Precision Hydration

Precision Fuel & Hydration was launched in 2011 after years of working with elite athletes and technology partners to develop a simple and effective way to help athletes understand and manage their individual energy needs.

PH founder Andy Blow has a degree in sports and exercise science and was a regular podium finisher in elite short course triathlons in his younger days.

However, he had some very poor results when competing in the heat and at longer IRONMAN distances. He suffered from severe cramps and had other fluid-related issues, including hyponatremia (low sodium levels in the blood, which can have some nasty consequences). This was despite following the generally accepted energy advice available at the time.

After years of trial and error, he eventually figured out how to effectively manage his individual sodium and fluid intake to maintain his performance.

He was greatly assisted in that process by Dr. Raj Jutley, a highly respected cardiac surgeon who introduced him to the concept of sweat testing and the enormous variation in sweat and sodium losses that can occur from athlete to athlete.

It was through his own search for an effective solution that, with Dr. Jutley’s input, the concept of Precision Fuel & Hydration was born.

Precision hydration also developed their own line of electrolyte supplements early on because existing products out there simply weren’t strong enough to meet the needs of most serious athletes.
