Hydration RTDs

Long runs, heavy lifts and hot Kiwi summers all drain precious fluids and minerals. Hydration RTDs (ready-to-drink) deliver a perfectly balanced dose of electrolytes in a grab-and-go bottle or can—no scoops, no shaker, no guesswork. Keep a few chilled and sip your way to faster recovery, sharper focus and all-day energy.

Instant Electrolyte Balance

Every serve is precision-mixed with sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium to replace what’s lost through sweat and keep muscle contractions firing smoothly. Options like the Ghost Hydration Drink RTD pack these minerals into a zero-sugar formula, making it easy to stay hydrated without unwanted carbs.

Performance-Ready Formulations

Many RTDs go beyond basic salts, adding taurine for cellular hydration, B-vitamins for energy metabolism and vitamin C for immune support. Because they’re pre-carbonated or lightly still, absorption is rapid—ideal for half-time, mid-ride or between back-to-back training sessions.

Sugar-Free, Flavour-Full Choices

From crisp Lemon Lime to bold Blue Raspberry, you’ll find flavours that make drinking enough fluid effortless. Most cans clock in at under 20 calories, suit vegan and gluten-free diets, and leave out artificial colours—so they fit neatly into any nutrition plan.

When to Sip & How Much

Aim for 500 ml of hydration RTD 30 minutes before exercise and another 250–500 ml per hour of intense effort.

Keep an extra bottle on hand for travel days, festivals or whenever plain water just doesn’t cut it.
