Hydrate ·Sep 23, 2025

Head back to school with Hydrate

While the official start of Fall is September 22, the Autumn Equinox, many of us say goodbye to summer in August, when school starts up again. For parents, teachers, and students, routines change and daily life gets complicated again.

If you struggle to get your kids dressed, fed, and out the door each morning, consider our teachers, coaches, and school employees. Each day, they supervise hundreds of children through their classes, sports, and back home safely.

Whether you’re teaching a class, volunteering for the PTO, or coaching after school, TruLabs Hydrate can help you stay one step ahead.

Sugar-free and stevia-free, Hydrate has B vitamins and electrolytes that may support your cellular energy production and hydration. When you're stretched thin, Hydrate supports healthy electrolyte levels and complements your active lifestyle.

Back to the blackboard

Though camps, sports, and vacation trips kept us hopping all summer, the return of school can be a big switch for families. Mornings start earlier, and homework fills the evenings.

Teachers return to school mode long before their students do. They have lessons to plan, meetings to go to, and materials to buy. Some teachers tackle these tasks during the quieter days of summer, to make a dent in that to-do list.

When you start packing more activities into a busy day, don’t forget self-care essentials, like exercise and staying hydrated.

Hydration is essential for your heart, skin, joints, cells, and brain, as well as your emotional health, clarity of focus, and restful sleep. This is why so many people make Hydrate part of their daily routine.

Our variety of delicious Hydrate flavors makes it easier to drink enough water every day. Hydrate has 1,422 mg of electrolytes, 19 vitamins and minerals, and 6 B vitamins to support hydration and keep you going.

Up early to catch the bus

Here are a few ways parents can help their children ease into school days.

Transition to a school-based sleep schedule by gradually moving bedtime and wake-up time a bit earlier each day during the last week of summer vacation.
If your child is starting a new school, ask if you can visit ahead of time, and attend any orientation programs.
Create a family calendar where all the school holidays, team practices, and doctors’ appointments are clearly laid out for everyone to see.
To ease the morning rush, plan out breakfasts and lunches on Sunday, prepping in advance when possible.
Review all assignments, forms, and permission slips the night before, so nothing is forgotten amid the morning rush.

Keep that Hydrate handy

TruLabs Hydrate powder comes in individual packets, so you can mix it with a bottle of water wherever you are. Keep a supply in your car, purse, bookbag and gym bag, for easy hydration anytime.

The bold, fruity taste of Hydrate turns water into a refreshing treat at only 5 calories per serving. Try Hydrate in Glacier, Peach Mango, Strawberry Lemonade, and our new Citrus Splash and Orange Twist flavors.

Our new Hydrate formula is sweetened with monk fruit extract and Reb M, so it is sugar-free, stevia-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free.

A toast to the teachers

As we start a new school year, let’s raise a glass of Hydrate to honor the school personnel who keep students safe, active, and excited about learning.

You can find great deals on Hydrate at trulabs.com, or pick it up in the vitamins aisle at Walmart and other stores. You can also order it through Amazon, walmart.com, vitacost.com, and many other online retailers.
