Kaged Hydration is our delicious electrolyte drink. It contains 5 key electrolytes to support your hydration and less than 1g of sugar.
In this article, we’re going to cover all of the most common questions we get about Hydration.
Is Kaged Hydration the Same as Hydra-Charge?
Yes, it’s the same product, but with an updated name and label aesthetic.
As we announced in this blog post, we’re simplifying our naming conventions. We want our products to communicate clearly what they are, so we decided to rename Hydra-Charge to Hydration.
As we roll out the label and name change, you may still receive the Hydra-Charge packaging. Regardless of the label you get, it’s the same, premium electrolyte powder.
What Flavors Does Hydration Come In?
Hydration comes in 9 flavors.
- Fruit Punch
- Lemon Lime
- Pink Lemonade
- Orange Mango
- Glacier Grape
- Hibiscus Pear
- Apple Limeade
- Strawberry Yuzu
- Watermelon, our latest flavor available in a 30-serving tub
No matter what kinds of flavors you’re into, we’re confident you’ll find a flavor of Hydration that you’ll love.
What If Kaged Hydration Tastes Too Sweet? Not Sweet Enough?
We recommend mixing one scoop of Kaged Hydration in 10-14 ounces of water. If it tastes too sweet for your liking, the solution is simple: add more water. If it’s not sweet enough, next time add a little bit less water.
What If I Don’t Love This Flavor of Kaged Hydration?
It comes in 9 delicious but distinct flavors. If you tried one and didn’t love it, reach out to our team, and we’ll send you a free tub in another flavor.
Can I Stack Kaged Hydration with Other Supplements?
Yes! In fact, we recommend using Hydration as the base for your custom stack. It’s the foundation of our “Mix Your Own” (MYO) System. At Kaged, we provide high-quality unflavored amino acid powders designed to be mixed with Hydration.
Mix and match these depending on your need and make a custom pre or intra-workout drink.
What About Hydration Elite?
In early 2025 we discontinued Hydration Elite.
While Hydration Elite had a few unique ingredients that made it a better product to take during training than the original Hydration, we learned from you that you preferred Hydration: it had more flavors and a better price point.
If you want something that delivers for workout performance, we have over half a dozen pre and intra-workout options to choose from.
What is Kaged Hydration Sweetened With?
Hydra-Charge contains less than 1g of sugar and is sweetened with a combination of natural stevia and sucralose.
We know adding sucralose to our products is controversial, but we stand by the science.
If we see research shift in a big direction we would consider removing it. However, sucralose has been approved for use and continually researched for over 25 years.
The current research suggests that adverse effects are highly unlikely at normal doses.
Let’s dig into this.
Addressing the Sucralose Controversy
The safe limit for sucralose has been set a 5mg/kg per day. For a 150lb person, that’s 340mg. One packet of brand-name sucralose has only 12mg.
So if you’re a 150lb person, you would need to consume 28 packets of sucralose to go above the safe limit. And remember, Hydration contains a mix of natural stevia and sucralose.
As they say, the poison is in the dose.
Consuming 28 bananas or 28 servings of spinach in a day would also likely have adverse effects! For that matter, 28 glasses of water, if you don't consume electrolytes, could cause complications.
To give another example, caffeine is proven safe... at certain doses. Humanity consumes well over a billion servings of caffeine per day. But if you were to have 28 cups of coffee, you would be at risk for serious health complications and possibly find yourself in an emergency situation.
