As leaders in hydration science, we’ve developed a formula inspired by the ancient methods used by desert dwellers to overcome drought conditions. Hychia is a patent-pending, all natural super seed powder that hydrates 6X more effectively than water alone, allowing you to drink less, transport less, and make better use of the water you have.
