What is Flyhidrate?

An in-flight wellbeing drink designed to combat the effects of flying at altitude.

Using all natural ingredients*, it relaxes passengers on take off (aiding those that fear flying), assists in preventing DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) and provides hydration far superior
to that of water, due to dry cabin air.

Then during their flight it will aid in digestion to alleviate cramping and bloating, start to clean up the free radicals caused by flying at 30,000 ft and continue hydrating travellers on their journey.

Finally, on landing it will re-energise passengers so they can hit the ground running, then signal their body to flush out those free radicals so they don’t feel lethargic for days afterwards. All the while, still keeping them well hydrated throughout the flight & up to 18 hours after they land! Flyhidrate is formulated to fight the combination of all the conditions above, commonly
known as Jet Lag.

How does Flyhidrate look after me?

A Fully Tested and Proven Drink System Developed in New Zealand Over a five Year period in conjunction With the University of Otago's Sport Science and Food Science departments. Flyhidrate is a three drink system which has been developed to address the various needs the body requires at each stage when flying long haul at 30,000 ft. We know that one drink cannot do it all. So that is why Flyhidrate places an emphasis on using natural ingredients to achieve the desired functional benefits required to fight the effects of jet lag.

Is Flyhidrate backed by science?

Due to the collaboration with The University of Otago, not only did we have the science behind the development, but also the means to test & study the results as we developed Flyhidrtae. One of the members in the university team had previous experience at NASA where they helped develop a rehydration drink for astronauts, so their input into Flyhidrate had a huge impact in its development. First up, a laboratory-based, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study was conducted using volunteer participants, to examine hydration and related factors during partially-simulated 7 hour flights. Measurements were taken before, during, and at the conclusion of the simulated flight session.

Trials were undertaken in the School of Physical Education inside a climatically- controlled laboratory, but without the cosmic radiation or mildly-hypoxic exposure that would accompany air travel. We then did another study in a hyperbaric chamber to mimic the effects of flying at altitude. After that we undertook to take 100 volunteers on two separate flights from AKL to LA, whereby we took clinical tests before during after the flight to gain insight into the effect Flyhidrate had on those 200 people on a real flight at altitude.

From the same study performed, it revealed that the formulation of Flyhidrate enables the body to remain hydrated far superior to that of water. The studies showed Flyhidrate's ability to naturally encourage a higher fluid retention in the body over a longer period when in a seated position for a length of time.

Can Flyhidrate help me with fewer toilet stops?

So it stands to reason that, not only does Flyhidrate help the body maintain a favourable water balance to stay hydrated, it then has the added benefit of less trips to the toilet due to reduced urine output. A real positive for anyone on a long haul flight, as our study shows a reduced urine output was evident by an average of 35% after taking the first drink - Boarding Pass. This also proved similar after the full 7 hour simulated flight done in the lab.

 

Why 3 drinks?

Because it just isn’t possible any other way! One drink alone cannot provide all the benefits required. If we didn't deliver the ingredients in such a systematic way to the body, which requires assistance at different stages of a long-haul flight, then we wouldn't be truly fighting the effects of Jet Lag. Some ingredients need to be delivered at specific times to ensure the functional benefits can work at the appropriate time.

Are there any issues with Airport Security?

We’ve got it covered! All packs come with a clear zip-lock Security Bag for convenience. You will breeze through Airport Security (including transit lounges) as long as you place all concentrate vials in the clear zip-lock bag provided as they are all well below the 100ml security requirement.

All natural Ingredients

No prescription needed, and no harsh chemicals or known side effects. You can travel well knowing you can trust what you're putting into your body because it has been formulated using natural ingredients, 29 in total, with 18 of them being fully active on the body, working to keep you healthy, happy & hydrated! "Ensures you are adding nothing extra in your body that you do not need" Using natural ingredients comes with its challenges, like trying to get the best flavour profiles from some of nature’s most effective extracts. After extensive testing, 90% of the population found the drink more than acceptable from a taste perspective, enjoying the benefits that Flyhidrate delivers. So we've managed to create a drink system that not only works naturally but also tastes great too. Not only that as we said before, it’s GLUTEN FREE, WHEAT FREE & DAIRY FREE!
