Deep ocean electrolytes and over 87 ionic trace minerals, designed to support prolonged, healthy running performance.
Electrolytes, particularly sodium and potassium, are crucial for regulating fluid balance in the body. For runners, proper hydration is essential to maintain endurance over long distances and prevent dehydration, especially during marathon training or on race day.
Incorporating Buoy’s electrolyte and mineral drops into your hydration strategy ensures that your body retains the necessary fluids to perform at its best, reducing the risk of dehydration and its associated drawbacks.
Long-distance running often leads to muscle cramps, primarily due to electrolyte imbalances caused by excessive sweating. Sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium play pivotal roles in muscle contraction and relaxation.
By using Buoy, you replenish these vital electrolytes, helping to prevent the onset of cramps and enabling you to maintain a consistent running pace without involuntary muscle contractions interrupting your stride.
Recovery is just as important as the run itself. Electrolytes like magnesium and potassium aid in muscle recovery by helping to reduce soreness and facilitate quicker repair of muscle tissue.
Buoy’s electrolyte solutions provide a concentrated source of these essential minerals, speeding up recovery and preparing you for your next run more effectively than water alone.
While water is a runner’s best friend, it alone doesn’t provide the electrolytes lost through sweat. Buoy adds a spectrum of electrolytes to your water, enhancing its effectiveness and ensuring you stay optimally hydrated throughout your runs.
This makes every sip more efficient, ensuring you're not just hydrated but also electrolyte-replenished.
Sugar-laden drinks can provide a quick energy burst but often lead to spikes and crashes that can affect your running performance. Buoy offers a sugar-free alternative that replenishes electrolytes without affecting blood sugar levels, supporting sustained energy release for longer runs.
Runners face unique hydration and electrolyte challenges, with endurance, speed, and recovery heavily dependent on optimal electrolyte balance. Here's how maintaining this balance can significantly improve your running performance.
For runners pushing the limits in marathons or daily jogs, maintaining hydration and electrolyte balance isn't just a part of training—it's essential for peak performance. With up to 10% of essential fluids and electrolytes lost during intense runs, immediate replenishment with Buoy’s electrolyte solutions turns every step into a stride towards achieving your running goals.

Incorporating Buoy’s electrolyte solutions into your running routine can transform your performance and recovery. Here’s how to seamlessly integrate these hydration enhancers into your regimen
Start Hydrated: Begin your day with a glass of water enhanced with a squeeze of Buoy to ensure you're starting off well-hydrated. For longer runs, especially in warm weather, hydrate with Buoy-enhanced drinks 24-48 hours in advance
Tailor Your Intake: Based on the length and intensity of your run, adjust your electrolyte intake. For endurance runs or races, consider an extra serving of Buoy to ensure your electrolyte levels are optimized from the start.
Adjust on the Go: Keep a small bottle of Buoy with you during runs. A quick squeeze into your water bottle can replenish the electrolytes you're losing through sweat, helping you maintain balance and avoid dehydration.
Listen to Your Body: Hydrate at regular intervals, adding Buoy to your water as needed. If you’re feeling fatigued or dizzy, or you notice a drop in performance, it may be time for a quick electrolyte boost.
Immediate Replenishment: After completing your run, mix Buoy with water or a recovery shake to quickly replace lost electrolytes and kickstart the recovery process, aiding in muscle repair and reducing next-day soreness.
Daily Maintenance: Even on non-running days, incorporating Buoy into your hydration routine can help maintain a consistent electrolyte balance, supporting overall muscle function and preparation for your next run.
Weather and Environment: Hot, humid, or high-altitude conditions can increase your electrolyte needs. Adjust your Buoy usage accordingly to combat increased sweat loss and prevent dehydration.
Personal Sweat Rates: Everyone’s body responds differently to exercise. If you tend to sweat more or have experienced dehydration during runs, increase your intake of Buoy to ensure you're adequately replenished.
