After fifty, thirst stops being a reliable signal.

Your sense of thirst dulls with age. Your kidneys hold onto water less efficiently. And if you take a blood pressure medication or a diuretic, you lose more fluid through the day than you did at forty.

Most people never notice any of that. What they notice is feeling foggy at three in the afternoon and blaming it on sleep.

Water alone does not always fix it. What you lose across a day is water plus the minerals that help your body hold onto it. This is one scoop in a bottle of water. Passion fruit, no caffeine, no sugar.*

Why we chose this one

• Electrolytes in citrate forms, which dissolve and absorb more readily than the cheaper versions used in most powders.
• B12 as methylcobalamin, the form older adults absorb most reliably.
• Caffeine free, sugar free, ten calories a scoop.
• Made in the USA. Lab results available on request for the batch you receive.

How we coach it

• One scoop most days is plenty. The label permits up to five in twenty-four hours. That ceiling is for people losing serious fluid through heat or hard training. For an ordinary day, one is the number.
• Morning beats afternoon. You wake up mildly dehydrated after eight hours without water. Starting there does more than reaching for it at three o'clock once the fog has settled.
• This is a light electrolyte dose. One hundred milligrams of sodium and two hundred of potassium per scoop. That suits steady daily use rather than replacing what you sweat out after an afternoon in the yard. On those days, drink more water alongside it.
