugars, artificial colors, and unnecessary additives that can detract from your health and performance.
