PREPD Hydration

PREPD is the result of over 20 years of collaborative medical research between Flinders and Yale universities. By using a unique, patent-pending starch, PREPD can improve starting hydration and enhance fluid absorption during exertion as well as rehydration in recovery. This finding was a massive win for endurance sports – and it happened right here in Adelaide.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What types of energy products does PREPD offer?

PREPD has two main products: Prime and Recover. Prime is designed to be consumed before exercise, while Recover is best used after a race or training session. This two-step formula has been found to reduce cramping and fatigue, decrease thirst during exercise, increase energy production, aid in post-exercise recovery and increase an athlete's ability to maintain consistent performance.

2. Are PREPD products suitable for different dietary preferences?

Some PREPD products are vegan, while others contain lactose. Be sure to check individual product details and nutrition facts for the specific dietary information you may need.

3. Are there any PREPD products with caffeine that I can eat for an extra boost?

PREPD doesn't offer caffeinated products at this stage. Fortunately Aid Station stocks a wide range of caffeinated products, so take a look at our best-selling energy chews, energy gels and energy stroopwafels.

4. What products are best for athletes’ cramps?

Pickle juice has gained popularity for its potential to relieve muscle cramps due to its high sodium and electrolyte content. Some athletes believe that its quick ingestion can help alleviate cramps, possibly due to the sodium-triggering nerve receptors that influence muscle contractions.

5. When is the best time to consume PREPD for optimal results?

Recommended consumption instructions can be found in each PREPD product description. Consumption timing will depend on the product and your performance goals.

6. What flavours do PREPD gels come in?
