Electrolyte Blend
Race 500 Sachets deliver a science-backed ratio of electrolytes, namely sodium, potassium and magnesium to help you maintain cellular hydration and electrolyte balance.
500mg Sodium - Optimises hydration via improved fluid absorption, greater fluid retention and maintenance of electrolyte balance.
200mg Potassium - Regulates cellular fluid balance, supporting cardiovascular health, nerve and muscle function.
20mg Marine Magnesium (Aquamin) - Contributes to electrolyte balance, energy-yielding metabolism, nerve and muscle function.
Energy Formula
Energy Hydration Sachets also deliver an evidence based 2:1 ratio of L-Theanine and Caffeine. Studies show that this specific combination of L-Theanine and Caffeine can provide optimal mental and physical benefits, including improved mood, clarity of thought, reaction times, alertness, memory and learning, whilst also offsetting many of the negative side effects often associated with caffeine consumption.
100mg Caffeine - Caffeine is a natural stimulant found in coffee, tea, and other plants, known for boosting alertness and reducing fatigue.
200mg L-Theanine - L-Theanine is an amino acid found in tea, proven to reduce stress and anxiety, promoting calmness and clarity.

Sodium plays a pivotal role in hydration. It increases fluid absorption, fluid retention, maintains electrolyte balance and stimulates thirst, thus increasing fluid intake. Research shows that drinks containing sodium can improve endurance, mood, and reaction times, whilst reducing the risk of cramps and hyponatremia.
Learn morePotassium works closely with sodium to maintain normal cellular fluid balance, nerve impulses, and muscle contractions. Potassium chloride specifically may counteract the effects of too much sodium, maintaining a healthy electrolyte balance.
Learn moreMagnesium is imperative for over 300 enzymatic reactions, including those that produce and use ATP, the body's energy currency. It aids hydration by moving water into cells, essential for muscle function, energy, and performance.
Learn moreCaffeine is known for its effects such as increased alertness, focus, energy and mood, strength, speed and power. However, it can also cause undesirable effects such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, anxiety and jitteriness, and sleep disturbances.
Studies suggest that lower doses (50-100mg), when combined with L-theanine can afford the cognitive benefits whilst minimising unwanted and detrimental physiological side effects.
This synergistic relationship is particularly beneficial in settings where clarity of thought, reaction times and attention are required, such as the workplace, a workout or sports setting.
Learn moreL-Theanine is an amino acid which promotes relaxation whilst countering the physiological stimulatory effects of caffeine through neurochemical mechanisms. Studies show improvement in attention and mood, reduction in anxiety, and improvements in attention switching with a combination of L-theanine and caffeine.
The combination has also been shown to improve static and dynamic movement accuracy as well as reduce task-induced mental fatigue.

When To Use Race Hydration + Energy Sachets
Race Hydration + Energy Sachets have been specifically developed to maximise hydration and energy whenever you need it most.
We recommend that you use Race Hydration + Energy Sachets 30 minutes to 1 hour prior to training sessions.
Caffeine is a stimulant and may interfere with sleep if consumed in the evening. However, research shows that a combination of L-Theanine with lower doses of caffeine can offset the stimulating effects of caffeine and thus not be as detrimental to sleep.
For maximum efficacy, we recommend that you add 1 sachet to 500ml-1L / 17-32OZ of Water.
Race Hydration + Energy Sachets contain three key electrolytes in bioavailable forms: Sodium (as salt/sodium chloride), Potassium (as potassium chloride), and Magnesium (as marine magnesium citrate), scientifically formulated to optimise hydration, and improve mental and physical performance.
You can fully rehydrate within 30 minutes with sufficient fluid and electrolytes.
Check out our article on hydration strategies to find out more.
Exercising at moderate to high intensities can result in significant electrolyte losses and electrolyte imbalances, which can negatively impact mental and physical performance. Water alone is not able to replace those electrolytes. RRace Hydration + Energy Sachets are specifically designed to rapidly restore electrolyte balance and optimise cellular hydration.
We recommend that you add 1 sachet to 500ml-1L of water.
Caffeine is a natural stimulant commonly found in coffee and tea. It works by blocking adenosine, a neurotransmitter that relaxes the brain and makes you feel tired. As a result, it increases alertness, concentration and energy. Research has also shown that caffeine can enhance physical performance, strength, speed, power and endurance, and make hard tasks feel easier.
L-Theanine is an amino acid predominantly found in green and black tea. It is known for its ability to promote relaxation without drowsiness, shown to improve focus and reduce stress when paired with caffeine. Together, Caffeine and L-Theanine are known for their synergistic effects that improve both concentration and calmness.
Race Hydration + Energy Sachets are vegan, making them suitable for those on a plant-based diet.
Race Hydration + Energy Sachets contain 0g of carbohydrates, making them suitable for those on a ketogenic diet.
Individual electrolyte requirements vary significantly. They are dependent upon factors such as sweat rate, sweat electrolyte composition, activity levels, training intensity, environmental conditions and more. It is important to note that Race 500 is meant to supplement your electrolyte intake; it should not be your sole source of electrolytes.
A well balanced daily diet is likely to provide a significant amount of your electrolyte requirements and we highly recommend a food-first approach. However, you can supplement with 1-4 sachets per day, depending on your activity level. For any specific guidance on daily salt and electrolytes intake, you should consult your doctor.
You should also be aware of your caffeine tolerance. Genetic factors can influence the metabolism of caffeine and thus impact how much each individual can tolerate each day, with general guidelines outlining up to 400mg of caffeine safe for healthy adults. 4 sachets of Race 500 delivers 400mg of caffeine, so this would be our recommended limit for daily intake.
Additionally, if you are pregnant or nursing, taking any prescription medications or have any pre-existing medical conditions, please consult a medical professional before consumption and use only as directed.

"Taste is PHENOMENAL! Always gives great energy for every training session and run. It definitely helps me lock in during my workouts and focus on giving my all! Thanks and God bless! Coach Corey www.linktr***/CoreyTheCoach"
"Very refreshing. Instant energy and hydration. Feels like a cold shower in a can. Worked a 96 degree outside detail in the 4th of July it kept me hydrated. Handed out some to coworkers they instantly fell in love."
"Placed an order 3 weeks ago, still haven’t received my package. So I can’t tell you. Also I’m in Hawaii, and I get other packages arrive a lot quicker, so you can’t use that as an excuse."
"Great taste, great energy!"
"I am in the middle of training for a triathlon, specifically my first one. I have noticed a big difference in my training days now having RACE 500 sachets at my disposal. I am excited to keep this in my nutritional rotation!!"
"I've used other energy hydration powders before and they were too salty or just bland. I decided to try Cadence after buying a sample pack on the Feed. I love it. I'm not a big grapefruit person so that took some getting used to but I use it on every run now, especially my long runs. I'm planning on using it as my hydration for the Boston marathon this year. The Core and Rest/Recovery sachets are great as well!"
"Been using these packets for 3 months consistently and can tell the difference in my recovery and performance. 10/10"
"Amazing product, I can’t stop taking these before a run!!! Keep up the good work Cadence"
"Love it one of the best electrolytes I’ve had definitely recommend and taste just like a passion fruit"
"10/10 would recommend! I just went to vitamin shop and bought the Stack to try out the core and recovery as well!"
