What Does Hydration Complex Do?

Hydration Complex is a well-rounded electrolyte powder with clearly dosed sodium, potassium, magnesium, and vitamin C. It’s strongest as a post-sweat hydration formula rather than a pure sports drink, but the electrolyte doses are still fairly modest for very intense losses.

What Are the Side Effects of Designs for Sport Hydration Complex?

Always consult your health practitioner if in doubt.

RiskMedium Risk

Overview

This formula is relatively low risk for most healthy adults, but it delivers a very large 1,734 mg dose of vitamin C per scoop, which can cause stomach upset or loose stools in sensitive users.
Magnesium is moderate at 80 mg, so it is not a high-dose magnesium product, but people with kidney disease should still be cautious with any magnesium-containing supplement.
Because it contains sodium, potassium, and chloride, people with kidney problems, heart failure, or those on electrolyte-restrictive diets should use medical guidance.
Potential interactions include potassium-sparing diuretics, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and other medications that can raise potassium levels.
Not ideal to combine casually with other high-electrolyte or high-vitamin C products if you already supplement heavily, since the totals can add up quickly.
Contains no common major food allergens listed on the label, and it is stated gluten free, dairy free, soy free, vegan, and non-GMO.
