Hydro Formula

During endurance exercise, you lose fluids and electrolytes through sweat. This disrupts your fluid and salt balance and leads to a drop in performance. Pro Elite Hydro sticks provide a low-calorie blend of essential salts, minerals and electrolytes to help maintain optimal hydration and electrolyte balance.

O.R.S. Formula

With a double dose (2 sticks in 500 ml of water or Pro Isotonic), you create an Oral Rehydration Solution (O.R.S.). This concentration provides 7.5 g of glucose (from maltodextrin) and 900 mg of sodium. The combination of glucose and sodium in a hypotonic solution maximizes fluid absorption in the small intestine, making it ideal for athletes who sweat heavily.

Why hydration is Crucial

An imbalanced fluid balance can reduce carbohydrate absorption by 40 to 60 percent, leading to cramps and loss of strength. To avoid this, endurance athletes need an isotonic drink. An isotonic formula delivers the right balance of carbohydrates, fluids, salts and minerals. Pro Isotonic combines these in optimal amounts, helping maintain fluid balance and efficiently convert carbohydrates into usable energy and power.

How to use

Kristof: Add 1 Hydro stick or 2 O.R.S. sticks to Neapharma Pro Isotonic in warm conditions or when sweat loss is high. The composition is specifically designed to work seamlessly with the formula of Neapharma Pro Isotonic.

These sticks have a ratio of minerals and electrolytes that we have tested extensively over the last 3 years. This composition demonstrates a noticeably quick and complete absorption. Therefore, often, one stick is sufficient, and there is no need to use two (ORS). That says it all.

Pro tip: You can use Hydro before, during and after your workout. Before, it helps build up your hydration buffer. During exercise, it supports performance. Afterward, it helps speed up recovery and conditioning.

Personalise your drink!

Every single body is different, just like every challenge. For a one-hour ride, there’s no need to overthink things. In most cases, Pro Isotonic on its own is more than enough. But for longer or harder efforts, correctly personalizing your sports nutrition can deliver up to 40% more usable energy and endurance. Here’s how.

1. Build your base

Use Pro Isotonic as your foundation. If you sweat more than usual due to heat, high sweat rates or indoor training, add 1 to 2 Hydro Sticks. With 2 Hydro Sticks, you reach an optimal balance of minerals and salts to support hydration. This is known as O.R.S. (oral rehydration solution).

2. Increase energy when needed

Add Pro Elite Carb Max sticks to your Pro Isotonic when energy demands rise. With five different carbohydrates, you turn your isotonic drink into a hypertonic mix delivering up to 100 g of carbohydrates per bottle.

3. Personalize your fuel plan

Based on your energy output, temperature, sweat profile and other factors, you can fine-tune both hydration and carbohydrate intake using our free Fuel Plan App.
