How to Use Hydrate or Die Electrolytes

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I use Hydrate or Die?

That’s easy. Just mix one packet of Hydrate or Die into water (we suggest cold water) and shake vigorously. 16 oz or a half liter of water should do the trick. You can use more or less water depending on your flavor preferences, but to maintain ideal osmolality we recommend 16 ounces as a good baseline.

Hydrate or Die is made in the USA. Where do your ingredients come from?

At BUBS, we wanted to do everything we could to source our ingredients from right here in the USA, focusing on quality and purity instead of importing cheap commodities from overseas. Our sodium chloride is Pacific Ocean sea salt, harvested from ponds near the San Francisco Bay; our sugar is made in Florida, using sugar cane harvested in multiple US states; and our Potassium Citrate, Potassium Chloride, and Magnesium Bisglycinate components are manufactured in Illinois, Texas, and Utah, respectively. BUBS is very proud that Hydrate or Die carries the Made in USA flag on every package!

Why 2000 mg of electrolytes (2X or 3X the competition)?

Most hydration products underdeliver where it counts. BUBS Hydrate or Die packs 2,000 mg of electrolytes per serving—twice or even three times more than typical formulas—because we believe your body deserves more than marketing hype. Whether you're training hard, sweating under the sun, or chasing adventure, your body demands a clinical dose of sodium, potassium, and magnesium to truly perform and recover. We're not in this to play small—we're here to fuel every event like your life depends on it.

What's better about our ingredients than the competition?

Simple: we source for purity, potency, and purpose—not price. Our Pacific Ocean sea salt originates from the pristine waters of San Francisco Bay. Sugar cane is harvested from U.S. farms and processed in Florida. Our Magnesium Glycinate is ultra-absorbable and made in the USA. Unlike competitors who cut corners with fillers or imported low-grade minerals, every BUBS ingredient is clean, traceable, and functional—because you can’t out-hustle a broken system with cheap inputs.

Why is it essential to include chloride as a key electrolyte?

Chloride is the forgotten electrolyte—but your body doesn't ignore it. It partners with sodium and potassium to regulate fluid balance, blood pressure, and stomach acid. Without it, your hydration formula is incomplete. That's why BUBS includes it front and center, helping your system absorb fluids efficiently while supporting digestion and pH regulation.

Why is real sugar important to hydration?

Because sugar is the driver—not the enemy. When used correctly, real cane sugar acts like a molecular “taxi,” helping sodium and electrolytes cross your intestinal wall and enter your bloodstream more quickly. This process is the foundation of ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution) science. We use a clinically appropriate amount of cane sugar, not artificial sweeteners, because real performance needs real fuel—especially when your body is under stress.

Why Sodium Chloride?

Sodium chloride (aka salt) isn't just for flavor – it's the kingpin of hydration. It controls everything from muscle contractions to nerve impulses, and it's the electrolyte your body loses the most through sweat. BUBS uses pure, unbleached sea salt from California's coast—rich in trace minerals and sourced sustainably from Pacific evaporation ponds, not stripped-down industrial salt.

Why Magnesium Glycinate?

Not all magnesium is created equal. Many products use inexpensive forms, such as oxides, which are poorly absorbed and can be tough on the gut. BUBS uses Magnesium Glycinate, the gold standard for bioavailability and GI friendliness. It helps prevent cramps and supports cellular hydration—all without the bloating or laxative effects you get from inferior sources.

Why both Potassium Chloride and Potassium Citrate?

Because synergy > shortcuts. Potassium Chloride helps balance sodium and supports nerve signaling. In contrast, Potassium Citrate helps buffer acidity and improve kidney function and endurance. Together, they provide a full-spectrum potassium profile, supporting hydration and recovery from multiple angles. You don’t need just one—you need both working together.

What is ORS (Oral Rehydration Solution)?

ORS is a science-backed hydration protocol originally developed by the World Health Organization. It's a precise blend of sodium, potassium, chloride, and glucose that creates an optimal osmotic gradient, allowing your body to absorb fluids faster and more efficiently. Think of it as hydration on overdrive, proven to save lives in medical emergencies and now powering peak performance.

Why did BUBS design the formula to be ORS-compliant?

Because hydration is about absorption, not just drinking. Most hydration drinks are flavored water with a sprinkle of electrolytes. At BUBS, we went all-in on clinical function, building our formula to meet WHO-researched ORS criteria so that what you drink actually works. You’ll feel it faster, stay energized longer, and recover harder. Real science. Real impact.

Why does BUBS add flavoring to Hydrate or Die?

Because hydration should feel like a ritual, not a chore. We use natural flavors to make Hydrate or Die crave-worthy—not cloying, not artificial, and never overwhelming. You’ll look forward to every sip, and that means you’ll actually hydrate more often. Better taste leads to better habits, which in turn leads to better performance.

What is Monkfruit Extract?

Monkfruit is a small green melon (Siraitia grosvenorii, aka luo han guo) from Asia with natural zero-calorie sweetness. We use a premium-grade PureFruit™ Extract with 48–52% Mogroside V—the active sweetening compound. Unlike stevia or artificial sweeteners, Monkfruit has no bitter aftertaste and no impact on blood sugar, and it pairs beautifully with real cane sugar to balance sweetness without going overboard.

Is Hydrate or Die third-party tested?

Of course! In fact, there are 3rd-party testing labs involved in the production of Hydrate or Die at numerous stages along the way. Ingredients are tested for potency and purity before being released to ship to our manufacturer, and then again by our manufacturer before being released for use in BUBS production (always ISO-certified analytical labs). And then every single finished lot is sent to NSF for its testing, to assure that Hydrate or Die is free of fraudulent and prohibited ingredients.

Why Choose NSF Certified for Sport®?

The NSF Certified for Sport® program helps athletes, dietitians, coaches, and consumers make safer decisions when choosing sports supplements. In addition to testing for over 300 athletic banned substances, products bearing the Certified for Sport® mark on packaging must be produced in a manufacturing facility that is inspected up to twice a year to comply with the U.S. FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements. Label claims are verified and products are tested to verify formulation. Every lot produced is also tested for harmful levels of contaminants, such as heavy metals or fraudulent ingredients. NSF’s Certified for Sport® certification is the only independent third-party certification program recognized by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), Major League Baseball, the National Hockey League and the Canadian Football League. Certified for Sport® is also recommended by the NFL, NBA, PGA, LPGA, CCES, CPSDA, iNADO, Ironman, NASCAR, and many other organizations seeking to mitigate the risks of contaminated dietary supplements.
