The unique formulation of H2O Overdrive quenches your body’s thirst at the cellular level and satisfy's your need for hydration with remarkable taste and nutritional balance.

First - you have to really understand what hydration is and what your body needs for optimal performance. Beyond what we have been led to believe by some crafty marketing folks and by big food companies selling sugar water as “hydration”. Do a label read and you will find most all products sold as “sports beverages” for hydration or rehydration, recovery and energy all contain HUGE amounts of sugar and they try and hide this massive amount of sugar and calories through clever labeling, where they make that 20 ounce bottle 2.5 servings per container. When was the last time you picked up 20 ounces of fluid after strenuous exercise or activity and said to yourself “well - this bottle is 2 and a half servings so I can only drink half of it”….say what!!! Read the label - you will be surprised when you see that bottle of Gatorade® is delivering 32 grams of sugar per 20 ounce bottle….or that Vitamin Water ® is supplying you with 32 grams of sugar and that Red Bull a whopping 60 grams of sugar if you were to drink 20 ounces of it. That is A LOT of sugar.

 

Think about it - 35 grams of sugar actually cancels out all of the calories burned on a 20 minutes run...so where is the benefit????

 

High amounts of sugar cause insulin spikes – this is when insulin is secreted in large quantities in a very short period of time – these spikes in turn trigger the “negative side” of insulin – wherein most of these excess simple carbohydrates are converted from “energy producing” to being stored as fats in the adipose tissue under the stimulus of insulin. To state it more simply – these “extra sugar calories” trigger a down pouring of insulin – that causes these “sugar calories” to be stored as fat instead of as energy. Which in turn can result in weight gain instead of weight loss and can promote diabetes, tooth decay, stalls weight loss and actually increases weight gain. Sugar is the last thing you want in a real sports beverage, hydration or rehydration drink.

 

What you need is protein, carbs, electrolytes, specific amino acids, vitamins and minerals. With H2O Overdrive, the formula itself stimulates and promotes the uptake of the fluids and nutrients to be drawn “inside” the cells, resulting in true cellular level hydration / rehydration. To “hydrate” at the cellular level is to supply fluid, electrolytes and nutrients to the cells prior to exercise or activity – this is to hydrate. Rehydration at the cellular level is to “replenish” or replace fluids, electrolytes and nutrients after exercise or activity (hence, cellular hydration / cellular rehydration). Years of extensive research has shown the importance of consuming a combination of protein and carbohydrates for restoring the body after exercise or strenuous sports activity. Further advanced study showed that replenishing the body’s minerals and electrolytes lost through these strenuous activities is also paramount for recovery and further scientific research and analysis has shown how minerals and electrolytes combined with carbohydrates and protein are far more effective for rehydrating the body and replenishing vital glycogen stores for recovery and muscle repair than simple water or electrolyte and carbohydrate drinks that do not contain protein.
