What are functional drinks and when should you use them?

The benefits of functional drinks go beyond basic hydration and quenching thirst. It’s all thanks to the nutrients they contain – primarily vitamins and minerals that may have a positive effect on the body. Discover what OSHEE functional drinks contain and when they’re the right choice for you.

What are functional drinks used for?

The properties of these products depend largely on the active ingredients used. This is clearly visible in the OSHEE DROP IN line , which includes hydroconcentrates with various functions. They don’t just hydrate – they also support bodily functions by providing a wide range of essential nutrients.

Among them are electrolyte hydroconcentrates . These are a great choice for active people and athletes – both professional and amateur. They hydrate the body, support energy metabolism and help fight fatigue and tiredness. You can also use them as anti-dehydration drinks, for instance during hot weather or when dealing with certain health issues (especially those involving fever). Importantly, they contain no sugar (OSHEE ZERO), so you don’t have to worry about unnecessary calories.

You’ll also find vitamin hydroconcentrates . As the name suggests, these contain vitamins such as biotin, niacin, vitamin B6 and B12. They help replenish important nutrients that support overall wellbeing. They may protect against oxidative stress, improve the condition of skin, hair and nails, and support muscle and cognitive function. There’s absolutely nothing stopping you from using them daily – especially since preparing them is so easy. Just pour the right amount into a glass, bottle or sports bottle, top up with still or sparkling water from a soda maker, and mix.

All of this helps define what a functional drink actually is – it’s a product that goes beyond hydration. It supplies the body with additional nutrients that can help fight tiredness, reduce fatigue and maintain electrolyte balance. In this way, it offers more than plain water, which only (or rather, primarily) hydrates.

When should you reach for OSHEE functional drinks?

Now that we’ve covered what functional drinks are, let’s focus on when to use them. As you can guess, the range of applications is quite broad. And no, it’s not just for athletes – although many do use them, both during training and competitions.

Your choice of hydroconcentrate matters. If you’re training, electrolyte drinks – for example, those with magnesium and potassium – are ideal. They help you replenish fluids and nutrients lost during intense physical activity.

Thanks to these properties, electrolyte hydroconcentrates can also help combat dehydration caused by illness, hangovers or high temperatures. One OSHEE DROP IN bottle makes up to 10 litres of drink, giving you a long-lasting supply. And since they contain no sugar (OSHEE ZERO), they hydrate without extra calories.

Vitamin drinks, also available in hydroconcentrate form, work a bit differently. Think of them when you want to supplement your diet with essential nutrients. These drinks are perfect for work, school or travel. With ingredients like biotin, iodine, zinc, vitamin B6 and B12, they help with fatigue, hormonal balance, muscles, and even support hair, skin and nails.

OSHEE DROP IN – more than just hydration

Functional drinks made with OSHEE DROP IN hydroconcentrates are versatile products you can use in various situations. They’re great during training, on hot days, when facing dehydration or when building a balanced diet that meets your nutritional needs.

Hydroconcentrates are highly efficient – each bottle makes up to 10 litres of your chosen drink. Simply pour it into a sports bottle or thermal bottle and take it with you to work, on the road, to the gym – anywhere you need it.
