About Us

HydrationReview is a website dedicated to helping people unlock their full mental and physical potential via optimized hydration. Even though the importance of hydration is well documented in the medical community, we’ve found that consumers have trouble maintaining their needed levels of water intake. HydrationReview aims to change that by providing unbiased and thorough reviews of reusable bottles and electrolyte products that may help improve hydration levels and lead to more productive and enjoyable lifestyles.

While optimizing personal hydration can promote significant improvements to physical and mental performance, finding the right products can be a daunting task. With hundreds of water bottles and electrolyte products on the market, consumers may not know where to start. That’s where we come in. HydrationReview developed standardized testing and scoring systems that provide consistent results across categories that are important to consumers, allowing for fair rating and cross comparison of products. 

HydrationReview was founded by two friends who met during their freshman year on their college rowing team. As D1 collegiate athletes, they developed an appreciation for hydration in terms of physical performance at practice and mental acuity in the classroom. Both founders also bring a unique perspective to HydrationReview based on their work experiences and personal interests. Ellis, in addition to being a healthcare strategy consultant, is a part-time wilderness guide who’s led multi-day group expeditions in the Flat Tops Wilderness Area of Colorado. He’s seen firsthand the importance of staying hydrated during long expeditions that cover up to 10 miles per day on foot. Joe works for a cleantech company and tries to spend as much time as possible enjoying the outdoors. His favorite activities include hiking, running and golfing. Whether he’s on a trail or at the links, he loves trying new hydration products to see how they may benefit his performance.

Ellis, Joe and the entire HydrationReview team are excited to share their research to help you find products that best fit your lifestyle. Stay hydrated out there!
