A formulation deep dive
Your workouts now have bigger benefits with The HydroProtein Elixir — a 24-ingredient formulation containing a combination of hydrolysed pea protein, amino acids, digestive enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. Here, we break down the premium ingredients that make up our latest, most hydrating Elixir:
Our Protein Blend
Our pea protein, in combination with our amino acids, makes for 15 g of protein per serve, packing a real protein punch and helping you meet your daily macros while energising your workouts! Here's what we've included for protein:
-
Hydrolysed Pea Protein: A plant-based protein derived from pea protein that has been broken down into a water soluble fine powder, providing faster rates of digestion and absorption. Supports tissue building, repair and the maintenance of muscle mass.
-
Amino Acids: The HydroProtein Elixir contains a complete amino acid profile, providing all essential amino acids, as well as non-essential amino acids. These include glutamine, glycine, alanine and a BCAA blend (leucine, isoleucine, valine 2:1:1), which support the synthesis of protein into the body so it can be absorbed super fast!
Our Electrolyte Blend
The HydroProtein Elixir – thanks to its innovative electrolyte blend – delivers powerful hydration before, during, and after your workout. By helping to balance key minerals, these electrolytes keep you performing at your best by supporting hydration and electrolyte balance. This blend includes:
-
Sodium Chloride: An essential mineral (ours is Australian salt from Olssons) that supports fluid balance, nerve signalling, and muscle function.
-
Magnesium: A vital mineral that aids focus, nervous system health, muscle function, and emotional balance.
-
Potassium: A key electrolyte that helps regulate hydration, muscle function, and nerve signaling for optimal performance.
Fun fact:Hydration is founder Elle Macpherson’s favourite part of this new formulation. She has always been BIG on hydration — it has been a major focus of her morning routine for decades and she loves finding new ways to improve her water intake. Elle loves using this Elixir before her walks, after her yoga and during her day. For Elle it's always been about hydration, hydration, hydration!
Our Beauty Blend
Like all of WelleCo’s Elixirs, there are multifaceted benefits, so it’s no surprise we included a beauty blend for pre/during and post workout glow. Here's what it includes:
-
Vitamin C: A powerful antioxidant that supports immune health, collagen production, and skin vitality.
-
Hyaluronic Acid: This powerhouse hydrator helps the body retain moisture to help plump, firm and smooth the skin.
-
Niacin (Vitamin B3): A crucial water soluble B vitamin that boosts energy production, supports brain function, and promotes healthy skin.
-
Biotin (Vitamin B7): An essential vitamin that supports healthy hair, skin, nails, and energy metabolism.
Other
We also included digestive enzymes in The HydroProtein Elixir:
-
Protease, amylase, lipase, cellulase and lactase also assist in protein absorption, helping break down proteins into smaller peptides and making them easier to absorb into the bloodstream.
Flavour
Taken alone or enjoyed on ice, this refreshing, low calorie powder-to-water formulation comes in two Elle-approved flavours – Passionfruit and Blackcurrant & Pomegranate. We've included premium fruit powders and natural colours to create HydroProtein's delicious, juicy and refreshing flavour profiles.
-
Fruit powders in each flavour: 'Passionfruit fruit pulp' in our Passionfruit and 'Pomegranate juice powder' in our Blackcurrant and Pomegranate.
-
Natural colours: Turmeric for our Passionfruit and Beetroot for our Blackcurrant and Pomegranate.
