Benefits during and after the ride

Physical Performance

Hydration with electrolytes, particularly sodium and potassium has been found to aid performance during prolonged exercise. Studies suggest that staying hydrated is key for performance in strength, power, and high-intensity endurance based exercise, as well as managing thermoregulation mechanisms.

Focus & Energy

Adequate hydration with magnesium is linked to maintenance of normal brain function. Studies show that increased brain magnesium may improve brain activity, influencing nerve signal transmission and preserving blood-brain barrier integrity, which can affect cognitive functions such as memory and attention.

Muscle Cramps Management

Electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium are essential for muscle function and can help prevent cramping during and after exercise. Muscle cramps are often associated with electrolyte imbalances, particularly in hot conditions. Studies show that consuming beverages with electrolytes can delay the onset of muscle cramps compared to plain water.

Muscular Recovery

Electrolytes, especially magnesium, may play a significant role in post-exercise recovery. Studies have shown that magnesium supplementation may significantly reduce muscle soreness, session rating of perceived exertion, acute rating of perceived exertion, and improve perceived recovery.

A meticulously crafted blend of three research-supported electrolytes

600mg

Sodium

Each stick pack of DUSK Hydration contains 600mg of sodium. Sodium is an essential mineral that carries electrical charges in your body. Sodium also regulates fluid balance, which is at the core of hydration.

Athletes can lose several grams of sodium when training, particularly in hot, humid climates. We’ve talked to professional athletes’ trainers and they often log up to a 7-gram sodium loss in an intense session like a multi-stage enduro race.

400mg

Potassium

After sodium and water, we consider potassium to be next in line for hydration. Deficiencies in this key electrolyte can cause headaches, low energy, and muscle cramps. Each pack of DUSK Hydration contains 400mg of potassium, a significantly larger amount than other electrolyte drink mixes out there. 

Potassium is especially important because it works synergistically with sodium to maintain fluid balance. If you don’t eat (or supplement) enough potassium, your body tries to restore this balance by selectively excreting more sodium. Unfortunately, this depletes sodium levels, which really screws up your hydration status.

100mg

Magnesium

Each pack of DUSK Hydration contains 100 mg of magnesium.

Magnesium is a crucial mineral. It aids in energy production, DNA repair, muscle synthesis, restful sleep, and many other things we care about, yet up to 30% of the population may be deficient in magnesium. This is likely why we see positive effects from magnesium supplementation on sleep, strength, anxiety, and depression

Between 400–600 mg daily seems to be a reasonable target for optimal health, and there’s no downside to shooting for the upper end of that range.

Born in the Dolomites, Made in Canada

DUSK began as an idea; proper fuelling isn’t just the key to performance, it’s the key to freedom. Freedom to ride wherever you want, whenever you want. It’s the confidence of knowing you can do anything you put your mind to. It’s the satisfaction of climbing one more hill, and the ecstasy of flying back down.
