Why is Hydrate & Perform classified as ultra‑processed (NOVA 4) and what specific additives does it contain?

The product is deemed ultra‑processed because its ingredients are largely refined sugars, glucose syrup and multiple food‑grade additives such as citric acid (E330), sodium citrate (E331) and magnesium carbonate, which are typical of NOVA 4 formulations.

How does the high sugar and salt content in this product affect a diabetic or hypertensive diet?

With 70 g of sugar per 100 g, the drink can cause rapid blood‑glucose spikes, making it unsuitable for people managing diabetes, while 2.75 g of salt per 100 g exceeds recommended limits and may raise blood pressure, posing a risk for hypertensive individuals.

Is Hydrate & Perform suitable for vegan, keto, halal, or gluten‑free diets?

The beverage contains animal‑derived traces (milk, soy) and possible gluten from barley, so it is not guaranteed vegan or gluten‑free, and its high carbohydrate content (70 g sugars, 88 g carbs per 100 g) makes it unsuitable for keto diets; halal status cannot be confirmed without further certification.
