MYDRATE PULSE is a carbonated adaptogenic hydration beverage combining electrolytes, functional ingredients and moderate caffeine in a 12 fl oz can. Available in Raspberry Lime and Grapefruit, each variety contains 70mg of caffeine, zero sugar and either 15 or 10 calories depending on flavor. The formulation provides 400mg sodium, 100mg potassium, 100mg calcium and 25mg magnesium alongside L-theanine, Panax ginseng extract and green tea leaf extract. B6, B12 and pantothenic acid round out the formula, which is stevia-sweetened, naturally flavored and contains no fruit juice.
The Los Angeles-based brand positions PULSE around sustained energy rather than a pronounced caffeine surge, pairing its moderate caffeine content with L-theanine and a full electrolyte profile. MYDRATE initially built distribution through direct-to-consumer sales and in-person activations across Los Angeles, before expanding its retail strategy with a newly appointed sales team supporting grocery distribution.
