IONTMAX
Hydration Drink HD 500 800 g

IONTMAX Hydration Drink HD 500 is a hypotonic powdered electrolyte drink designed for effective fluid and electrolyte replacement during physical activity. Each serving (20 g / 500 ml) contains a 4-electrolyte complex—sodium (250 mg), potassium, magnesium, and calcium—enriched with Vitamin C. With an osmolality of approximately 147 mOsm/kg, it promotes rapid water absorption. It is free from artificial flavours and sweeteners, vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-free. Recommended for runners, cyclists, triathletes, and hikers.

Preparation is simple: mix 1 scoop or 1 sachet (20 g) in 500 ml of water and consume as needed before, during, or after activity. We do not recommend exceeding this ratio, as a higher concentration would change the drink's osmolality and reduce water absorption speed. The 800 g pack contains 40 servings, providing a supply for nearly 6 weeks of regular training.

IONTMAX HD 500 is designed for hydration at all stages. It is most beneficial during long-duration exertion, heavy sweating, or hot weather. Its hypotonic formula (~147 mOsm/kg) ensures rapid absorption, making it particularly effective during a workout or race. We recommend sipping at regular intervals throughout the activity.

A hypotonic drink has a lower concentration of dissolved substances than bodily fluids. IONTMAX HD 500 has an osmolality of ~147 mOsm/kg, significantly lower than blood plasma (~285–295 mOsm/kg), allowing for faster absorption from the gut compared to isotonic drinks (~270–330 mOsm/kg). This makes it ideal for endurance exercise where rapid hydration is the priority over pure energy replacement.

One serving (20 g / 500 ml) contains 250 mg of sodium, the most crucial electrolyte lost in sweat. The formula is balanced with potassium (from potassium chloride), magnesium (from magnesium carbonate), and calcium (from calcium lactate). Magnesium supports muscle function and helps reduce fatigue. The total salt content per serving is 0.64 g (it contains no added table salt/sodium chloride).

Yes, IONTMAX HD 500 is fully suitable for vegans. It contains no animal products or derivatives. It is also gluten-free, lactose-free, and dairy-free, making it suitable for those with dietary intolerances or coeliac disease. All electrolyte and vitamin sources are of mineral or plant origin.

No, IONTMAX HD 500 is free from common allergens. It is gluten-free, lactose-free, and dairy-free, complying with European safety standards. It is safe for coeliacs, the lactose intolerant, and those avoiding dairy. The natural composition, free from artificial additives, makes it a safe choice for those sensitive to synthetic ingredients.

The 800 g pack contains 40 servings of 20 g each. It is available in three flavours: passion fruit, original lemon, and sweet citrus. All flavours use natural extracts—there are no artificial flavourings or sweeteners. Based on one serving a day, the pack lasts almost 6 weeks, offering significant cost savings compared to ready-to-drink bottled sports drinks.

One 20 g serving provides 70 kcal and 17 g of carbohydrates, all in the form of sucrose. In the prepared 500 ml drink, this results in an approximately 3% carbohydrate solution, maintaining the hypotonic effect. It contains no fat or protein. The energy source is sucrose, which aids in water absorption and provides quick fuel during activity.

Yes, IONTMAX HD 500 is designed to replace plain water during prolonged activity. When sweating heavily, water alone is insufficient and can lead to hyponatraemia. The hypotonic formulation with 250 mg of sodium per serving ensures faster fluid uptake and maintains electrolyte balance, which is crucial for performance.

Standard sports drinks are usually isotonic or hypertonic and often loaded with artificial flavours, sweeteners (e.g., aspartame, acesulfame K), and synthetic colours. IONTMAX HD 500 is hypotonic (~147 mOsm/kg) with a natural ingredient profile, allowing for faster fluid absorption. Additionally, the powdered format reduces cost per serving and minimises plastic waste.

When used as directed (20 g / 500 ml water), IONTMAX HD 500 is well-tolerated. Its hypotonic osmolality avoids the digestive discomfort often caused by hypertonic or overly sugary drinks. It contains no caffeine, artificial sweeteners, or preservatives. Always adhere to the recommended dosage to avoid mineral imbalances.

Yes, IONTMAX HD 500 can be combined with energy gels during endurance efforts lasting over 90 minutes. In such cases, we recommend washing the gel down with water or a drink without extra sugar to avoid increasing the total carbohydrate concentration in your gut, which would compromise the hypotonic nature of your hydration plan. Consult a professional regarding combinations with other electrolyte products to avoid excessive sodium intake.
