What exactly is the Hydration Helper®?
When you sweat, you lose water and minerals. These minerals – known as electrolytes – are something your body can’t make on its own. One Hydration Helper® stick gives your body back exactly what you lose in sweat.
How does Hydraid® support your endurance?
The combination of glucose and sodium in Hydraid® activates a mechanism built into your body – the sodium-glucose co-transporter – so your body absorbs water better.¹ And a well-hydrated body can perform better. Vitamin C, B3, B5 and B12 also contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.⁵
How does Hydraid® support recovery?
A well-hydrated body recovers better. Magnesium and potassium also support your muscles in recovery.² Vitamin C, B3, B5, B12 and zinc support your immune system.⁶ Especially useful after intense sessions or during stressful periods.

Marc Tortell
“A well-hydrated body is more resilient, reacts faster and recovers more efficiently. When races come down to hundredths of a second, that can make the difference.”

Function & ingredients
Why is there sugar in Hydraid®?
To absorb water better, your body needs glucose and salts together.¹ With under 2 g sugar per 100 ml, Hydraid® still contains 60% less sugar than conventional sports drinks and stays low in calories.
How does Hydraid® improve my water absorption?
The ratio of glucose, sodium and potassium activates the sodium-glucose co-transporter – a mechanism built into your body that helps it absorb water better.¹
Is Hydraid® an isotonic drink?
No. Hydraid® isn’t isotonic – it’s slightly hypotonic, and that’s an advantage. Your body absorbs hypotonic drinks better than isotonic ones. Hypertonic drinks such as cola are the least suited to rehydration.
Is Hydraid® vegan?
Hydration Helper® and Hydration Helper® Energy are 100% vegan. Hydration Helper® Immunity is vegetarian.
Product & use
How should I drink Hydraid®?
Add one stick to 400–500 ml of cold still water and shake hard for 4–5 seconds. Done. Tip: add 2–3 ice cubes for extra refreshment.
How much Hydraid® can I drink per day?
That depends on your fluid loss – e.g. how hard you train. → Hydration Helper®: max. 5 sticks per day (approx. 2.5 L) for healthy adults. Children aged 6 and over: max. 2 sticks (approx. 1 L). Not suitable for children under 6. → Hydration Helper® Energy: max. 2 sticks per day (approx. 1 L). Not recommended for children or pregnant or breastfeeding women. → Hydration Helper® Immunity: 1 stick per day – please do not exceed this recommended daily intake.
Is Hydraid® suitable for multi-day endurance events like hikes or ultramarathons?
Hydraid® is ideal for long efforts. During events lasting several hours or days, your body loses a lot of water and electrolytes through sweat – this is exactly where Hydraid® supports your hydration during and after exertion.¹ The sticks are light, compact and fit into any trail running pack or on your bike. Good to know: on very long endurance events, your body also needs carbohydrates as fuel – this is where Hydraid® is the ideal complement to classic fuelling products such as gels or bars. ¹ Carbohydrate-electrolyte solutions enhance the absorption of water during physical exercise.
Which water works best?
Almost any still water works – mineral water, table water or straight from the tap. Just watch out with mineral waters that are very high in sodium: they can push up the electrolyte content per glass and change the taste. Our favourite: ice-cold tap water.
When should I avoid Hydraid®?
If you have a kidney, heart or liver condition, please talk to your doctor first – there may be guidelines on your fluid and electrolyte intake. Hydraid® is not suitable for children under 6. Due to its caffeine content, Hydration Helper® Energy is not recommended for children or pregnant or breastfeeding women. For healthy adults, the recommendation is max. 2 sticks per day. Hydration Helper® Immunity is not recommended for children and adolescents, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or people with known allergies to plants of the daisy family (Asteraceae).
