SOS Rehydrate is a new sports drink with a laser focus on hydration. SOS Rehydrate is a fast-acting electrolyte replacement drink developed to prevent and fight mild to moderate dehydration from active lifestyles. It has 50% more electrolytes and 75% less carbohydrates than other sports drinks.
Many sports drinks are “energy drinks” with sugar and/or caffeine and give an artificial energy boost – they are not meant to hydrate you. SOS Rehydrate uses the right mix of electrolytes that will help your body maximize its ability to get more out of water – so that you can get hydrated and stay hydrated longer. Why is hydration important? Read the science.
Meijer sent me some SOS Rehydrate in citrus flavor. Here are some of the key features:
- Designed by a doctor and two professional runners
- Medically proven and effective in combating mild to moderate dehydration
- Has more electrolytes and less carbs – see above
- Available in blueberry and citrus flavors
- No artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors
I gave my friends, Jason and Chinh, a box of SOS Rehydrate to try after the Chicago Marathon. Here is what Jason reported:
Erica gave me some lemon-flavored SOS powder to help my recovery after the Chicago marathon this past Sunday. I don’t know about you, but after a race, the LAST thing I want to drink is more lime-flavored sweet sports drink! (Doesn’t that flavor stick in your mouth forever, too?!) So after the race, I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor of the SOS drink. It had a nice lemon tang but wasn’t too sweet. And, it didn’t have a lingering aftertaste either which was nice. Did it help my recovery? Well, I had two packets before I got on a plane Sunday night, one more once I got home and I feel pretty good today. I was probably less sore than after most marathons, too. Would I try SOS again? Absolutely!
Jason’s review was so positive, I tried some after my Monday run and Tuesday morning before my flight. It’s a winner! I like the light tangy taste. It is not sweet or cloying like some lemony drinks. I felt hydrated on my flight which is great for me because I have to be careful because of a history of blood clots. Another great add for my hydration plans!
SOS Rehydrate is $8.75 per box (retail) of five packets. Through November 9, SOS Hydrate is $1 off at Meijer stores, no coupon needed. If you are not in a Meijer area, you can also buy it online or via Amazon.
You can keep up with SOS Rehydrate on Facebook and Twitter! And, great news, Marcia is giving away a box of SOS Hydrate to one lucky reader HERE.
