The HydroProtein Elixir
Our verdict
Sits between a protein shake and an electrolyte drink. Genuinely useful in hot weather, after longer sessions or during night sweats, less necessary for a gentle walk.
Pros
- +Protein plus electrolytes in one
- +Light, easy to drink
- +Useful for night sweats and hot weather
Cons
- -Lower protein than a full shake
- -Not needed for light activity
- -Added flavouring
Evidence
Electrolyte replacement matters after prolonged or heavy sweating. Protein timing is far less important than total daily intake.
Dose
One serve in water after exercise or on hot days
Best for
- · Longer or hotter training sessions
- · Night sweats and fluid loss
- · Anyone who dislikes thick shakes
Not for
- · Anyone on a sodium-restricted diet
- · Light activity where water is enough
