About Hydrant
Back in 2017, Jai Jung Kim and John Sherwin were dealing with the same problem: They couldn’t shake the all-too-familiar fatigue, irritability, and headaches that are the result of moderate dehydration. After meeting through a mutual friend, the pair set out to create a product that’d allow them to stay hydrated without constantly chugging water or buying plastic bottles of unnecessarily sweetened sports drinks. After extensive research and testing, Kim and Sherwin landed on a formula of real fruit juice powder and electrolytes that facilitates efficient water absorption and, unlike sports drinks, contains little sugar and no artificial sweeteners or flavors. The result is as refreshing as it is effective.

Why we love them
With myriad flavors and formulations for different needs throughout your day, Hydrant has hydration covered on every front. KCM’s Ciara is partial to the Lemonade Hydrate blend after tough workouts and on days when she doesn’t have her big water bottle on hand; it has no added sugar and is just a little bit salty (a mix that’s oddly delicious). Hydrant also makes a hydrating Energy mix that contains about as much caffeine as a typical cup of coffee, along with a vitamin-packed Immunity blend and a Sleep mix with melatonin and other relaxing ingredients. Hydrant’s site includes a taste profile for each mix, so you can choose your preferred level of sweetness or tartness.
