Not All Hydration is Create Equal.

Meet the Co-Founder of SWORD Performance USA Dr Shawn Stasko to hear the science behind hydration at AIMEX 2025.

The Real Issue

When you’re working in heat, on your feet, or under pressure, hydration isn’t about comfort. It’s about safety.

In high-risk environments, getting it wrong can be dangerous. Most “hydration drinks” on site are actually doing more harm than good. High in sugar, loaded with additives, and slow absorption, they offer temporary relief but don’t replace what the body actually loses and needs.

The result? Sugar spikes, energy crashes, and even increased dehydration.

The Solution? SWORD & SHIELD

Scientifically Based. Clinically Aligned. Just Clean Hydration That Actually Works.

Electrolytes

Sweat depletes sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium: all critical for nerve function, muscle control, blood pressure and fluid balance.
→ Restore essential electrolytes without the artificial additives or fillers.

Taste

As your body heats up, your taste perception changes. Sword & Shield are intentionally subtle, designed to taste better mid-sweat.
→ Because if it doesn’t taste right, it won’t be drunk.

Absorption

With lower osmolality than blood, Sword & Shield absorb quickly and don't pull water from the body to break down ingredients.
→ Faster absorption without fluid loss for true hydration.
