PILLAR Performance Electrolyte Hydration / Citrus / 30 Servings
Electrolyte drinks loaded with 1,000mg of sodium or more sound like serious performance fuel. But there's a problem that comes with this level of concentration: mix a high-sodium drink with fuel from gels and the combined concentration of particles in your gut tips into hypertonic territory. That means your gut actually pulls water away from your muscles to dilute it, and that's what's behind the bloating, nausea, and GI cramping that derails so many race nutrition plans. PILLAR Performance Electrolyte Hydration was built specifically for that. This is the hydration mix engineered around osmolarity so your gut keeps working no matter what else you're taking in. Evidence-Based Sodium Serving – PILLAR delivers 400mg of sodium per serving — the evidence-based target aligned with ACSM guidance. That's enough to drive fluid absorption in your gut, maintain blood plasma volume during exercise, and trigger your thirst response at the right time. It's also precisely formulated so that when you combine it with an energy gel on race day, the total osmolarity stays in the ideal isotonic range (~289 mOsm/kg) instead of tipping hypertonic. Rapid Absorption Formula – On its own, PILLAR Electrolyte Hydration sits at approximately 100–130 mOsm/kg — well into hypotonic territory. That means it absorbs faster than your blood plasma, delivering sodium, potassium, and magnesium — the three minerals that keep your muscles firing and your fluid balance on track — without competing with your fuel. Clean Daily Formula – No sugar, no calories worth counting, naturally flavored and sweetened with stevia and monk fruit. Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free. Every batch is Informed Sport Certified, so it's clean for competition at any level. How to Use PILLAR Performance Electrolyte Hydration Before training: Mix one 7g scoop or sachet into 500–750ml of water and drink in the 30–60 minutes before your session begins. Starting your workout already hydrated matters more than most athletes realize. During training or racing: Sip throughout your session. For longer efforts, dilute one scoop into up to 1L of water. If you're taking gels, keep going — the formula is designed so the combined osmolarity stays gut-friendly. Daily hydration: It works just as well off the bike or out of your run shoes. First thing in the morning when you wake up slightly dehydrated is one of the best times to use it. Up to 4 servings per day. Elite endurance athletes, including Ironman champions and professional cyclists, have adopted PILLAR's hydration system specifically because it eliminates the GI variable on race day. When your gut works, your race plan works.
