MARCHON™ Performance Hydration Electrolyte Powder is designed specifically to provide the body with the fluids, electrolytes, and nutrients it needs to maintain performance during intense exercise.
Replenishes the essential electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium)
The ideal time to take performance hydration is in the 30 minutes pre training session. The reason for this is to ensure you are not starting your session dehydrated which can harm your training.
If your training session has been extremely sweaty then you may want to take it post training.
You can also take the product first thing in the morning to help improve overall hydration.
How long until I see benefits?
The benefits of proper hydration can be seen relatively quickly. Here are some key points about the timeline for seeing benefits from performance hydration:
Immediate effects: Proper hydration can have almost immediate effects on performance. Even mild dehydration (1-2% of body weight) can negatively impact athletic performance, so maintaining hydration levels can provide immediate benefits .
During exercise: Consuming fluids during exercise can help maintain performance throughout the activity. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends drinking 4-8 ounces of cold fluid every 15-20 minutes during exercise.
Recovery: Proper hydration aids in recovery after exercise. Consuming fluids post-exercise can help replenish lost fluids and electrolytes, potentially improving recovery time.
Long-term benefits: Consistent proper hydration practices over time can lead to improved overall performance and reduced risk of heat-related illnesses.
Individual variation: The time to see benefits can vary based on factors such as sweat rate, exercise intensity, and environmental conditions.
How to take
Mix one scoop with 500ml of water. It can be stacked with other products such as workout fuel, creatine or beta-alanine.
Common mistakes people make
Regarding electrolyte supplementation and hydration in general, here are some common mistakes people make.
Relying solely on thirst as an indicator of hydration needs. People may wait until they feel thirsty to drink, but thirst is not an accurate indicator of hydration status. By the time you feel thirsty, you may already be dehydrated.
Following a one-size-fits-all approach. Hydration needs are highly individual and depend on factors like body size, sweat rate, exercise intensity, and environmental conditions. Copying someone else's hydration strategy may not work for you.
Neglecting electrolyte replacement. Focusing only on water intake without considering electrolyte loss can lead to imbalances. Electrolytes, especially sodium, are crucial for proper hydration and muscle function.
Overhydrating. Drinking too much water without adequate electrolyte replacement can lead to hyponatremia, a potentially dangerous condition where blood sodium levels become too diluted.
Ignoring hydration outside of exercise. Proper hydration is important throughout the day, not just during workouts. Chronic dehydration is a common issue that can occur in daily life.
Not adjusting hydration strategies for different conditions. Failing to account for changes in temperature, humidity, or exercise intensity when planning hydration can lead to suboptimal performance.
Benefits
Our Performance Hydration Electrolyte Powder was created to optimise your performance over time throughout any intense workout. Its use provides the following benefits for your body. It replenishes electrolytes: sodium, potassium and magnesium, which are lost through sweating in workouts.
It supports optimal muscle function. Potassium and magnesium aid in proper muscle function, reducing the risk of cramps and supporting muscle performance during exercise.
Alleviates Fatigue: Dehydration and electrolyte imbalances may lead to fatigue. Having a proper electrolyte balance may help combat these effects, helping you to feel more energised.
