The human body is roughly 60% water, so hydration is crucial for everything you do daily, especially exercise. Without enough hydration, your body lacks the water levels necessary to function optimally, this is called dehydration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is proper or optimal hydration?\u003cbr\u003eAthletes should generally be supplementing water with electrolytes both DURING activity as well as throughout the day. Good hydration is always important, but particularly in the days and weeks before an event or after a hard workout. Use GU Hydration Drink Tabs whenever, wherever, and you'll see a boost in preparation, sustenance, as well as recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow do hydration tabs work?\u003cbr\u003eThey provide a good balance of fluids and electrolytes. Fluids from water combined with the key electrolyte sodium in our Hydration Drink Tabs help your body hold onto hydration. If you drink water alone, the body will expel it quickly. If you drink water with sodium, the water will hang around longer in your body to help keep you hydrated and prevent dehydration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy does GU focus primarily on sodium?\u003cbr\u003eSodium is the primary electrolyte lost in sweat and crucial to replace during exercise to help avoid dehydration, and a more serious low blood sodium condition known as hyponatremia. Hyponatremia can be life-threatening, and athletes are at a greater risk of developing it either by drinking too much plain water, or by losing too much sodium through sweat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy and when should you use GU Hydration products?\u003cbr\u003eDuring exercise, you sweat. When you sweat, you lose both fluids (water) and electrolytes (mostly sodium). Inadequate hydration negatively affects performance and can lead to dehydration, or more serious conditions such as hyponatremia. You need to stay on top of hydration during your workout to perform and feel your best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is the sweetener in hydration drink tabs?\u003cbr\u003eOrganic Stevia, an all-natural plant-based sweetener from the botanical world, and cane sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan I consume too many electrolytes?\u003cbr\u003eYes, you can consume too much sodium and potassium and that can be dangerous, but it would take a lot sodium and potassium to reach dangerous levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow do I use hydration drink tabs?\u003cbr\u003eDrop. Fizz. Drink. Drop one tablet in a 16oz serving of water, wait for the fizz and enjoy hydration bliss. Rule of thumb: Drink 16-30oz of water every hour during exercise, whether it’s training or racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow many electrolytes are in a serving of hydration drink tabs?\u003cbr\u003eEach serving of Hydration Drink Tabs contains 320mg of Sodium and 55mg of Potassium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow many calories are in a serving?\u003cbr\u003e10 calories per serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre hydration drink tabs safe for children?\u003cbr\u003eYes!
