Hydralyte Announces Investment and Brand Collaboration with Actress and Entrepreneur, Shay Mitchell

SAN DIEGO, May 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Hydralyte, one of the world's most trusted rapid hydration solutions, announces a multi-year collaborative partnership with actress, producer and entrepreneur, Shay Mitchell. Mitchell joins the Hydralyte team as an investor and creative collaborator to expand awareness, highlight health benefits and tell the brand's story to a wider audience.

"Between meetings, working out and chasing a toddler, I don't drink as much water as I should," says Mitchell. "I invested in Hydralyte because it delivers superior rapid rehydration, tastes great and is low in sugar so my family gets the hydration they need. It's a daily life-hack."

Hydralyte's global pedigree continues to stand out as a superior rehydration solution by providing 4x the electrolytes and one-fourth the sugar than sports drinks and rehydrates faster than water alone. Named the number one, gold standard of hydration in Australia, Hydralyte is also ranked number two in Canadian stores* and is rapidly growing in popularity within the United States. The brand's new fizzy powder sticks, made from all-natural ingredients, come with significantly less sugar than competitors and are designed for an eight-ounce glass proving to provide a hydration option for every age and every stage.

"Not only is Shay a young mother, actress and icon of popular culture, she is an incredibly successful entrepreneur," says Hydralyte CEO Oliver Baker. "This announcement is just the beginning, and unlike many brand ambassador partnerships, Shay is now a part owner in the company and has an active role and voice in supporting the growth of our business. This partnership further demonstrates what drives the core of the Hydralyte brand - hydration is at the center of a healthy lifestyle - and we can't wait to work together to bring our vision to life."

In 2022, the brand plans to launch a variety of all-new flavors and packaging format options and will show an increased focus on overall health and recovery with new products featuring adaptogens, detox and more. Hydralyte is available online at Hydralyte.com, Amazon, Rite Aid, CVS, Publix and other large retailers. The brand's core range is designed for consumers of all ages and are available in powder sticks, portable dissolvable tablets, and a variety of ready-to-drink options.
