THE TEST
We'd wager that you don’t pay much attention to your sweat loss during exercise? But you should. It's crucial to your performance.
Rather incredibly, the amount of sweat /sodium lost can vary up to 15 times between seemingly similar individuals.
Everyone loses a different amount of sodium in their sweat, from as little as 200mg per liter of sweat, to as much as 2,000mg/l - this is largely genetically determined.
This means that a 'one-size-fits-all', off the shelf approach doesn't work when it comes to hydration.
We offer a personalized hydration plan and a mix of products that meet your individual needs.
No blood test. No need to bust a gut on a treadmill. No need to wait whilst your sample goes off to a lab for top secret analysis.
Our Sweat Test takes about 45 minutes and all you have to do is sit comfortably whilst we talk to you about how you train, compete and walk you through your Personalized Hydration Strategy. The test is simple, painless, and extremely accurate.
Here's a video showing you how it's done...
This gives us an accurate reading of the amount of sodium (the key electrolyte lost in sweat) you lose every time you exercise. This is largely genetically determined and it's relatively stable after infancy, and so in most cases you'll only need one test in your life in order to understand an important part of the hydration equation.
We combine the reading with the context you give us during the test to create a hydration strategy just for you. We'll advise you on when, what and how much to drink before, during and after training and competitions, so that you're well equipped to achieve your goals.
We have exclusive access to this fully patented testing technology for sweat testing athletes. It has a long and credible history in medicine as a diagnostic tool for some Cystic Fibrosis. We've also been granted US Patent (Pending) for the concept of providing personalized hydration strategies through an accurate sweat test.
