We all know the importance of hydration. We constantly hear that we need to drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. But did you know that the “8 glasses” rule isn’t rooted in science? It actually dates back to 1945, and there’s little physiological reason behind it. Sure, drinking water is great, but what’s the real secret to staying properly hydrated, especially when you train hard and sweat a lot? The answer lies in sodium. Yes, that’s right—sodium!

Sodium has often been demonized, but it’s a crucial electrolyte for proper fluid balance in the body and many other physiological processes. How does sodium help with hydration? It’s all about the electrochemical attraction between sodium chloride (salt) and water. When sodium enters a cell, it pulls water with it, ensuring that your body stays hydrated at a cellular level.

If you’re drinking a lot of water but not getting enough sodium—especially after sweating during intense workouts—you might actually be lowering your sodium levels, leading to symptoms like weakness, fatigue, headaches, nausea, and muscle cramps. This condition, known as hyponatremia, can be dangerous.

That’s where Max Effort’s NDR Hydrate comes in. This formula delivers a healthy dose of sodium and chloride, the perfect combination to keep you hydrated during your workouts, while playing sports, or even while working outside on a hot day. With NDR Hydrate, the sodium helps your body utilize water more effectively, ensuring that you stay properly hydrated.

One common question about sodium is whether it raises blood pressure. The truth is that many factors contribute to high blood pressure, including poor diet, excess body fat, a sedentary lifestyle, stress, and poor sleep. At almost 59 years of age, I regularly take NDR Hydrate, and my blood pressure remains at a healthy 112/72.

In addition to sodium and chloride, Max Effort’s NDR Hydrate also contains Magnesium Glycinate, Potassium, Calcium, and Vitamins B6 and B12. These essential micronutrients work together to improve blood sugar levels, increase protein synthesis, prevent cramping, aid in muscle contractions, and support overall metabolic processes. A single dose of NDR Hydrate packs a big nutritional punch, helping you stay hydrated, recover faster, and train harder—especially during the hot summer months. Plus, NDR Hydrate tastes great, making it a refreshing choice on a hot day.

Stay on top of your hydration game with Max Effort’s NDR Hydrate and experience the difference in your training!
