Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rydrate?
RYDRATE is a Quebec-based brand specializing in electrolyte-rich sports hydration drinks. Our products are designed to support athletes in their training and competitions, whether it's running, trail running, marathons, triathlons, cycling, or high-intensity sports. Our mission: to offer effective, simple, and locally sourced hydration to improve performance and recovery.
Why are electrolytes important?
Electrolytesâparticularly sodium, potassium, and magnesiumâplay a vital role in fluid balance, nerve transmission, and muscle contraction. During prolonged exertion (running, cycling, trail running, triathlon), significant amounts of these minerals are lost through sweat. Replenishing them quickly allows for:
- to prevent dehydration,
- to avoid cramps,
- to maintain performance and concentration.
RYD-01 offers a high sodium content to meet the real needs of endurance athletes.
What is the difference between your products?
- RYD-01 : High sodium electrolyte formula, ideal for rapid hydration during endurance training or competitions.
- RYD-02 : Electrolytes + slow and fast release carbohydrates, designed for long outings such as marathons, ultras and long hikes.
- RYD-03 : Electrolytes + carbohydrates + caffeine + nootropics, for intense efforts or competitions where focus and energy are essential.
When to consume RYDRATE depending on the sport practiced?
Before exertion : to start well, stay hydrated and avoid a drop in performance.
During exertion : to compensate for the loss of minerals and energy over long distances.
After exertion : to promote optimal recovery.
For example :
- RYD-01 is ideal before and during a running or cycling session.
- RYD-02 is the perfect companion for a marathon or an outing of 2 hours or more.
- RYD-03 is taken before an intense race or triathlon for an energy boost.
Is it suitable for running, half-marathons and marathons?
Yes! Road and long-distance runners lose a significant amount of sodium and water through sweat. RYDRATE helps maintain electrolyte balance, prevent cramps, and improve endurance. Our RYD-01 and RYD-02 formulas are especially popular among marathon runners due to their high sodium content and rapid absorption.
Is it suitable for trail running, ultra-trail running and adventure sports?
Yes. During prolonged outdoor activities, such as trail running, ultramarathons, and multi-hour hikes, it's essential to avoid dehydration and the depletion of mineral reserves. RYDRATE has been tested in real-world conditions by ultra-trail and adventure athletes. Its formula promotes stable hydration over several hours.
Is it suitable for triathlon and combined sports?
Absolutely. Triathlon combines several endurance disciplines (swimming, cycling, running), which increases perspiration and energy expenditure. RYD-02 and RYD-03 are particularly effective at supporting performance during transitions and maintaining focus.
Article: Is it safe for young athletes?
Yes, our caffeine-free products (RYD-01 and RYD-02) are suitable for young athletes who train or compete. They provide healthy hydration without refined sugars or artificial additives. For regular use, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional.
