The same balanced five-mineral formula, pre-mixed and chilled in a 500 ml bottle — 17 kcal per 100 ml, low sugar, 500 mg of vitamin C. No mixing, no mess, no excuse.
Every VitaSport+ bottle carries the Hydralyte electrolyte base and 500 mg of vitamin C. The three formulas differ in what they add on top and in the moment they are built for — before, during or after.
ignite
Lemon Lime · Vitamins C + D · Magnesium · Zinc
The pre-session bottle. Quick electrolytes and vitamin C before the heat, the match or the shift — light, clean, gone in three gulps.
Before
defence
Orange Blast · Vitamin C · Vitamin D · Zinc
The all-day bottle for sustained heat exposure — the balanced daily profile for midday top-ups on sites, rides and long drives.
During
perform
Multifruit · Vitamin C + D · Biotin · Zinc
The recovery bottle for after: post-training electrolytes without the sugar load of a sports drink, ready where you finish.

Ignite, Defence, Perform — side by side.
Same five-mineral backbone, three different jobs. The table reads left to right through a day — and if you only ever stock one, Defence is the all-rounder.

When to drink
A day in bottles.
Five moments where a chilled bottle beats a mixing jug — and which formula belongs in each one.
06:30
Pre-shift
One bottle from the site fridge before the first task — minerals in before the sun gets to work.
Ignite
12:30
Midday break
The rest-hour top-up on sites and in vans, when the morning’s sweat is already gone.
Defence
17:30
Post-training
Straight after the session, before the drive home — electrolytes without a sports-drink sugar load.
Perform
Match day
Kick-off minus twenty
Light and quick from the touchline cooler — no fizz, no heaviness, gone in three gulps.
Ignite
Travel
Long drive or flight
Air-conditioning dries you out quietly. A bottle in the door pocket covers the leg without a stop.
Defence
Why RTD
Mixing is friction. We removed it.
The powder formats win on pack size and servings per pack. But on a 46°C site, in a delivery van between drops, or at the pitch five minutes before kickoff — a chilled bottle wins on behaviour. The best hydration plan is the one people actually follow.
Same five minerals. Same vitamin C. Low sugar, low carb. Ready.

Sports-drink and Hydralyte powder values from the comparison on the science page. VitaSport+ carries the same five-mineral formula and 500 mg of vitamin C in a 500 ml bottle.
VitaSport+ is the ready-to-drink expression of the Hydralyte formula: the five minerals sweat removes, 500 mg of vitamin C and 17 kcal per 100 ml in a 500 ml bottle you twist open cold. The powder formats remain the workhorses for homes, welfare stations and kit bags, and the physiology behind all of them — why sodium and glucose pull water across the gut wall, why potassium matters as much as sodium — is laid out on the science page. The bottle earns its place where mixing is the thing that stops people drinking: a site fridge at the start of a shift, a cooler in the back of a van, a bench at half-time. Three formulas cover the day — Ignite before, Defence during, Perform after. For crews and coolers, VitaSport+ ships by the case; the for-business page explains scheduled supply and the documentation that comes with it.
For sites & coolers
By the case, on a schedule.
VitaSport+ ships in 24-bottle cases for site fridges, welfare-station coolers, fleet vans and club changing rooms — alongside the powder formats for dispensers. We supply 1,200+ businesses, and in the UAE summer we schedule deliveries so a cooler is never empty when the midday break starts.
Ask for a mixed case plan, a per-head serve schedule, or the HSE documentation that comes with a Hydralyte programme.
No. VitaSport+ is a still, ready-to-drink electrolyte and vitamin drink. There are no bubbles to slow you down, so a 500 ml bottle goes down easily at the end of a hot shift or a hard session.
How much sugar is in a bottle?
VitaSport+ is low in sugar and low in carbohydrates — 17 kcal per 100 ml (85 kcal per 500 ml bottle), against the 20–35 g of sugar a typical sports drink carries in the same volume. The minerals and 500 mg of vitamin C do the work, not the sweetness.
Can children drink VitaSport+?
It is a low-sugar, low-sodium drink, but the bottle is sized as an adult serve. For young children the powder formats are the better fit — they mix to a gentler half-serve for kids from around four years up. If your child has a medical condition, check with your paediatrician first.
How should I store it, and does it need to be cold?
It tastes best chilled and is designed to sit in a site fridge, a cooler bag or a glove box for the day. Keep unopened bottles sealed and out of direct sun, drink within the date printed on the bottle, and finish an opened bottle the same day.
Can I order VitaSport+ in bulk for a site or team?
Yes. VitaSport+ ships by the 24-bottle case, and for welfare stations, crews and events we supply on a schedule alongside the powder formats. Start with the bulk inquiry form or the For Business page, or email hydralyte@bagason.com.
Stock the cooler.
VitaSport+ ships by the case for home fridges and site coolers alike — and bulk formats for welfare stations live one click away.
