Gnarly Hydrate is the electrolyte formula built for the demands of real outdoor activity — not just a quick gym session. It replenishes the key electrolytes lost through sweat, supports cellular hydration, and helps maintain the performance and focus you need for long days in the mountains. Clean ingredients, great flavor, and a formula your body can actually use.
Hydration isn't just about water — it's about electrolytes. When you sweat, you lose sodium, potassium, and magnesium: the minerals that regulate fluid balance, nerve signaling, muscle contraction, and cellular function. Drink plain water without replacing these electrolytes and you risk hyponatremia, cramping, fatigue, and impaired performance — regardless of how much you're drinking.
Gnarly Hydrate addresses this with a targeted electrolyte formula designed for the specific demands of sustained outdoor activity. Sodium drives fluid absorption at the cellular level and is the primary electrolyte lost in sweat. Potassium supports muscle function and cardiovascular efficiency. Magnesium plays a critical role in over 300 biochemical reactions — including energy production, muscle relaxation, and nerve function — and is commonly depleted in active individuals.
Together, these electrolytes keep your cells hydrated, your muscles firing, and your mind sharp through long days on trail, technical ascents, hot-weather efforts, and everything in between. Whether you're using it before, during, or after activity, Gnarly Hydrate ensures your hydration is actually working.
Mix 1–2 scoops with 16–20 oz of cold water. Shake or stir well. Use before, during, or after activity based on sweat rate, duration, and environmental conditions.
In hot weather or during high-output efforts, use 2 scoops per serving and increase fluid intake accordingly. For everyday hydration maintenance, 1 scoop is sufficient.
Stack: Combine with Gnarly Creatine pre-session for a combined performance and hydration boost. Use alongside Gnarly Fuel₂O for ultra-endurance efforts requiring both electrolytes and carbohydrate energy.

Hydration benefits are immediate — every serving supports fluid balance and electrolyte replenishment in real time. There is no loading phase.
Consistent daily use during training and active recovery supports sustained performance, reduced cramping, and better overall hydration status over time.
Results vary depending on sweat rate, activity duration, climate, and individual physiology, but may include reduced muscle cramping, sustained energy and focus during long efforts, faster rehydration post-exercise, and improved overall performance in heat or high-output conditions.
If you’re not 100% satisfied, return your product within 30 days (less than half used) for a full refund, and we’ll also replace any items that arrive damaged. Exchanges are available, and return shipping may apply.

No fine print, no confusion. These are the questions we hear most about our products, our standards, and how Gnarly fits into real training days.
Yes! Gnarly Hydrate is a great option for active kids because it’s low in sugar, free of artificial colors and flavors and it tastes great!
Taking in the right amount of water will get you halfway to properly hydrating, but if that is all you do, then your performance will suffer and you could seriously injure yourself. The other half of the equation involves replenishing the electrolytes lost in sweat. Although sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium are all lost in sweat, sodium is, by far, lost in the greatest concentrations, with losses ranging from 200-700mg per 16 oz of sweat.
By choosing a hydration beverage that contains electrolytes at effective levels, you ensure you’re giving your body both the water and electrolytes it needs to perform optimally while preventing cramping and dehydration.
Gnarly Hydrate is free of wheat, gluten, soy, dairy and nuts.
The amount of Gnarly Hydrate you should consume is dependent on the duration, intensity and type of activity you are doing and is largely determined by how much you sweat. You can determine approximately how much you sweat by doing a hydration test.
On average, aim to drink 16-20 oz of Gnarly Hydrate/hour when training hard.
The shelf life of Gnarly Hydrate is 2 years.
Gnarly Hydrate includes sugar for two primary reasons 1) Sugar, along with sodium, helps facilitate the transport of water into the body, and 2) Sugar is also an important fuel for muscles during exercise. Gnarly Hydrate doesn’t include enough sugar to be your primary fuel (so make sure you are consuming calories from another source), but it does contain enough sugar to effectively hydrate your body.
No, we didn’t forget yours. We’ve come to the hard decisions to ditch our scoops for the sake of Mother Nature.
Losing the scoops will save an estimated 28,000lbs (that’s a Freight Ship with Rocky Balboa as the Captain) of plastic per year. It’s a no brainer for our beloved Earth.
Now don’t just start pouring powder into your drinks willy-nilly. Have a regular spoon laying around? Good. Here’s the kitchen equivalent:
2 scoops with 10-12 oz of liquid, or 1/3 cup (50 grams) with 10-12 oz of liquid.
