What is this product?
ROC
2O Sports Drink Mix is a powder you add to water. When mixed with 13.5 fl. oz. (400 mL) of water, it has an osmolality close to that of blood (~295 mOsm/kg) that enables optimal fluid absorption compared to water alone. It contains electrolytes, macronutrients, micronutrients, and phytonutrients not typically found in purified water. It replenishes and rebalances electrolytes (sodium and potassium) lost during physical activity. Electrolytes enhance taste and facilitate absorption of fluids, contributing to a more complete rehydration.
How does ROC2O Sports Drink Mix differ from the other beverage offerings in the NUTRILITE® Sports Nutrition line?
ROC
2O Sports Drink Mix is specially formulated to provide optimal hydration as well as replenishment of carbohydrate and electrolytes that are lost during intense and/or prolonged physical activity.
NUTRILITE Sports Drink provides carbohydrate and electrolyte benefits similar to ROC
2O Sports Drink in an RTD form.
NUTRILITE Sport Twist Tubes help replenish electrolytes but they do not contain enough carbohydrate to sustain an individual through intense and/or prolonged physical activity. They are more appropriate for light-to-moderate activity that lasts less than one hour.
The ROC
2O Antioxidant Enhanced Drink Mix provides an antioxidant-rich beverage containing the benefits of Red Orange Complex® (ROC) along with the vitamins niacin, B6, pantothenic acid, B12, C, and E. ROC
2O Antioxidant Enhanced Drink Mix provides a convenient way to supplement the diet and help support an active and healthy lifestyle as well as exercise lasting less than one hour.
How do I use this product?
Just add the contents of one stick pack to 13.5 fl. oz. (400 mL) of water. An easy way to do this is to drink some water from a 16.9 fl. oz. bottle of water, add powder, shake, and enjoy.
When would I drink it?

What makes ROC2O special?
It contains antioxidants, such as Red Orange Complex (ROC), which has been clinically shown to reduce oxidative stress caused by an active life, environmental factors, and a less-than-perfect diet.* It also includes the electrolytes sodium and potassium, so it is a portable alternative to RTD sports drinks.
