Sports nutrition brands have always touched on the hydration space long before the recent and extreme rise in the category, with many of the amino acid supplements across the years having a touch of electrolytes to support hydration. HR Labs is doing precisely that in its all-new Hydro EAA; a premium approach to an amino-based product combining a solid dose of recovery-supporting EAAs and a host of hydration components that rival dedicated hydration supplements.
HR Labs’ hybrid Hydro EAA gives you a sizeable 10g of all nine essential amino acids, and, as per usual, the majority of that 10g is BCAAs, close to 7g, and it’s a very leucine-favoring ratio, well above the typical 2:1:1 breakdown. That’s also topped off with the premium and ever-present AstraGin at an effective 50mg, to enhance absorption and get higher efficacy out of the product.
Moving on to the other half of HR Labs Hydro EAA, you have the many hydration, performance, and endurance-enhancing ingredients, led by over a gram of electrolytes, breaking down into 600mg of chloride, 470mg of sodium, 259mg of sodium, 80mg of calcium, and 60mg of magnesium. All of that comes from quality sources like pink Himalayan salt, Cocomineral branded coconut water, and Aquamin, as well as a respectable 1.5g of taurine to further help hydration.
As mentioned earlier, sports nutrition brands have been combining amino acids and electrolytes for many years, but HR Labs has brought a modern twist to the familiar strategy in Hydro EAA, supporting recovery and hydration in a robust fashion. The UK-based brand is known for delivering quality, well-thought-out, and reliable formulas, and its latest continues that with four tasty flavors to choose from, and despite the stacked profile, you get the classic 30 servings at £34.99 (£34.99 USD).
