What's in Hydrate + Replenish: A Complete Ingredient Glossary

Key Takeaways

  • Hydrate + Replenish is potassium-forward (300mg potassium vs. 140mg sodium), designed to complement your body's need for both electrolytes with an emphasis on potassium.*

  • Every electrolyte — sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride — is present in a thoughtfully balanced ratio, not just loaded with sodium like most sports drinks.*

  • D-Ribose supports ATP energy production at the cellular level, so hydration goes deeper than just replacing lost fluids.*

  • The whole food base features 10 organic superfoods — wild blueberry, pomegranate, coconut water, goji, hibiscus, and more — at real, meaningful doses (not pixie dust amounts).

  • Zero artificial sweeteners. Zero sugar alcohols. Sweetened only with stevia extract.

What Is Hydrate + Replenish?

Hydrate + Replenish is Farmana's whole food hydration blend, formulated to do more than replace sweat. It combines a complete electrolyte panel with D-Ribose for cellular energy support and a dense organic superfood base — all in one scoop, one glass, one daily habit. The blend is intentionally potassium-forward, because intracellular fluid is dominated by potassium — and most conventional sports drinks emphasize sodium instead.] Every ingredient is here for a reason, dosed to actually work, and grounded in Farmana's Farm to Function philosophy — real food elevated by science. It's built for mornings, afternoon slumps, travel days, or any time your body needs more than plain water.

The Hydrate + Replenish Ingredient Glossary

Barley Grass (190mg)

Barley grass is the young leaf of the barley plant, harvested before the grain forms and dried into a nutrient-dense powder. It's packed with chlorophyll, flavonoids (including the antioxidants saponarin and lutonarin), vitamins A, C, and E, and a broad spectrum of minerals, as detailed in research published in Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity. Barley grass may help support antioxidant defenses and overall cellular wellness.* In Hydrate + Replenish, it contributes to the green-nutrient density of the whole food base, adding phytonutrient depth alongside the blend's electrolyte and superfruit profile.

Calcium (11mg)

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body, best known for supporting bone structure — but it also plays a key role in muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and fluid balance, according to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements. In an electrolyte formula, calcium matters because it works alongside potassium, magnesium, and sodium to regulate cellular voltage and fluid movement across membranes.* Hydrate + Replenish includes 11mg as part of a complete, balanced electrolyte panel — the full picture of what your body actually needs to stay hydrated at the cellular level.

Chloride (200mg)

Chloride is the electrolyte you almost never see listed on a hydration label, but it's essential. It's the major anion in extracellular fluid and works directly with sodium and potassium to regulate fluid balance, support proper pH, and maintain osmotic pressure across cell membranes.* Chloride also plays a role in digestion as a component of stomach acid. Farmana includes 200mg — a meaningful dose — because complete electrolyte coverage means accounting for the ions that rarely make the spotlight, not just the flashy ones.

Coconut Water (1,426mg)

Coconut water is one of nature's most naturally balanced hydration sources, rich in potassium, magnesium, and natural electrolytes. A study comparing coconut water to sports drinks found that it was equally effective for rehydration following exercise-induced dehydration, thanks to its naturally high potassium content, as documented in research published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. At 1,426mg, coconut water is a cornerstone of the Hydrate + Replenish whole food base — not a trace amount, but a real serving that contributes meaningful natural electrolytes alongside the blend's functional panel.*

D-Ribose (380mg)

D-Ribose is a naturally occurring sugar that serves as the structural backbone of ATP — the molecule your cells use for energy. Unlike glucose, ribose is not burned for fuel; it's used to rebuild adenine nucleotides and support the body's ongoing ATP production. Research published in Advances in Bioscience and Clinical Medicine shows that supplemental D-Ribose may help support ATP recovery and mitochondrial function, particularly when energy demands are high.* In Hydrate + Replenish, D-Ribose is the functional bridge between hydration and energy — because true replenishment happens at the cellular level, not just in your blood plasma.

FiberSMART — Tapioca Fiber (686mg)

FiberSMART is Farmana's name for its organic tapioca fiber, a clean prebiotic fiber sourced from cassava root. Prebiotic fibers pass undigested to the colon, where they feed beneficial gut bacteria and may help support a balanced digestive environment.* In a hydration blend, fiber plays a specific functional role: it helps slow the absorption of fluids and electrolytes, supporting more gradual, sustained uptake rather than a quick flush through your system. At 686mg, FiberSMART is one of the reasons Hydrate + Replenish hydrates gradually rather than in a spike-and-crash pattern. It also contributes to the settling you'll notice at the bottom of the glass — visible proof of real whole food at work.

Goji (761mg)

Goji berries (Lycium barbarum) are a traditional superfruit from Asia, long prized for their dense nutrient profile. They're one of the richest dietary sources of zeaxanthin — a carotenoid that concentrates in the macula of the eye — as well as vitamin C, zinc, and polysaccharides with antioxidant properties. A clinical trial in Nutrients found that daily goji supplementation significantly increased macular pigment optical density and zeaxanthin levels. In Hydrate + Replenish, 761mg of goji contributes antioxidant depth and visual health nutrients alongside the blend's hydrating base.* Real food, real dose.

Hibiscus (475mg)

Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is a botanical powerhouse loaded with anthocyanins — the deep-red pigments responsible for its vivid color and robust cell-protective activity. Research in Nutrients documents hibiscus polyphenols' multi-targeted antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties across cell and animal models. In Hydrate + Replenish, hibiscus does double duty: it lends the blend its Blueberry Hibiscus flavor profile while delivering a meaningful 475mg of polyphenol-rich whole food.* It's also why your glass looks as good as it tastes — that color is real anthocyanin nutrition, not food dye.

Lemon (380mg)

Lemon is a clean, functional citrus that contributes natural vitamin C, bioflavonoids, and citric acid — compounds that support antioxidant status and the body's ability to absorb non-heme minerals.* In a hydration blend specifically, citric acid plays a supporting role in the Krebs cycle, the cellular energy pathway your mitochondria use to generate ATP. Lemon also brightens flavor naturally, which matters in a formula sweetened only by stevia. At 380mg of whole lemon powder, you're getting the whole fruit matrix — not just ascorbic acid isolated from the rest.

Magnesium (95mg)

Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including ATP synthesis, muscle and nerve function, and — critically — fluid regulation, according to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements. It's also one of the electrolytes most commonly depleted through sweat, which is why its absence from many hydration products is a genuine gap. Hydrate + Replenish includes 95mg to meaningfully support cellular hydration, muscle function, and the biochemical machinery that keeps energy production running smoothly.* This is a purposeful dose, not a token amount.

Pomegranate Juice (1,711mg)

Pomegranate is among the most antioxidant-dense foods studied, with research showing pomegranate juice exhibits antioxidant activity roughly three times higher than red wine or green tea by multiple measurement methods. Its polyphenols — including punicalagins and ellagic acid — may help support cardiovascular wellness and protect cells from oxidative stress.* At 1,711mg, pomegranate juice is one of the largest ingredients in the entire Hydrate + Replenish formula by weight. This is the Farm to Function standard in action: if it's worth putting in the blend, it's worth putting in at a dose that counts.

Potassium (300mg)

Potassium is the primary electrolyte inside your cells — and the reason Hydrate + Replenish is described as potassium-forward. While most sports drinks emphasize sodium, your intracellular fluid is dominated by potassium, and adequate intake is essential for maintaining proper fluid balance, supporting healthy muscle contractions, and nerve signal transmission, according to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements. At 300mg versus 140mg sodium, this formula prioritizes the electrolyte most conventional sports drinks underdeliver. Most adults fall far short of potassium recommendations, making this ratio not just different — but genuinely intentional.

Purslane (143mg)

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea) is a succulent herb and one of the most nutritionally overlooked plants in the Western diet. It holds the distinction of being one of the richest plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids — specifically alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) — as well as vitamins A, C, and E and the antioxidant glutathione, as confirmed in research published in The Scientific World Journal. It also provides potassium and magnesium, making it a natural fit in a hydration blend. Purslane is the kind of ingredient you won't find in conventional hydration drinks — and that's exactly the point.

Sodium (140mg)

Sodium is the primary electrolyte in extracellular fluid and plays a critical role in fluid regulation, nerve function, and nutrient transport across cell membranes. In a hydration formula, sodium helps stimulate thirst and promotes fluid retention — making it a functional anchor for any electrolyte blend. Hydrate + Replenish includes 140mg, a purposeful amount that supports hydration without overdoing it. The 300mg:140mg potassium-to-sodium ratio here is the key distinction from conventional sports drinks, which typically flip the script with high sodium and minimal potassium.* Both matter. Balance is the point.

Stevia Extract

Stevia is a natural, zero-calorie sweetener derived from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant. It provides sweetness without affecting blood sugar, and without the digestive discomfort associated with sugar alcohols like erythritol or sorbitol. Farmana chose stevia over artificial sweeteners (sucralose, acesulfame potassium, aspartame) because the clean label commitment is non-negotiable. When you're building a blend this clean — organic whole foods, therapeutic electrolytes, no fillers — using an artificial sweetener at the finish line would undercut the whole formula. Stevia is the right call.

Vitamin C (470mg)

Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant that supports immune function, collagen synthesis, and — directly relevant here — the absorption of non-heme iron and the regeneration of other antioxidants like vitamin E, according to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements. In a hydration context, vitamin C also plays a role in protecting cells from the oxidative stress that exercise and heat exposure generate.* At 470mg, this is a meaningful functional dose — roughly 5x the RDA — designed to deliver real antioxidant support alongside the electrolyte panel, not just check a box on the ingredient label.

Wild Blueberry (2,377mg)

Wild blueberries are the star of the Hydrate + Replenish whole food base and the largest ingredient by weight at 2,377mg. Unlike cultivated blueberries, wild varieties are smaller, more concentrated, and packed with a broader spectrum of anthocyanins. Research published in Foods documents blueberry anthocyanins' potent antioxidant and cell-protective properties. Anthocyanins account for up to 84% of blueberries' total antioxidant capacity and help neutralize free radicals that accumulate during physical stress and dehydration.* In this blend, wild blueberry isn't a flavoring agent — it's a nutritional anchor.

Zinc (5mg)

Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in over 200 enzymatic reactions, including immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, and antioxidant defense, according to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements. In a hydration blend, zinc earns its place by supporting the cellular repair and recovery processes that follow physical exertion — and by reinforcing the immune-protective role of the antioxidants already in the formula.* At 5mg (roughly 45% of the Daily Value), this is a purposeful dose that supports daily function without overshooting the mark.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Hydrate + Replenish different from a regular sports drink?

Many conventional sports drinks emphasize sodium, use artificial sweeteners, and rely on synthetic flavors and colors rather than whole food ingredients. Hydrate + Replenish flips that model. It's potassium-forward (300mg potassium vs. 140mg sodium), which more closely mirrors the electrolyte balance your cells prefer. It's also built on an organic whole food base — 2,377mg of wild blueberry, 1,711mg of pomegranate, 1,426mg of coconut water — rather than synthetic flavors. And it includes D-Ribose, a cellular energy compound you won't find in any conventional sports drink.

When is the best time to take Hydrate + Replenish?

It's versatile. First thing in the morning is the most common use case — you've been fasting and losing fluids overnight, and your body is ready for electrolytes. It's also well-suited for the mid-afternoon energy slump, pre- or post-workout hydration, and travel days when air conditioning and recycled air can quietly dehydrate you. Talk to your healthcare provider if you have specific health conditions or take medications that affect electrolyte balance before adding any new supplement to your routine.

Why does my drink have sediment at the bottom?

That settling is a feature, not a flaw. It's visible proof that Hydrate + Replenish is made with real whole food powders — wild blueberry skins, pomegranate, barley grass, purslane — not just isolated compounds dissolved in water. We celebrate the settling at the bottom of the glass: a simple stir or shimmy redistributes all that whole food goodness. If your hydration drink never settles, that's worth asking questions about.

Is Hydrate + Replenish safe for daily use?

Yes. The ingredients in Hydrate + Replenish are whole foods and well-studied nutrients at doses appropriate for daily use. It's gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, non-GMO, and contains no artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols. That said, if you're pregnant, nursing, or managing a health condition, we always recommend consulting your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.

Does Hydrate + Replenish contain caffeine or stimulants?

No. Hydrate + Replenish contains zero caffeine and zero stimulants. The energy support in this formula comes from D-Ribose, which supports ATP production at the cellular level — not from nervous system stimulation. It's safe to take any time of day, including in the evening.
