Hydralyte® and Hydralyte® Sports are both clinical products. The difference is that Hydralyte® Sports is specifically formulated for sport and exercise. The Hydralyte® Sports formulation is low in sugar (2%) and high in electrolytes. It differs from Hydralyte®, as it contains 6 additional trace elements which are lost in sweat during sport and exercise – magnesium, calcium, zinc, iron, manganese, and copper.
Rapid hydration is best achieved by a hypotonic solution that is low in carbohydrates (2–3%) and high in electrolytes (such as sodium). Based on our review of literature and expert opinion, we believe that hypotonic hydration solutions are superior for water uptake and stomach comfort.
Hydralyte® Sports differs from standard sports drinks as it is high in electrolytes (such as sodium and potassium) and low in sugar (2%). Standards sports drinks are generally high in sugar (6–8%). Hydralyte® Sports also includes additional elements magnesium, calcium, zinc, iron, manganese and copper, lost through sweat during sport and exercise.
