HMN24 HYDRATE

Hydrate by HMN24, Hydrate is a fast and effective formula to improve hydration by replacing fluid and body salts after an intense training session or after a long night’s sleep. Each sachet contains an optimal ratio of sodium, potassium and magnesium to improve cellular hydration. I highly recommend the citrus flavour, which I always take immediately upon waking. It really sets my day up perfectly. Head to HMN24.com where you can get a month’s supply of 30 sachets and use the code PHIL10 at checkout for 10% off.
