Hydration isn’t just about drinking water—it’s about maintaining the right balance of electrolytes, minerals, and fluids to optimize performance and recovery. Jiu Jitsu athletes sweat heavily during training and competition, losing essential electrolytes that must be replenished.
While many hydration powders flood the market with high sodium content, not all are created equal. Some formulations overload the body with excessive sodium, which can strain the kidneys and cause unnecessary water retention. Pro Hydrate by Riot Sports is different. It’s designed specifically for combat athletes who need electrolyte replenishment without overloading their system.
The Problem with High-Sodium Hydration Powders
Many popular hydration powders on the market contain extreme levels of sodium—some reaching 1,000mg per serving. While sodium is a critical electrolyte, too much can be counterproductive, leading to:
- Kidney stress – Excess sodium forces the kidneys to work harder to maintain electrolyte balance.
- Bloating and water retention – High sodium levels can cause the body to retain excess water, negatively affecting weight management and performance.
- Imbalanced hydration – Too much sodium without adequate levels of potassium and magnesium can throw off electrolyte balance, leading to muscle cramps and fatigue.
How Pro Hydrate Stands Out
Pro Hydrate by Riot Sports is engineered to deliver the perfect ratio of electrolytes—ensuring that Jiu Jitsu athletes rehydrate efficiently without unnecessary stress on their kidneys.
Unlike brands that rely on extremely high sodium levels, Pro Hydrate provides a well-balanced formula that includes:
- Sodium – Just enough to replenish electrolytes lost through sweat without overloading the body.
- Potassium – Helps prevent muscle cramps and maintains proper hydration balance.
- Magnesium – Aids in muscle relaxation and prevents fatigue.
- Coconut Water Powder – Provides hydration benefits with essential minerals for rehydration.
- Dextrose – A quick energy source that helps shuttle electrolytes into muscle cells.
- Zinc – Assists in cellular repair and immune function.
By formulating a lower-sodium, balanced hydration powder, Pro Hydrate ensures that your kidneys aren’t overworked while still delivering the electrolytes needed to perform at peak levels.
How Pro Hydrate Compares to Other Hydration Powders
Most hydration powders on the market contain either too much sodium or artificial ingredients that don’t support athletic performance.
- LMNT and Ath Lytes each contain 1,000mg of sodium, which may be suitable for extreme endurance athletes but is excessive for Jiu Jitsu athletes training daily.
- Liquid IV includes 500mg of sodium but contains artificial flavors and added sugar.
- Drywater and Prime Hydration have high sodium levels but lack the balanced blend of electrolytes that combat athletes require.
Pro Hydrate outperforms the competition by striking the ideal balance—enough sodium for hydration, but not so much that it strains your kidneys.
Key Benefits for Jiu Jitsu Athletes
- Faster Hydration & Electrolyte Replenishment – The right mix of sodium, potassium, and magnesium restores hydration balance without excess strain on your kidneys.
- Supports Muscle Function & Recovery – Magnesium and potassium work together to prevent cramps, aid muscle relaxation, and reduce fatigue.
- Sustained Energy Without Spikes – Dextrose provides a clean energy boost to fuel endurance and performance.
- Natural Ingredients, No Artificial Fillers – Unlike some brands, Pro Hydrate avoids artificial sweeteners and colors, keeping the formula clean and effective.
Delicious Flavors That Actually Taste Good
Unlike many hydration powders that taste overly salty or artificial, Pro Hydrate comes in three refreshing flavors that are perfect for sipping during training:
- Peach Mango
- Lychee
- Passionfruit
Whether you need hydration during training, post-training recovery, or a daily electrolyte boost, Pro Hydrate keeps you performing at your peak without unnecessary additives.
Final Thoughts
Hydration matters. But not all hydration powders are built for Jiu Jitsu athletes. Many brands overload their formulas with excessive sodium, which can do more harm than good. Pro Hydrate is the smarter choice—with an optimized blend of electrolytes, clean ingredients, and the right balance of sodium to keep your body in peak condition.
Ditch the high-sodium formulas. Train smarter, recover faster, and stay hydrated the right way with Pro Hydrate.
