Product details
Where this label sits
Emergen-C Hydration+ Sports Drink Mix is one of the hydration mixes in the Scoop Sense database. Every active ingredient on the panel is listed with its own dose — nothing is hidden inside a blend total. It runs 18 servings per container at the full labeled serving. Everything on this page comes from the manufacturer's supplement facts panel as of July 2026 — never from the marketing page.
Key ingredients & studied doses

- Magnesium · 120 mg. Magnesium supports normal muscle and nerve function as part of electrolyte balance.
- Vitamin C · 250 mg. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that supports normal immune system function.
Flavors & sweetener
Sold in Orange Spritz and Raspberry Splash, sweetened with a small amount of added sugar plus stevia leaf extract.
Who it's best for
Flavour and light top-ups rather than replacing a real sweat loss — the sodium here is well under the amount hydration research works with. Derived from the label figures above — not medical advice.
How we log this label
Every entry is built the same way: we read the current supplement facts panel, log each disclosed dose, compare it against the amounts used in published research, flag proprietary blends, and state the cautions plainly. The full methodology explains each step.
This label against the research
How we evaluate labelsEach bar shows the amount commonly used in published human research, and where this label's dose falls against it. Research amounts are context, not a recommendation — they are not doses, and nothing here is medical advice.

Sodium160 mg
The studied range is 300–700 mg of sodium per litre of fluid, and this label does not state the volume to mix a serving into — so its concentration, which is what the range measures, cannot be worked out from the panel. Check the mixing instructions on the pack.

Common questions about Emergen-C Hydration+ Sports Drink Mix
How much sodium is in Emergen-C Hydration+ Sports Drink Mix?
160 mg per serving, alongside 5 g of sugar. Sodium is the main electrolyte lost in sweat, but needs vary widely with sweat rate and diet — and daily sodium from food counts toward the same total.
Does Emergen-C Hydration+ Sports Drink Mix disclose every dose?
Yes — the label lists an individual amount for each ingredient, with no proprietary blends. That is what the "label fully disclosed" tag on Scoop Sense means, and it is what lets each dose be compared against the amounts used in published research.
