Maybe not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In day-to-day situations, water is an ideal hydrator, but when you\u2019re exerting yourself, factors such as fluid imbalance and<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">electrolyte<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> loss \u2014 which can lead to reduced performance, cramps, and other issues \u2014 come into play. That\u2019s why Beachbody Performance Hydrate aims to take any loss out of the equation and help maximize fluid absorption.*<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe idea of Hydrate is to optimize fluid absorption and fluid balance during exercise,\u201d says Nima Alamdari, PhD. \u201cAnd optimizing fluid balance is important because we know it has a direct correlation to performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>The Science Behind Beachbody Performance Hydrate<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<h3>Fluid balance<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason why Beachbody Performance Hydrate is so effective is because of a physiological phenomenon known as osmolality. <\/span>Osmolality <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">refers to the amount of dissolved substances, or solutes, in a liquid and how that affects the rate at which a solution is absorbed by the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are three basic types of sports drinks \u2014 hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic \u2014 all distinguished by a varying levels of osmolality:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Hypertonic<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> drinks have a higher osmolality than your blood.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Isotonic<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> drinks have the same osmolality as your blood.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Hypotonic<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> drinks have a lower osmolality than your blood.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The osmolality of a hydration drink is important because liquids with a lower concentration of particles will cross the membrane to where the higher concentration is in order to create fluid balance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why does this matter when it comes to hydration drinks? A hypotonic drink, like Beachbody Performance Hydrate, will enter your bloodstream more quickly than an isotonic or hypertonic drink.*<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Electrolyte replacement<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Electrolytes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are minerals that carry an electric charge and play a key role in important bodily processes, such as muscle contraction, nerve function, and your circulatory system. So when you lose fluids and several key electrolytes through sweat during exercise, you\u2019re at risk for cramps, fatigue, dizziness, and lack of focus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, any old ready-to-drink hydration beverage might not cut it \u2014 most of them usually include just two electrolytes: sodium and potassium. That\u2019s why Beachbody Performance Hydrate includes an optimal balance of four critical electrolytes: sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a greater variety of electrolytes than some of the top electrolyte drinks on the market, Beachbody Performance Hydrate can help you replenish what\u2019s lost through sweat quickly and efficiently to keep you performing at your best.*<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Quercetin<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally,<\/span> <strong>Hydrate<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> stands apart because it contains<\/span> <strong>quercetin<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a<\/span> <strong>phytonutrient<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> researched for its capacity to help improve exercise performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe included quercetin because it\u2019s the most researched phytonutrient for improving exercise performance,\u201d Alamdari says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quercetin is believed to work both acutely and chronically, meaning you should experience benefits on the day of as well as through long-term use. The acute benefit works well here because the longer you exercise, the more<\/span> <strong>Hydrate<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you drink. And the more<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hydrate<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you drink, the more quercetin you consume to continue pushing performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means it also works cumulatively with<\/span> <strong>Energize<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Beachbody Performance<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> pre-workout supplement. \u201cIt complements Energize but it also has its own distinct benefits,\u201d Alamdari explains. \u201cWe didn\u2019t just want the most effective hydrator; we want to be the most effective performance-enhancer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intense exercise can take a lot out of you \u2014 literally. Not only do you lose water and electrolytes as you sweat, but you also burn through carbs (in the form of glucose and glycogen) as your body\u2019s demand for energy increases.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beachbody Performance Hydrate<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> helps replace those losses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And as Dr. Marcus Elliot, founder of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Peak<\/strong> <strong>Performance<\/strong> <strong>Project<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (P3) explains in the video below, the result is a greater capacity for high-intensity work. In short, Hydrate can help improve both your endurance and exercise performance.*<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"http:\/\/players.brightcove.net\/1634697872\/SJeKARb7p_default\/index.html?videoId=5703336217001\" width=\"600\" height=\"343\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Why Beachbody Performance Hydrate Works Better Than Other Drinks<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditional sports drinks on the market emphasize energy replenishment and lean more toward carbohydrates as fuel as the primary driver for performance enhancement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That, in turn, creates a hypertonic drink with a higher osmolality that the body will absorb more slowly. They are essentially trying to create a product that provides both energy and hydration, but the solution can lose effectiveness. While it supplies sugar for fuel, the osmolality may be too high to efficiently mitigate fluid loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHigh-sugar sports drinks are not optimal for hydration. The carbohydrate level is too high,\u201d Alamdari says. \u201cThat can lead to delayed gastric emptying. It can sit in your stomach. Ultra-endurance athletes or marathon runners will often talk about stomach \u2018sloshing\u2019 or [gastrointestinal] distress.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Beachbody Performance<\/strong> <strong>Hydrate<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s citrus flavor has also been formulated to lessen flavor fatigue \u2014 a common occurrence in endurance athletes, who sometimes lose tolerance for the taste of their during-event supplements after hours of consuming them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHydrate was formulated with a balanced, not overwhelming flavor or sweetness,\u201d says Denis Faye, M.S., and an ultra-endurance cyclist. \u201cI can tell you firsthand that when you\u2019re eight hours into an event and your sports drink starts tasting like ash, it\u2019s a problem.
