Mantra Labs Sent Me HYDRATE and Chrono Bundle Supplements to Test and Review

If there's an easy way to get vitamins and minerals and electrolytes, that easily fits into my lifestyle, I want to know about it.

Mantra Labs Chrono Bundle and HYDRATE supplements provide a very easy way that definitely fits any lifestyle.

HYDRATE is available in Lemonade and Fruit Punch Flavors. Both taste really, really, really good! This photo shows the individual packets that are perfect anytime, anywhere. (Image: ThisOldRunner)

The Chrono Bundle is a thoughtful series of supplements designed to support you Day In and Day Out. Mantra sent me a 15-count package each of RISE, GO and REST. (Image: ThisOldRunner)

Mantra Labs Chrono Bundle

What are Chrono Bundle supplements? The Bundle is based on the idea that our biological clock has specific nutritional needs throughout a 24-hour day.

Your body's daily clock runs on circadian rhythms. These rhythms are physical, mental and behavioral. Rhythms are effected by light, darkness, body temperature and your sleep-wake cycles.

Mantra Labs' Chrono Bundle supplements are a way to nurture your natural bio-rhythms so you can maximize your potential during each phase of the day and night.

The Chrono Bundle gives your body biorhythm-matched vitamins, electrolytes, 72+ trace marine minerals, nootropics, 30+ immune-boosting antioxidants, and recovery adaptogens day in and day out.

OMG, this is such a delicious flavor. CITRUS COCONUT, People! (Photo: ThisOldRunner)

I enjoyed RISE hot and cold. It goes well in a travel cup for your morning commute (to the office, or the back bedroom!) (Photo: ThisOldRunner)

Start Your Day with RISE

RISE helps you get focused and power up with nootropics, our plant-based endurance blend, oceanic electrolyte hydration, immune-boosting antioxidants, and 100% of your recommended daily dose of key vitamins.

RISE Benefits:

Science-backed, synergistic formulation
Simple to use and perfectly dosed
0 calories and 0 sugar
Organically sweetened
No caffeine jitters
Delicious, natural citrus coconut flavor

I absolutely love swapping RISE for a cup of coffee. The flavor is awesome, and it tastes good in a protein shake, still water or juice or in sparkling water.

Eliminate Mid Day Slumps with GO

Tropical berry GO is a good pick-me-up when you need some extra energy, but don't want caffeine jitters. Use it pre-workout or anytime for a clean energy boost from a plant-powered recovery blend, oceanic electrolyte hydration, and vitamins.

I love the flavor, and how simple it is to use. I carry packets of GO in my bag so if I'm out and about and need a boost, I have it ready to pour into my water bottle.

Tuck a couple into your work bag so you're ready to defeat that afternoon slump. (Photo: ThisOldRunner)

GO Benefits:

Use pre-workout, mid-workout or post-workout to optimize energy and recovery
Science-backed, synergistic formulation
Clean energy with 100mg caffeine from tea leaves
Simple to use and perfectly dosed
0 calories and 0 sugar
Organically sweetened
Delicious, natural tropical berry flavor

Calm + Relaxation = Great Sleep

Sleep is so important to good health and recovery, yet it's often overlooked. Good sleep improves your cognition, immunity, energy, strength, mental health and overall wellness.

Mantra Labs' REST formula is an expertly formulated, doctor-backed master sleep blend. It contains magnesium, melatonin, GABA, L-Theanine, and adaptogen herbs in a soothing lemon chamomile drink.

REST helps you relax, fall asleep and stay asleep. You'll wake feeling rested and supercharged.

REST Benefits:

Non habit-forming, no grogginess
Doctor-backed, synergistic formulation
Simple to use and perfectly dosed
0 calories and 0 sugar
Organically sweetened
Delicious, natural lemon chamomile flavor

I like that I can take a packet or two on a trip or overnight stay. (Photo: ThisOldRunner)

Mmmm, off to sleep. (Photo: ThisOldRunner)

Take REST 30 minutes before bed as part of your wind-down ritual. Mix with 12-24 ounces of water for desired taste. You can enjoy REST hot as a warm tea before bed.

Sometimes, I like to mix REST with sparkling water for my own version of a nightcap. I look forward to my nighttime ritual of REST before bed. It's a soothing way to relax at night.

Mantra Labs HYDRATE in Lemonade and Fruit Punch

HYDRATE leads the industry by providing 1,200+ mg of 6 electrolytes to hydrate better.

Mantra Labs created their broad-spectrum super hydration with natural oceanic electrolytes, marine minerals and vitamins.

HYDRATE outshines typical hydration drinks by not adding tons of sugar. Everything in it is all natural with no sugar and nothing artificial. You hydrate better naturally.

HYDRATE Benefits:

1,200+ mg of 6 broad spectrum electrolytes hydrates better.
Each serving contains 100% RDA of Vitamin C and B12
Prebiotic fiber supports a healthy gut, glucose levels and digestion
Science-backed, synergistic formulation
Simple to use and perfectly dosed
0 sugar
Organically sweetened

How to Use HYDRATE

You can drink HYDRATE any time for fast hydration.

Mix a packet or scoop with 12-24 ounces of water. Use more or less water for your desired taste. It blends easily with a spoon or shaker bottle. No lumps or bumps, just tasty hydrations.

I like both flavors. But, I'll admit the first to run out was the Fruit Punch flavor!

I take HYDRATE on my long runs, and drink it anytime I'm thirsty during the day.

HYDRATE packets are great for on-the-go athletes. Pour a packet into your water bottle and shake it. Tuck an extra packet into your pocket or bag for refueling later. (Photo: ThisOldRunner)

Sometimes, I get fancy and put my HYDRATE into something other than a water bottle. It tastes great in any beverage holder! (Photo: ThisOldRunner)

My Final Thoughts on Mantra Labs Supplements

These taste great, which means you're more likely to use them. The price is reasonable, and in line with similar products on the market.

I love that these are all natural, non-gmo, vegan, sugar free, keto, gluten free, soy free and packed full of vitamins, minerals and electrolytes.

The packaging is perfect. The individual serving packets are easy to grab and go. You don't have to worry about a thing. AND, big plus here: the packets are easy to open. You can easily tear it while running a race.

The canisters provide less packaging, and bulk product — another great option.

It's hard to pick a favorite. I really do like every flavor available. I used more liquid with the Lemonade HYDRATE because I'm not a big fan of tart flavors, but that's a personal preference.

I'm very happy I tested this product, and am sure I'll continue to use it. 5 Stars from me!

A Game of This or That PLUS a Discount Code for Mantra Labs Supplements

11/12/2021

One of the fun features on Instagram Stories is you can ask live questions, and viewers can respond.

The Poll feature gives people a choice of two answers. Another option is to ask a direct question and have people fill in their answer. (A third way is to have people screenshot an image, then circle their answers on it.)

I thought about how I've used Mantra Labs supplements over the past month, and wondered if other runners felt the same way I do about them.

So I asked!

Below are the answers people gave to my game of "This or That" on Instagram.

Let's Play a Game of This or That!

Morning Beverage: Coffee or Mantra Labs RISE?

Swapping a cup of Mantra Labs RISE for your morning coffee is a good idea. First, there's the flavor. RISE is a wonderful mix of citrus and coconut.

Bonus points for the vitamins and minerals in RISE. My favorite brew isn't offering me that! You get Nootropics for alertness + an array of plant-based antioxidants. Vitamins and minerals round out your supplements. Learn more at GoMantraLabs.com

You can drink RISE hot or cold. I've done both, and find it a refreshing change a couple of times a week.

Coffee or RISE as Your Morning Bevie?

I was Surprised That Everyone Chose RISE!

Sugary Drink or HYDRATE to Quench Your Thirst?

The interesting thing I learned from HYDRATE is that you don't need all the sugar that comes in most recovery drinks. (Yes, there are cases where severe dehydration requires sugar, but normal workouts don't put you in that state.)

I was skeptical about taste without sugar, but am happy to report that HYDRATE nailed it with their all natural Lemonade and Fruit Punch! Plus, each serving has vitamins and minerals.

I like both flavors, but really, really, really like the Fruit Punch!

When It's Time to Hydrate What Do You Choose?

Mantra Labs HYDRATE has Natural Sweeteners.

Count Sheep or Drink REST to Fall Asleep?

I made this an open ended question, which meant people had to type in an answer. There were some interesting ones. Everyone wanted to sleep, so I'll take that as a "yes" for REST.

I've been drinking REST as part of a calm-down and get ready for bed ritual. It sets the scene for a good night's rest.

The flavor is Lemon Chamomile. The smell makes me happy and the flavor is great. REST provides melatonin and magnesium to support restful sleep.

What's Your Nighttime Ritual?

Most People Chose a REST Ritual to Ease into Sleep.
