Quantities are manufacturer declarations. A higher score means more of our documentation criteria are met; unverified testing receives no points, which does not establish that a product is unsafe or untested. Higher sodium, zero sugar, “natural” claims, customer stars and affiliate status earn no bonus. Prices retain AUD/NZD; no exchange rate or discounts are assumed. Official source links are kept separate from labelled affiliate shop links. We may earn a commission on eligible partner purchases; see our disclosure.

SAME CATEGORY · LABEL DILUTION

Your selected hydration products.

AUD and NZD stay separate. Dilution ranges are shown in full.

CHOOSE FOR YOUR SESSION

The right drink has a purpose.

Match your sweat losses.

AIS guidance uses electrolytes strategically when sweat and sodium losses warrant replacement. Session length, heat, sweat rate and food intake affect your needs; the largest sodium number is not a universal winner.

Decide whether you need fuel.

Carbohydrate sports drinks supply both fluid and fuel. Low-carbohydrate electrolyte drinks suit a different plan. We separate these groups rather than rewarding every product for being sugar-free.

Read the prepared concentration.

A scoop tells only part of the story. Sodium and carbohydrate per litre depend on water volume. Our figures use the brand’s dilution, preserving ranges and flagging conflicting instructions.

Check your actual batch.

Independent screening can reduce some supplement risks. Match the product, flavour and batch to its record. Banned-substance screening and microbiological testing answer different questions.
