Stay hydrated out there

Your guide to all-things electrolytes.

Learn how to upgrade your water and explore deliciously functional drink mixes and drops.

Staying up on your hydration is one of the simplest ways to feel good everyday. And while hitting water goals is always a cause for celebration, sometimes water alone isn’t enough. Hot weather, busy days, intense exercise, and a host of health conditions can require more replenishment than just your typical H2O. That’s where electrolyte drinks come in. At Grove, we curate good-for-you hydration essentials that go beyond basic, free from artificial sweeteners, artificial dyes, and fillers — plus, many with sustainable packaging that helps reduce plastic waste with every swig.

When and why you might need functional hydration

Functional drinks help replace the electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals lost throughout the day — whether through exercise, travel, sun exposure, or simply being too busy to drink up. The best formulas work with your body, using simple ingredients like salt and coconut water, to help restore balance and boost performance without the sugar crash that often comes with popular sports drinks. And when you're dehydrated, even minimally so, it can impact everything from mood and energy to digestion, skin health, and sleep quality.[2] Dr. Kim Celmer, ND and Grove Wellness Advisor, elaborates: “Low level dehydration can cause headaches, fatigue, brain fog, lower immunity, increased hunger and food cravings, dry skin and chapped lips. Adding an electrolyte formula can help you stay hydrated.”
