Sodium

800mg per sachet

The body's primary fluid-regulating electrolyte.

Sodium drives water into cells via osmosis and maintains blood plasma volume. Research shows sweat losses of 500–2,000mg of sodium per hour during exercise — the highest of any electrolyte. Pakistan's hot climate accelerates this further. At 800mg per sachet, Hydrict replaces a meaningful portion of losses without exceeding safe daily intake.

500–2,000mg/hr Sodium lost in sweat during exercise [1]

Potassium

200mg per sachet

Sodium's essential partner for cell function and muscle control.

Potassium and sodium work together through the sodium-potassium (Na⁺/K⁺) pump — one of the most energy-consuming processes in the human body. This pump maintains the electrical gradient that enables muscle contractions, nerve signals, and heart rhythm. Most people consume far less than the recommended 4,700mg/day, making dietary potassium support important. [2]

4,700mg/day NIH Recommended Daily Intake for adults [2]

Magnesium

60mg per sachet

Critical for energy, muscle relaxation, and sleep.

Magnesium is a cofactor in over 300 enzyme reactions including ATP energy synthesis — the fuel your cells run on. It regulates muscle contraction and relaxation, supports protein synthesis, and is involved in nerve transmission. Magnesium is lost through sweat, and studies show intake is commonly below recommended levels, particularly in populations relying on processed foods. [3]

Zinc

5.5mg per sachet

Immune defence and cellular repair.

Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in immune function, wound healing, and DNA synthesis. It is also lost in sweat, making active individuals at higher risk of low intake. The WHO identifies zinc deficiency as a significant public health concern across South Asia, including Pakistan. At 5.5mg, Hydrict provides ~50% of the daily recommended intake per sachet. [4]

~50%RDI Of daily zinc needs per sachet (11mg RDI for men) [4]

Why Zero Sugar?

You may have heard that sugar helps with electrolyte absorption. While glucose does activate the sodium-glucose cotransporter (SGLT1) in the gut, research confirms that plain electrolytes in water achieve effective hydration without added sugar. Sugar in drinks raises blood glucose, can cause digestive discomfort during exercise, and contributes to energy crashes. Hydrict delivers real hydration — without the spike. [5]
