Around 95% of sodium intake comes from food. Drinking water contributes under half a percent. When food intake drops substantially on GLP-1 medications, electrolyte intake falls with it, and drinking enough is often the harder half. TAKE Hydrate is built to make daily fluid easier: seven B vitamins at a third of the daily value each, with calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium, at ten calories a scoop.*
Hydration Isn't Just Water.
GLP-1 medications reduce food intake significantly. Food is also one of the primary ways the body receives electrolytes, minerals, and B-vitamins every day.
When electrolyte intake drops, the result can feel like fatigue, brain fog, headaches, muscle cramps, and low energy. Some of this reflects what the body is no longer receiving from food. Some of it can come from the medication itself. If symptoms are persistent or severe, that distinction is one for your prescriber.
The hardest part of hydrating on a GLP-1 is drinking anything at all.Hydrate is built for that, at ten calories.
What This Is, And What It Is Not
We would rather be precise than impressive. TAKE Hydrate carries 100mg of sodium per scoop. That is a contribution to your daily intake, not a replacement for what a full day of eating used to provide, and it is not a rehydration solution. It is the lighter electrolyte load in the range: TAKE Build carries ten times Hydrate's sodium in a single serving.
What Hydrate is genuinely good at is getting fluid into a day when plain water is unappealing, and carrying seven B vitamins while it does. For someone who is nauseated and struggling to drink, that is the useful thing, and it is why four flavours exist.*
Why It's Different
Seven B Vitamins at 33% DV
Ten Calories Per Scoop
Built for Reduced Food Intake
Made in an FDA-Registered US Facility
Ingredient Breakdown
Seven B Vitamins, each at 33% DVThiamin, riboflavin, niacin, B6, folate, B12 and pantothenic acid. B vitamins arrive primarily with food, so intake tends to fall when food intake falls, and they are involved in energy metabolism and nerve function.* There is no biotin in Hydrate, so this is seven of the eight rather than a full B complex, and we will not call it one. Biotin is in TAKE Complete at 1,000% DV.
Sodium 100mgAs sodium citrate. Supports hydration and fluid balance, and is often under-consumed when food intake declines.* A modest amount by design.
Potassium 200mgAs potassium citrate. Supports muscle function, nerve signaling, and electrolyte balance.* Commonly obtained through food and often reduced during periods of caloric restriction.
Magnesium 20mg and Calcium 40mgAs magnesium citrate and calcium citrate. Magnesium is involved in muscle function, relaxation, and a wide range of metabolic processes.* Both are commonly under-consumed when food intake is significantly reduced.*

Common Questions
Why am I dehydrated on Ozempic?Around 95% of sodium intake comes from food, and drinking water contributes under half a percent. When food intake drops on Ozempic, that hidden hydration source drops with it, which is why plain water alone often isn't enough to feel properly hydrated.* One important caveat. Persistent vomiting or diarrhea on a GLP-1 medication can cause dehydration serious enough to affect kidney function, and cases requiring dialysis have been reported after approval. An electrolyte drink is not the answer to that. If vomiting or diarrhea is persistent, contact your prescriber.
How does Hydrate compare to TAKE Build?They are less alike than the names suggest, and the difference is sodium. Hydrate carries 100mg per scoop at ten calories, built around seven B vitamins and daily fluid. Build carries 1,000mg of sodium alongside 5,000mg of creatine monohydrate. Build is the heavier electrolyte load and the one that carries creatine; Hydrate is the everyday drink. Taken together they come to 1,100mg of sodium a day, which is worth knowing if you are watching your sodium.*
Do I need electrolytes if I am not sweating much?Electrolyte needs on GLP-1 medications come primarily from reduced food intake rather than sweat loss, so the shortfall comes from the plate.* If you are doing heavy physical work or sweating a great deal, a higher-sodium product is the better fit for that, and Build is the one in this range.
What sweetener does TAKE Hydrate use?Sucralose, alongside natural and artificial flavors. Ten calories per scoop, with 2g of carbohydrate from polydextrose. No sugars are declared on the Supplement Facts panel.
