Why Drink Lucozade Hydro Active?
If your exercise goal is maintaining fitness, improving body tone or weight management, a hypotonic exercise drink such as Lucozade Hydro Active is ideal.
Lucozade Hydro Active has been designed to provide effective hydration for exercise but provide lower levels of carbohydrate (calories) than traditional sports drinks and so are low in calories - helping to ensure you get the most out or your workout.
Why not just drink water?
Unlike water, exercise drinks like Lucozade Hydro Active contain not only the fluid lost in sweat but also the essential salts such as sodium. Furthermore, the combination of glucose and sodium in the drink helps to hydrate you more effectively by maximising the rate of fluid uptake in the body.
Lucozade Hydro Active can be consumed before, during and after exercise for better hydration.
Aren't I better using an isotonic sports drink like Lucozade Sport?
Lucozade Sport is designed to provide effective hydration and additional fuel in the form carbohydrate. Lucozade Sport therefore provides a greater amount of energy and thus calories.
Depending on what the goal of your exercise session is, training to help supplement your rugby, football or long distance running for example, it may be that Lucozade Sport is appropriate.
However, for most exercise within the gym environment, overall carbohydrate usage is low whilst the hydration needs are high. Therefore in order to get the most out of your workout it is important that you take care of your hydration needs rather than fuel needs, which is what Lucozade Hydro Active is designed for.
What about the fizzy Lucozade Energy?
Lucozade Energy is a hypertonic solution targeted at people who are physically and mentally active and prefer a fizzy drink. For exercise purposes we recommend a still hypotonic drink such as Lucozade Hydro Active.
