The SOS Hydration Tub is the one-month version of SOS Daily Hydration: a low-sugar electrolyte drink mix inspired by oral rehydration science, in a 31-scoop canister. Each scoop gives you sodium, potassium and a little glucose in a ratio SOS says helps your body absorb fluid faster than water alone, plus added vitamins and minerals.
What's in it (per 6g scoop)
- 3g carbohydrate (3g sugars), about 10 calories
- 330mg sodium and 190mg potassium
- Magnesium, zinc and added vitamins including B6, B12, C and D
- No preservatives, artificial sweeteners or artificial colours; sweetened with stevia
- Flavours: Mixed Berry, Lemon, Guava, Watermelon, Mango
How it works
Like clinical oral rehydration formulas, SOS pairs sodium with glucose to use the body's sodium-glucose co-transport system, which pulls water across the gut wall. SOS says its drink hydrates around three times faster than water alone.
When to use it
- Daily hydration at home or at work, particularly in the morning or on hot days
- Before and after training when you don't need extra carbohydrate
- Recovery after a big night, travel days or when you feel run down
- Light gym sessions, sauna days and hot-weather recreation
How to use it
Mix one scoop with 250-500ml of cold water. For long, hard endurance efforts where you need carbohydrate, pair with gels or a carbohydrate drink mix.
