When you're pushing yourself—whether during a high-intensity crit, a long day at altitude, or a session on the trainer—your hydration strategy can significantly impact your performance. We are intentional about everything we do, including what we put in our bottles. That's why we've chosen to partner with Zym Hydration.

But what exactly is Zym? And why is it our preferred hydration solution?

Simple, Effective Hydration—No Junk, No Sugar

Zym is an electrolyte hydration tablet designed specifically for endurance athletes who need real performance, rather than just flavor. You drop one tablet into water, let it fizz, and enjoy a clean, optimized hydration mix—free from sugar, dyes, and artificial ingredients.

Each tablet contains a scientifically balanced blend of:

  • Sodium (the main driver of fluid retention and muscle function)

  • Potassium (essential for muscle contraction and cardiovascular health)

  • Magnesium (helps prevent cramping and supports recovery)

  • Calcium (important for nerve signaling and performance at high intensities)

  • A blend of B vitamins (to support energy metabolism)

This formulation is designed to replace what you lose through sweat—nothing more, nothing less.

Why It Works for Us

We train hard, whether indoors or outdoors, at high elevations, in heat, and under pressure. Zym is portable, easy on the stomach, and doesn't leave a sugary aftertaste. This is crucial when you're in the middle of a race or three hours into a base ride. In a multi-day stage race or back-to-back days of criterium racing, staying hydrated is vital for peak performance. Starting a day even slightly dehydrated can hinder recovery and make tackling challenging terrain much tougher. Maintaining hydration is essential to ensure that you can race hard and recover effectively between events.

With Zym, we benefit from:

  • Clean ingredients

  • Rapid absorption

  • Convenience on the go

  • No sugar crashes

In short: it works. No frills, no fillers.

The Zym Mission: Fuel Better, Feel Better

Zym's mission is to simplify hydration for athletes who demand more from their bodies. Their focus isn't on flashy marketing or gimmicky flavors; instead, it's about delivering performance hydration that is easy to use, reliable, and easy to digest.

We appreciate this approach because, for us, performance isn't about hype—it's about results.
