Mantra Labs has launched HYDRATE (capitals their own, and we’ll be writing it normally for the rest of the article), a new “broad-spectrum hydration drink mix packed with what the body needs for optimal performance and everyday health.” That means electrolytes, marine minerals (huh?), something called PureWay-C®, something else called Aquamin®, prebiotic fiber and other plant-based, vegan and environmentally friendly ingredients.
