How to optimize your hydration

A smarter approach to electrolyte balance

Whether you're training for a race, spending long hours outdoors, or simply aiming to feel your best, hydration is essential to your performance and overall wellbeing. Even mild dehydration, just a 2% loss in body weight through fluid, can impair endurance, strength, coordination, and cognitive function.

While water may quench your thirst, it doesn’t always restore your body’s electrolyte balance, especially after intense training or heavy sweating. That’s where electrolytes like sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium come into play.

The importance of electrolytes

Electrolytes are minerals that help regulate fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle activity. Each one plays a unique role in keeping your body hydrated and functioning optimally.

Sodium: The hydration hero

Sodium is the primary electrolyte in extracellular fluid (fluid outside your cells) and is crucial for retaining fluid and stimulating thirst, especially important in endurance sports where sodium loss through sweat is significant. Without enough sodium, your body struggles to hold onto water, leading to faster dehydration.

Potassium: The cellular balancer

Potassium works alongside sodium to regulate fluid inside your cells. It also supports nerve transmission and muscle contraction, making it vital during physical activity.

Magnesium & calcium: The muscle duo

Magnesium and calcium are essential for muscle function:

• Calcium initiates muscle contractions.
• Magnesium helps muscles relax afterward.

Think of them as the accelerator and brake of your muscles. An imbalance, too much calcium and too little magnesium, can lead to cramps. The reverse may cause muscle weakness. You need both in harmony for smooth, efficient movement.

Peak Hydrate: Designed for balance

PEAK Hydrate is formulated to restore electrolyte balance using natural, bioavailable ingredients that support both performance and recovery.

Marnite®: Nature’s mineral complex

PEAK Hydration includes Marnite®, a multi-mineral complex sourced in South Africa that delivers:

• 130mg of calcium
• 180mg of magnesium

This balanced ratio mimics the body’s needs and enhances electrolyte function. Marnite contains slow-release magnesium salts, which improve absorption and reduce the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort often associated with fast-releasing magnesium.

Celtic Salt: Mineral-rich & minimally processed

Another standout ingredient is Celtic salt, a grey sea salt harvested from the coastal region of Brittany, France. Unlike refined table salt, Celtic salt is:

• Minimally processed
• Naturally rich in trace minerals like magnesium, potassium, and calcium

This makes it an ideal foundation for a hydration product that supports fluid balance, muscle function, and recovery.

Hydration is more than just water

True hydration isn’t just about drinking fluids—it’s about restoring balance. Without the right electrolytes, your body can’t retain water effectively or perform at its best.

With a smart blend of sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and natural mineral sources, PEAK Hydrate helps you:

• Rehydrate more efficiently
• Recover faster
• Perform better

Whether you're an athlete, a weekend warrior, or simply navigating a busy day, hydrating smarter makes all the difference.
