What it is

Understand the ingredient or product system.

Hydration products combine water-compatible mineral sources with flavor, acidity, sweetness and delivery-format requirements. Electrolyte identity and amount must be defined per serving.

Packets, tubs, drops and ready-to-drink formats impose different needs for solubility, taste, flow, concentration and packaging. Ingredient selection should follow the complete product brief.
