As every sports dietitian is well aware, maximum endurance and optimal performance are often proportional to an athlete's ability to stay hydrated. But many athletes periodically experience negative effects of dehydration: cramps, headaches, muscle fatigue, light-headedness, disorientation, etc.   And so do astronauts. 

In their quest to prevent the effects of dehydration, the ultimate goal of NASA researchers was to find a superior, reliable rehydration formula to protect astronauts during the rigors of re-entry and readjustment to Earth's gravity. And like so many other product innovations made possible by NASA research for space travel--artificial hearts, prosthetics, video stabilization software, to name just a few--The Right Stuff breaks away from the ordinary, so that athletes can achieve the extraordinary. 

Former NASA research scientist and inventor of the formula, John Greenleaf, explained: "We developed the rehydration formula to perform optimally under the most extreme conditions. The health of our highly trained astronauts was paramount.  With all that Americans and the government have invested in the space program and our astronauts, this is one clear way to protect and maximize that investment. And now athletes can benefit from this research too."

For more than a decade NASA conducted tests with both astronauts in space and athletes on the ground to arrive at the optimal solution to fight and relieve the symptoms of dehydration.   The result is a superior, patented solution for optimal athletic hydration.

Based on published research, The Right Stuff is superior for:

• Increasing athletic endurance significantly more than any other formula tested by NASA; important throughout all sports seasons. 
• Fighting dehydration symptoms better; and especially valuable for those competitors prone to cramps, muscle fatigue, headaches, dizziness, light-headedness etc.
• Improving core thermoregulation; helping to protect athletes’ bodies from overheating in times of high heat and exertion, as with summer football camps. 

The Right Stuff is a liquid concentrate (pre-measured, single-serve recyclable plastic vials) that, when added to 16 ounces (500 ml) of water, creates an isotonic drink that helps athletes avoid the negative effects of dehydration, working faster and more effectively than any other formula tested by NASA, before, during and after intense exercise, as in track & field, tennis and football two-a-days.
