Yes! Gnarly Hydrate is a great option for active kids because it’s low in sugar, free of artificial colors and flavors and it tastes great!

Taking in the right amount of water will get you halfway to properly hydrating, but if that is all you do, then your performance will suffer and you could seriously injure yourself. The other half of the equation involves replenishing the electrolytes lost in sweat. Although sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium are all lost in sweat, sodium is, by far, lost in the greatest concentrations, with losses ranging from 200-700mg per 16 oz of sweat.

By choosing a hydration beverage that contains electrolytes at effective levels, you ensure you’re giving your body both the water and electrolytes it needs to perform optimally while preventing cramping and dehydration.

Gnarly Hydrate is free of wheat, gluten, soy, dairy and nuts.

The amount of Gnarly Hydrate you should consume is dependent on the duration, intensity and type of activity you are doing and is largely determined by how much you sweat.  You can determine approximately how much you sweat by doing a hydration test.

On average, aim to drink 16-20 oz of Gnarly Hydrate/hour when training hard.

The shelf life of Gnarly Hydrate is 2 years.

Gnarly Hydrate includes sugar for two primary reasons 1) Sugar, along with sodium, helps facilitate the transport of water into the body, and 2) Sugar is also an important fuel for muscles during exercise.  Gnarly Hydrate doesn’t include enough sugar to be your primary fuel (so make sure you are consuming calories from another source), but it does contain enough sugar to effectively hydrate your body.

We are phasing out our scoops, beginning with Hydrate in May 2024(Orange Pineapple to follow in June/July). The remainder of our products will be scoopless by 2025. If you get a scoop, hang on to it. 

Losing the scoops will save an estimated 28,000lbs (that’s a freight ship with Rocky Balboa as the Captain) of plastic per year. It’s a no brainer for our beloved Earth.

Now don’t just start pouring powder into your drinks willy-nilly. Have a regular spoon laying around? Good. Here’s the kitchen equivalent:

1 scoop with 12-16 oz of liquid, or 2 tsp. (10 grams) with 12-16 oz of liquid. 2 sccops with 24-32 oz of liquid, or 4 tsp. (20 grams) with 24-32 oz of liquid.
