Honey Stinger's Rapid Hydration Mixes are the only hydration products to use honey as the energy source, demonstrated to be one of the best natural sugars for athletes. The system is offered in three versions. Prepare, Perform, and Recover. The Rapid Hydration Mixes taste great and contain only clean ingredients you will recognize and trust. The Prepare version of the Rapid Hydration Mix is intended to be consumed every morning or one hour before activity, as a loading phase before exercise. Yes, this is Honey Stinger, and there is a reason honey is the main ingredient in each of these mixes. It not only helps them taste great, but as a natural blend of glucose and fructose, it can be pivotal to top performance because of the way the body absorbs and utilizes these sugars. Sold here in pouches that contain 24 individually packaged servings you can be sure to Prepare properly, with 35 calories of energy when mixed with 16 fluid ounces of water.

Based on science pioneered by the World Health Organization, Honey Stinger's formula combines honey with sodium and water to speed the absorption of key nutrients when you need them most. This helps you maintain prime hydration levels and have a reduced risk of heat injury, so you can crush it again and again. Again honey is glucose and fructose. Digestively speaking, the human gut can only absorb 1 gram of glucose per minute or 60 grams per hour. The added fructose allows for the absorption of an additional 30 grams of carbohydrates per hour. This extra absorption helps maintain blood sugar levels and prevent hypoglycemia during training and competition. So if you’re looking to level-up your health and performance, honey-powered hydration might be the competitive advantage you’ve been waiting for.

The Prepare formula starts your endurance exercise day up by replenishing fluid and minerals that are reduced constantly by metabolic activity, and pre-loads your system to better absorb your in-activity intake of the Perform phase. It sets you up to optimize hydration with Honey Stinger's 1:3 Sodium to Potassium ratio, and can also support brain function, mental focus, and cognitive health with benefits from citicoline and L-Theanine. The human brain is optimally 80% water and that is reduced when you dehydrate, so staying fueled and hydrated helps keep you sharper and healthier, including making better decisions and reactions while training.
