Precision Fuel & Hydration PH 1500 Drink Mix review

Precision Fuel & Hydration sells electrolytes by strength, and PH 1500 is the strongest of the three. The product page describes it as a very strong drink for starting hydrated and for heavy or salty sweaters during exercise. One packet goes into 500ml of water and mixes to a 3% carbohydrate solution, which the brand calls hypotonic for faster water absorption. The packets are Informed Sport certified, which is the detail that sets it apart for athletes in drug-tested sports, and the same formula comes as tablets and capsules. A sweat test on the site helps decide between PH 500, PH 1000 and PH 1500. The drawbacks: from our location the page showed euro prices and an EU warehouse, so we could not confirm the US price, a box holds only 8 packets, and the strongest version is more sodium than many lighter sweaters need.
