Ö around the world: Ö ambassador reaches Peru’s Huascaran Mountain!

Our ambassador françois-guy thivierge at the peak of huascaran with Ö products!Our ambassador François-Guy Thivierge braved the famous peak of Mount Huascaran in Peru, towering at 6,768 meters, with Ö products by his side to provide all the essential vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes needed for his ascent. This experience stands out as one of the most challenging highlights in his ambitious project to climb 55 mountains in 55 months.Huascaran is the world’s highest tropical mountain range, known for its deep ravines, glacial lakes, and diverse vegetation, making it a stunning and dramatic landscape. "For me, this was one of the toughest of the 55 challenges. It requires several days of trekking at altitude, setting up camps, transporting food, and a lot of planning", shares François-Guy Thivierge.He adds that Ö products truly contributed to his successful ascent. In the mountains, climbers cannot carry bottled water due to weight, and the freezing would cause it to freeze too quickly. To stay hydrated, they melt and boil snow, which contains no minerals. Adding Ö products to the melted snow provides the vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes needed for high-altitude days! François-Guy chose the CHRÖNO flavor from the Ö Health Solution Sport line!

Our first three products Ö Hydration

The importance of hydration in physical activities

No need to be a high-level athlete to stay hydrated!  Water is accessible to everyone, no matter your physical condition or the intensity of your training. Always make sure to keep a water bottle within reach. Why choose Ö?Ö has developed three product lines. No matter your age or activity level, there’s something for you. With our Ö Sport Health Solution line, not only can you stay well-hydrated during any physical activity, whether intense or moderate, but you’ll also replenish essential nutrients lost during exertion.Hydration plan: when, what, and how to drink during training?The importance of planning hydration is now well understood. In any situation, bring along your favorite reusable water bottle and refill it as needed, before, during, and after your workout.• BeforeIf preparing for an endurance sport, such as a marathon, drinking plenty in the 24 hours before the event is recommended. Check in with your trainer, who can guide you on optimal hydration. However, if your activity is more accessible, like a hike, it’s generally recommended to drink 500 ml of water in the two hours before.• DuringOverhydrating can have unwanted effects. Drinking too much may disrupt your body’s water balance, so avoid overwhelming your kidneys and bladder! Take small sips every 15 to 20 minutes. This approach allows your body to better absorb nutrients in small doses and regulate body temperature.• AfterFor workouts over an hour, aim to replace 1.5 times the fluids lost. Include minerals and carbs to replenish what was lost—Ö Sport Health Solution is designed specifically for this. For shorter workouts, still be sure to drink; don’t wait until you’re thirsty, as thirst signals dehydration. Our Ö Vitamin Health Solution is perfect in these situations.What happens in the body during a workout is nothing short of miraculousWhen considering the intricate processes involved in moving even a single toe, it’s clear that the human body is a machine that deserves proper care. Physical movement triggers countless chemical reactions fueled by various nutrients—and by water. Knowing that water is a key component of blood, and that blood transports life-sustaining elements to organs and tissues, it’s essential, especially after high-intensity exercise, to replace lost water and nutrients. Ö was designed with this purpose in mind. Not only do the delicious flavors of our solutions encourage hydration, but they’re also packed with the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients needed for an active life and optimal brain function.
