Ryse Core Hydration - Pink Splash, 104g (16 Serves)

Ryse Core Hydration Pink Splash is an electrolyte powder from Ryse, built for training days and hot summer shifts, and just as useful on the days you don't drink enough water on your own. Each 6.5g stick carries 320mg of sodium, the electrolyte you lose fastest through sweat, plus potassium, magnesium and 1,000mg of taurine in a sugar-free mix you dissolve straight into your bottle. The box holds 16 single-serve sticks at 104g total, so you can treat Ryse Core Hydration Pink Splash as a daily habit rather than something you only reach for before a session. It works for gym-goers, runners, tradies and anyone managing fluid intake through a physical job.

How Ryse Electrolytes works

Sweat carries sodium, potassium and smaller amounts of magnesium and calcium out of your body along with water. Replace only the water and you dilute what's left, which is part of why plain water on its own can leave you still feeling flat after a long session or a hot shift outdoors. Sodium and potassium work together across cell membranes through what's called the sodium-potassium pump, moving fluid into cells and maintaining the pressure gradient that keeps you properly hydrated rather than just wet. Ryse Core Hydration replaces both in a single stick, with 320mg of sodium alongside potassium, so the ratio you're drinking is closer to what your sweat actually contains than plain water alone.

Taurine adds a second layer to this. It's an amino acid your body uses to help regulate how much fluid stays inside your cells, acting as an osmolyte that supports cell volume when you're under heat stress or training for an extended period. Ryse Core Hydration Pink Splash includes 1,000mg of taurine per stick for this reason, paired with 74mg of magnesium citrate, a mineral involved in normal muscle and nerve function. Together these ingredients target the fluid balance side of hydration, rather than leaving you with flavoured water and an electrolyte label.

Why choose Ryse Core Hydration

Most electrolyte tabs and drinks lean on one or two minerals and call it done. Ryse Core Hydration Pink Splash carries a wider spread, and the amounts sit on the label instead of behind a proprietary blend.

• 178mg of vitamin C plus a full B-vitamin set, niacin, B6, B12 and pantothenic acid, for everyday energy metabolism.
• 250mg of CocOganic coconut fruit water powder, a natural source of electrolytes layered on top of the added sodium, potassium and magnesium.
• 200mg of choline per stick, an ingredient you'll see more often in nootropic or energy blends than in a hydration mix.

It's also sugar-free, sweetened with sucralose and acesulfame potassium instead of the sugar many sports drinks use to carry flavour and calories, so you get the sodium and potassium without the extra intake. At $42.70 for 16 sticks, Ryse Core Hydration works out to a per-serve cost you can build into a weekly shop rather than something you only buy occasionally.

Getting the most from it

Mix one stick into 400ml to 600ml of water for a typical training session or a long shift. It works just as well on a hot day when you know you're not drinking enough on your own. Because Ryse Core Hydration Pink Splash carries no caffeine, you can use it around a pre-workout without adding to your stimulant load, and it sits comfortably alongside a protein shake or a scoop from your creatine tub without any overlap in ingredients.

If you're training twice a day or working outdoors through summer, a second stick later on is a reasonable way to keep your sodium and potassium topped up without overthinking it. When plain electrolytes aren't quite what you're after, the wider electrolytes range on NZ Supps covers other formats and flavour profiles, and Ryse Core Hydration Pink Splash sits near the top of that list if you want a straightforward, sugar-free stick you can use daily.
