Used by elite athletes like 3 time Cycling World Champion, Peter Sagan, Osmo Active Hydration is a during-exercise hydration drink developed by pioneering scientist Dr. Stacy Sims. Osmo Active Hydration has been developed to optimize hydration, using sucrose and glucose with sodium. This sugar and sodium combination has been shown to maximize fluid absorption. OSMO Active Hydration has a lower carbohydrate percentage (3.5% compared to most drinks at 6-8%), which keeps the osmolality low for faster emptying of the gut and greater fluid absorption. Having fluid that actually reaches the blood allows for a slower core temperature rise, and the ability to maintain blood-flow to the muscles. It is important to remember that when you feel thirsty, you are already 2% dehydrated, which equates to a decline of up to 11% max power. Osmo Active Hydration also has higher sodium content per serving; this is to improve the balance between water, sodium and other electrolytes across all vascular spaces during exercise, thus helping to reduce hypo- or hypernatremia.
