Osmo have created a line of hydration products formulated specifically for women. Their motto is catchy and relatable:
‘We’re not small men’.
Osmo Active has been designed with women in mind and the hydration supplement counters the secondary effects of increased ovarian hormone levels in the blood.
During our menstrual cycle, our internal temperature can vary around 0.5C. We lose more sodium and plasma volumes drop. Osmo hydration helps prevent this.
It’s a powder based sports drink that’s packed full of nutrition to help replace electrolytes, boost energy and keep you hydrated during a workout.
The benefits are:
- Increased Power Output
- Improved Endurance
- Avoid Premenstrual-Related Performance Decline
It’s simpl to use. You use the scoop the comes with the formula. 2 scoops for 500ml and 3 scoops for 750ml. It devolves well and there were no lumps or bumps with it.
It has a subtle taste which is perfect for me. I don’t know about you, but if I have a strong flavour drink while running or exercise it makes me feel really sick. I usually run with very diluted cordial!
I’ve done a few of my longer Sunday runs with this and I’ve been enjoying it so far. Both runs I’ve used it with have gone well and I did feel like I could go longer than the 5-6 miles I had planned.
I’m going to keep using this to aid my half-marathon training!

Ah this sounds really interesting. I never know whether to use hydration products but I think they would be really useful for when trying to do those longer distances! x
Other than water, I’ve never thought of using anything else for drinking during exercise. I also didn’t realise that around that time of the month we might need something different. Seems so obvious to me now! Duh!
