Hydra-Charge Electrolyte Drink Mix, <1g Sugar

Q: Who is Hydra-Charge for?

Anyone replacing the electrolytes lost in sweat and daily life. Lifters, runners, and all athletes drink Hydra-Charge around training and for recovery. People with long shifts and full days at a desk drink it for daily hydration. At 115mg of sodium and less than 1g of sugar per scoop, it's built to be a drink you have every day rather than one you save for race day.

Q: Is Hydra-Charge the same as Kaged Hydration?

Yes. Hydra-Charge was sold as Kaged Hydration for a few years, and it's now back under its original name. If you've been buying Kaged Hydration, or know us from our Kaged Muscle days, this is the product you're looking for.

Q: What Is Hydra-Charge Sweetened With?

Hydra-Charge is sweetened with a blend of sucralose and stevia. That's how it tastes like a full-sugar drink with less than 1g of sugar and 5 calories per scoop. If you prefer cane sugar and stevia, try Hydra-Charge Sucralose-Free.

Q: What flavors does Hydra-Charge come in?

Hydra-Charge comes in 12 flavors: Apple Limeade, Blue Raspberry, Fruit Punch, Glacier Grape, Hibiscus Pear, Lemon Lime, Orange Mango, Piña Colada, Pink Lemonade, Red Raspberry, Strawberry Yuzu, and Watermelon. Not every flavor comes in every size. You can get Hydra-Charge in 60- and 30-serving tubs, or in single-serve sticks for travel. There's no unflavored version, because Hydra-Charge is built to flavor Kaged's unflavored products, like Creatine and Glutamine.

Q: How many calories and how much sugar are in Hydra-Charge?

Each scoop of Hydra-Charge has 5 calories and less than 1g of sugar.

Q: Is 115mg of sodium in Hydra-Charge enough?

For daily use, yes. High-sodium packets at 500 to 1,000mg are built for marathons and full days in the heat. The average American already consumes 3,400mg of sodium a day against a 2,300mg recommendation, so we dosed Hydra-Charge for hydration you can drink all day without overloading on sodium. On long sessions or hot days, a second scoop takes you to 230mg, still a fraction of a high-sodium packet.

Q: Does Hydra-Charge Have Caffeine In It?

Hydra-Charge is stimulant-free, but it contains trace amounts of caffeine from the SPECTRA™ antioxidant blend, capped at 1.2mg per serving. For reference, the average cup of coffee has over 100mg, and a cup of decaf has around 2mg. The amount is so low that even caffeine-sensitive people don't typically feel any stimulant effects.

Q: Can I drink Hydra-Charge every day?

Yes, Hydra-Charge was built for daily use: morning, midday, during training, on a flight. It's stimulant-free, so it won't interfere with sleep or stack badly with your other supplements.

Hydra-Charge - 60SV

Hydrate smarter, not saltier

The right dose of sodium for all-day, not just race day. The average adult consumes 3400mg a day. The recommended limit is 2300mg. (USDA Dietary Guidelines)

And sweat costs you more than water and sodium. Every scoop of Hydra-Charge puts back all five key electrolytes, plus 1g of taurine, coconut water powder, and 100mg of SPECTRA™, with less than 1g of sugar and 5 calories.*

You may know it as Kaged Hydration, the name it carried for a few years. Same product, back under its original name.

Who this is for

Built for lifters, runners, and hybrid athletes who need to replace what they sweat out - and it works just as well on long shifts, full days at the desk, and busy parenting days.

Hydration is the foundation under your training and everything around it. Take Hydra-Charge with you any time you want more than just water. It's also for anyone who gave up on electrolyte drinks because of what came with them: nearly three teaspoons of sugar, or a salt load built for a marathon, not a Tuesday.

Key Ingredients

5 key electrolytes, not just 3.

Your body doesn't run on salt alone. It runs on a full spectrum of electrolytes, and many hydration powders give you a fraction of them. Here's what's in every scoop and why.

Sodium

115MG

Sodium is the primary electrolyte lost in sweat, and our “goldilocks” dose helps replenish what you lose to support nerve, muscle, and fluid balance without overdoing it.

Potassium

140MG

Potassium works in balance with sodium to regulate fluids and support muscle contractions–an essential electrolyte for staying properly hydrated.

Magnesium

15MG

Magnesium is one of the body's most essential minerals, supporting everything from bone health and DNA synthesis to better sleep and peak performance.

Calcium

37MG

Calcium goes beyond just strong bones; it's essential for muscle function and nerve signaling, and since it's lost through sweat, replenishing it is key to staying at your best.

Phosphorus

37MG

Phosphorus is an often-overlooked electrolyte that's essential for bone health, muscle contraction, nerve function, and DNA synthesis, making it a key addition to any serious hydration formula.

Performance Actives

Taurine

Taurine is an amino acid that supports cellular hydration and helps your body actually utilize the electrolytes you're taking in, making every other ingredient in this formula work harder.

1,000MG

Coconut Fruit Water Powder

One of nature’s superfoods, we use freeze-dried coconut water powder made with a low-temperature dehydration process.

500MG

Spectra™ Antioxidant Blend

Spectra™ is a premium blend of 29 fruit, vegetable, and herbal extracts designed to deliver powerful antioxidant support for your overall health.

100MG

Why Ours Works Better

The difference is balance.

Five key electrolytes

Sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium, to help replenish all the key electrolytes you lose.

Sodium dosed for every day

115mg per scoop, not 500mg or 1,000mg. Replace what you sweat without adding excess.

Less than 1g of sugar

5 calories a scoop. No sugar rush dressed up as hydration.

Additional health and performance support

1g of taurine, 500mg of coconut water powder, and SPECTRA™ antioxidants from 29 plant extracts.*

Informed Sport certified

Every batch is tested for hundreds of banned substances and heavy metals.

The Protocol

How to take it

01. One scoop, 10 to 14 oz of cold water
Shake for 10 seconds. Use more or less water to find your ideal sweetness.

02. Before, during, or after training
Replace the electrolytes you lose in sweat and support recovery. On rest days, drink it anytime for all-day hydration.*

Q&A

Omg I'm waiting for a pineapple flavor or some new flavors. I absolutely love your product. I take a scoop every single day.: We're thrilled to hear that you're such a fan of our product and that it's become a staple in your daily routine! Your enthusiasm is truly appreciated. We're always looking for ways to innovate and expand our flavor options, so thank you for suggesting pineapple flavor!

Does this contain caffeine?: The caffeine amount in Hydra-Charge is capped at a max of 1.2 mg per serving, an amount so low that even caffeine sensitive individuals wouldn't feel any stimulant effects.
I would like to know what the Bio Engineered food ingredient is in the Orange Mango flavor 😟: The bio-engineered ingredient in Hydra-Charge Orange mango is a flavoring material: Natural tangerine flavor. It is just used for flavor, but the part of it that is bio-engineered is the starch used to spray dry the actual flavor liquid so that the powder does not clump. This is the only product this flavor is used in. Good news, though! This product will be undergoing a reformulation to remove this ingredient, which should be completed in the coming months.
What is the source/type of magnesium (glycinate, malate)?: The Magnesium form in Hydra-Charge is Magnesium Citrate. Thank you!
If I have more water then recommends should I add another scoop for water to powder ratio or would it still be one scoop?: If you increase the water beyond the recommended amount, it's generally best to maintain the original water-to-powder ratio with one scoop. Adding extra water might make the taste too diluted. Feel free to adjust to your preference and enjoy! 🥤👍
Will it break my fast? I'm drinking this during my fast to keep myself hydrated. Will it break my fast?: Indeed, the impact on fasting can vary based on individual preferences and goals. From a strict standpoint, even small calorie intake can disrupt fasting. It's essential to align your choices with your fasting objectives and personal comfort level.
Is healthy for kids to have: We recommend consulting with your physician regarding the appropriateness of our products for children, as they are primarily designed for adults.
I see that it is recommended to take 1-2 a day. Is it ok to have 2 servings at once or should they be split throughout the day?: Mix 1 scoop of Hydra-Charge® in 10-14 ounces of water. It’s perfect on its own or with other Kaged supplements. Use it as your base in a custom stack suited to your goals.
The quantity of electorlytes (as a % of DV) seems low compared to other electrolytes in the market. Does this product offer enough electrolytes required during an sweaty workout?: Thanks for your question! Hydra-Charge offers unique benefits compared to LiquidIV. Here's why it might be a better choice: 1. **Magnesium Inclusion:** Unlike LiquidIV, Hydra-Charge includes magnesium, essential for hydration, overall health, and sleep. 2. **All-Day Use:** Hydra-Charge is designed for consumption throughout the day, not just post-workout. It contains all 5 electrolytes, taurine, coconut water powder, and antioxidants, without LiquidIV's high sugar content. 3. **Low Sugar:** Hydra-Charge has less than 1g of sugar, making it a better choice for those mindful of their sugar intake. 4. **Additional Benefits:** Hydra-Charge also provides 1g of taurine for cellular hydration, coconut water powder, and a blend of 29 antioxidants. Hope this helps you make an informed choice for your hydration needs! 🥤💧
Why is Kaged not recommended for kids under the age of 18, and what are the side effects of having Kaged under the age of 18?: Kaged products are not recommended for kids under 18 due to their high potency and intended use for adult athletes. Side effects in younger individuals can include sensitivity to certain ingredients and potential health risks. It's best for young individuals to consult with a healthcare professional before considering such supplements. Safety first! 👍🚸
Is this Keto ?: Yes, this is keto
Is there caffeine in this? If so, how much? The nutritional facts do no list caffeine. However, the ORAC blend contains coffee extract. Thanks!: The caffeine amount in Hydra-Charge is capped at a max of 1.2 mg per serving, an amount so low that even caffeine sensitive individuals wouldn't feel any stimulant effects.
When should this be taken? right before your workout or during? Some other time?: Hydra-Charge is suitable for consumption at any time.
What happened to the watermelon flavor and is the version with 200mg of caffeine discontinued?: This product has been discontinued.
What is the recommended amount of water per scoop?: Hey! Hydra-Charge should be taken as one scoop in 10-14 ounces of cold water.
