NutriForce Sports (NF Sports), Miami Lakes, Fla., says its new Balanced Hydration supplement mix helps prepare the body for exercise. Instructions call for users to mix one scoop with 16oz of water. Balanced Hydration comes in Coconut Pineapple and Citrus flavors and can be taken whenever athletes, lifters or weekend warriors would normally drink water throughout the day.

“Balanced Hydration has the essential electrolytes, minerals, and salts to help you absorb the water you are drinking,” says Dr. Kelly Starrett, a physical therapist and physical movement specialist.

NF Sports officials say Balanced Hydration also features Sustamine, a branded dipeptide that combines the amino acids L-Alanine and L-Glutamine to help the body rehydrate, replenish, and recover. It also includes the most bioavailable forms of electrolytes necessary for hydration.

NF Sports (nutriforcesports.com) offers a broad line of supplements for before, during and after work-outs. The company says its products reflect it work many professionals including Ph.D.s, biochemists, nutritionists, formulators and others.

Kyowa Hakko USA says Sustamine is more easily absorbed by the body than complex protein molecules. This makes Sustamine a highly effective ingredient for hydration, endurance and recovery. Vegetarian, allergen-free and the only GRAS L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine, Sustamine also is tasteless, odorless, and stable in liquids.
