We tried it: A way to rehydrate your body without all the calories

You know that you have to give your body the electrolytes (more about them later) and other nutrients it needs to refuel and replenish after a hard work out. And now, in these hot summer months, your body will need that help more than ever! Gatorade and Powerade have had a corner on the rehydration market ever since we were born, but now, everything is starting to change.

 

Motive Pure is a new brand that has just started mass producing. Their slogan is actually, “Make Water Better.” Don’t you want to make your water better? They brought those other sports drinks down to the bare minimum of what an athlete really needs and put that in a liquid concentrate form. That means, you have to mix it with water (1 fluid ounce of concentrate makes 20 fluid ounces of finished product) to have a great rehydrating experience.

 

But don’t you need all of those extra calories? Motive Pure is a rehydration solution that quickly and effectively replenishes vital electrolytes. It has zero sugar, zero artificial flavors and zero artificial colors. So, it’s clear and it tastes like lemon-lime because it has citric acid (the thing that transfers the vitamins and minerals to your body, because otherwise you couldn’t absorb them). Motive Pure increases both electrolyte and water absorption as well as giving you the water and electrolytes to absorb! Doesn’t that sound smart?

 

Motive Pure has sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium—all vital electrolytes that your body requires to rehydrate the right way. You can drink it whenever, wherever, but it’s my fave sip when I’m working out—running FTW!—or at practice. The more often you drink it, the more alert you’ll feel. You can work harder and longer (in the classroom or at the gym!) than you have before because this keeps you hydrated all the way through the day.

 

For a 12-pack of 1 ounce bottles (that you just pour into your bottle of water on the go), you get 30 servings and you pay $29.99 plus shipping. That’s only a dollar per serving! Definitely worth it in my book. Check out motivepure.com for more info.
