Two pillars of sports nutrition in one hypotonic drink: meet 226ERS’ new Hydrazero Creatine

226ERS expands its sports nutrition catalog with Hydrazero Creatine, a new hypotonic drink that combines hydration and creatine supplementation in one product. Its formula includes 3 grams of creatine monohydrate, 500 mg of sodium, potassium, and magnesium per serving, a combination designed for both endurance athletes and those practicing strength and power disciplines.

226ERS launches Hydrazero Creatine, a drink for daily hydration and creatine intake starting at 2 euros

Creatine has become one of the most widely used supplements in sports thanks to scientific evidence supporting its benefits on performance in high-intensity efforts. Meanwhile, the replenishment of fluids and electrolytes is a fundamental part of sports nutrition, especially in endurance disciplines like cycling.

Now, the Spanish brand 226ERS has decided to combine both strategies into a single product with the launch of Hydrazero Creatine, a drink that provides the daily dose of 3 grams of creatine along with a combination of electrolytes designed to promote hydration.

The goal is to simplify the athlete's nutritional routine, avoiding the need to resort to two different products to meet these needs.

A formula with 3 grams of creatine and 500 mg of sodium per serving

The main feature of Hydrazero Creatine is its composition. Each 9-gram serving of the product includes 3 grams of creatine monohydrate, an amount that falls within the daily doses typically used in sports supplementation protocols.

Creatine helps increase energy availability in the muscle during short, repeated, high-intensity efforts. Continued consumption can improve performance in this type of exercise and contribute to the maintenance of muscle mass, especially when combined with proper training.

In cycling, these effects can be interesting in situations that require producing a lot of power, such as sprints, repeated accelerations, or certain explosive efforts characteristic of MTB.

226ERS also highlights the possible role of creatine in cognitive performance during situations of high physical or mental demand, although the evidence regarding these benefits is less conclusive than that related to muscle performance.

Along with creatine, the new drink incorporates three electrolytes with specific functions.

• Sodium (500 mg per serving): is one of the main electrolytes lost through sweat and plays an important role in maintaining fluid balance.
• Potassium: participates in the body's water balance and in the normal functioning of muscles.
• Magnesium: contributes to normal energy metabolism and muscle function.

With this combination, the brand aims to offer a solution that allows for the replenishment of minerals during or after exercise while maintaining regular creatine supplementation.

A hypotonic drink, sugar-free and with very few calories

Another important aspect of Hydrazero Creatine is that it uses a hypotonic formulation.

This type of drink has a lower concentration of dissolved particles than blood plasma, a characteristic that can favor the absorption of liquids. According to 226ERS, its formula has been developed to facilitate gastric emptying and achieve rapid and efficient hydration.

Additionally, Hydrazero Creatine contains no sugar and has a reduced caloric contribution, with a minimal amount of carbohydrates.

This allows it to be used as a hydration drink without adding a significant amount of energy to the daily diet. This is a particularly interesting feature for athletes who wish to control their carbohydrate intake or prefer to manage energy contribution separately during training.

The formula also contains no caffeine or gluten and has the vegan certification V-Label, making it suitable for people following a vegetarian or vegan diet.

Designed to be consumed during training, after, or on rest days

Unlike other sports nutrition products that are designed exclusively for consumption during exercise, Hydrazero Creatine proposes a much broader use.

226ERS explains that it can be used as a regular hydration drink, during training sessions, or after completing a workout. It is also intended to be consumed at any other time of the day, even during work, study, or travel.

This versatility relates to one of the fundamental characteristics of creatine supplementation. Its benefits on muscle performance primarily depend on maintaining a regular intake that allows for the increase and preservation of muscle stores, rather than necessarily consuming it at the time of exercise.

For this reason, the brand recommends maintaining daily consumption both on training days and on rest days.

The combination with electrolytes allows a single serving to cover regular creatine supplementation and provide minerals that participate in hydration and muscle function processes.

The product is aimed at endurance, strength, and power athletes, but also at physically active individuals who want to incorporate creatine into their daily routine in an easy way.

Among the benefits highlighted by 226ERS are improved performance in repeated high-intensity efforts, support for recovery between training sessions, preservation of muscle mass, and replenishment of electrolytes lost through sweat.

Hydrazero Creatine comes in two flavors and two formats starting at 2 euros

The new Hydrazero Creatine is now available on the official website of 226ERS and is marketed in two flavors, Lemon and Blueberry.

Both can be purchased in two different presentations:

• Single dose of 9 grams: 2 euros. Contains one serving of 3 grams of creatine monohydrate.
• Doypack of 225 grams: 33 euros. Contains the equivalent of 25 servings of 9 grams.

The single-dose format is aimed at those looking for an easy-to-transport option for use during their travels, training, or competitions, while the 225-gram package is designed for regular consumption.

With this launch, 226ERS adds to its hydration range a product that goes beyond electrolyte replenishment. Hydrazero Creatine aims to simplify two common habits in sports nutrition through a formula that combines hydration and creatine in a single drink, with the possibility of using it throughout the year, regardless of the physical activity performed each day.
