Ingredients explained
Coconut water powder
For centuries, those in tropical regions have cherished the refreshing water from coconuts, not only for its taste but also for its health benefits. In fact, in Sanskrit, the coconut is called 'kalpa vriksha' meaning 'the tree that provides all necessities of life'. Coconut water is celebrated as a natural source of electrolytes, including potassium, calcium, and magnesium.
Chicory Root Inulin
Soluble fiber plays a crucial role in nourishing the diverse community of beneficial microbes in the gut microbiome – and we believe that a healthy gut is essential for overall well-being.
Our Inulin, derived from Chicory Root, is a rich source of fiber and offers a light, sweet, and subtly malty flavour, making it a truly versatile ingredient.
Marine magnesium
Extracted from sustainably harvested red algae from the Irish Sea, our magnesium citrate is highly bioavailable. Magnesium is essential for optimal function, involved in systems and processes throughout the body including energy production, nerve function, glucose regulation and bone and muscle health. Yet, the majority of the population is deficient in this crucial nutrient.
Magnesium is also essential for maintaining electrolyte balance and plays a crucial role in hydration, helping to prevent muscle cramps, reduce fatigue, and support overall energy production.
Calcium Malate
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, with nearly 99% stored in the bones and teeth. However, this essential mineral supports much more than just bone health. It plays a vital role in hydration, nerve communication, blood clotting, hormone secretion, and muscle contraction. Our calcium malate is a highly bioavailable form of calcium, offering superior absorption compared to other forms like calcium carbonate.
Pink Himalayan Salt
Protected by snow and ice, Himalayan Pink Salt remains untouched by modern pollution, making it one of the purest salts on Earth. More than just Sodium, it contains essential electrolyte minerals like Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium, along with an impressive array of trace minerals.
A pinch of this pristine pink salt enhances both the flavor and nutritional value, delivering a subtle yet impactful touch.
Potassium: TriPotassium Citrate
Potassium is a key mineral which is essential for maintaining proper fluid balance, regulating blood pressure, and facilitating nerve function and muscle contractions. As a key electrolyte, it helps prevent dehydration and supports optimal muscle performance during physical activity. Our potassium citrate has been carefully selected for its purity and high bioavailability.
Chromium Picolinate
Chromium is a lesser-known but highly essential trace mineral with a wide range of health benefits. It plays a crucial role in blood sugar control, supporting insulin function to help enhance glucose metabolism and stabilise energy levels. Chromium also promotes nutrient metabolism, contributing to heart health, weight management, and cognitive function. Our formula includes chromium paired with picolinic acid, a form more easily absorbed than others, maximising its effectiveness.
A closer look
HYDRATED SKIN
Electrolytes help maintain optimal hydration levels throughout the body, including the skin. Hydration supports healthy-looking skin and contributes to overall radiance from within.**
KEEPING IT SIMPLE
Many electrolyte drinks contain added flavors and sweeteners, but at Ancient + Brave, we keep it close to nature. Our True Hydrate formula uses simple ingredients with no artificial additives.
PERFECT PERFORMANCE PAIRING
Pair True Hydrate with True Creatine+ to support physical performance and hydration. While creatine helps maintain muscle energy during high-intensity activity, electrolytes support fluid balance and muscle function -making them a powerful combination for active lifestyles.
AS NATURE INTENDED
We draw inspiration from ancient practices to address today’s needs. Our ancestors relied on mineral-rich spring water, packed with Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, and Calcium. In contrast, modern tap water often lacks these essential electrolytes, highlighting the importance of replenishing what’s naturally missing for optimal hydration.
WITH ADDED FIBER
Many diets fall short on fiber, which is key for gut health and helps support normal blood glucose levels. True Hydrate is enriched with Chicory Root Inulin, offering a simple and tasty way to support your daily wellness while helping you meet your fiber needs.

Reviews
I actually had complements
"I was very sceptical but twice I have been told after weeks taking this that I actually look really well and glowing never had complements like this before. So this is my only new daily ritual."
— Linsay S. (5/5)
Wow!
"I have been having True Hydration for a month now. I bought it to have pre swim 3 x per week but ended up taking it daily as I like it so much 😄. Anyway, apart from loving the flavour and seeing how it helps my energy levels whilst exercising and post exercise I have found another, huge, benefit. I have suffered from Restless Leg Syndrome since childhood - it is horrid and affects my sleep and relaxation. I have not had it for three weeks now. Life changing! I have done a bit of research and it seems that Magnesium can help with RLS. Thank you A&B ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️"
— Jules H. (5/5)
Oh wow!
"Well after a night out with family, I made a drink up and put it beside my bed ready for morning. I was the only person who came downstairs refreshed and feeling great. I have been a bit rubbish of late hydrating myself and this stuff has been fantastic and my skin, clear and lurvley!!"
— Sarah C. (5/5)
Hydrate!
"So glad I tried this at a festival this summer. This has definitely helped me through this exceptionally hot weather and tastes refreshing with a hint of coconut water. Another new ritual I have happily added to my day."
— Valerie V. (5/5)
Great product with pure ingredients
"This is a great product. I use it in my water bottle and drink a little just before and then during my pickleball sessions which are usually around two hours in duration. It makes a massive difference to my hydration and focus. I have a compromised digestive system and many products I just can’t tolerate, but I have no problems with this at all. No added sugar either, so that’s a plus too :-)"
— alisonmoloney@hotmail.com P. (5/5)
Vacation with True Hydration
"I took the sachets with me on my recent holiday to Corfu. They were small and easy enough to fit in my suitcase. They couldn't have been simpler to make up each day. One sachet in bottled water, squirt of orange squash and shake. With the temperatures soring these made me feel less dehydrated and tired. Would highly recommend them."
— Mary E. (5/5)
Life Saver
"This is just a life saver - I used to feel terrible waking up - but now I actually look forward to getting up and having my hydration drink because I instantly feel better - I do add a tiny dash of lemon cordial and ice and it’s just so refreshing - I would recommend this to anyone who feels sluggish in a morning"
— Emma B. (5/5)
Noticeable difference
"I’m always sceptical about taking supplements of any kind. My chiropractor recommended this product and I wouldn’t be without it now. Noticeable reinvigoration from drinking first thing in the morning. Love it! Highly recommended"
— Mrs c. (5/5)
I like including this in my daily regime.
"I’ve been taking this consistently daily for many months including in winter because I walk a lot and I like including it in my daily hydration routine. However there’s been a medical instance recently where I’ve had suspected high creatinine levels which affects kidneys which at my age (71) is not good news. So for now because I’m due follow up tests I’m not including it. I’m a bit disappointed at this, minerals are good for the body but maybe there are some that don’t suit us all."
— Janice F. (4/5)
These create a smooth drink
"These create a smooth drink and taste great. I do find them a little fiddly to mix correctly. The sachets mean I can throw one in my bag to take to work or workout session."
— Pauline O. (4/5)
