"Water is the most abundant element in our body – it makes up 70% of our muscles, lubricates our joints, and delivers nutrients to our body. Water is essential to athletic performance. However, most of us don't know how much water we drink every day and, more importantly, how much we should drink to perform our best," said Davis Saltzgiver, co-founder and Head of Product for Trago.

Trago is a patent-pending water bottle that accurately measures how much you drink. It connects to your smart phone, and other wearable devices, and allows you to set, and measure, intelligent personal hydration goals. Trago is currently available for pre-order on Kickstarter for $49.99.

"Our vision is to change the way people think about hydration. It is much more than just drinking a sports drink before or after working out. Gathering smart data from the user, your smart-phone, and other connected wearable devices, Trago helps you pinpoint the perfect amount to drink for you, and then keeps you on track to hit your daily hydration goals," said Jac Saltzgiver, Co-Founder and CEO of Trago.

Jac added, "Hydration isn't one size fits all. We believe there is a better way to hydrate, one that is healthier and more specific to the individual athlete and their needs and that's why we created Trago."

Stay Healthy and Hydrated With Trago:

Trago is perfect for people who sweat. Whether you are a professional athlete, or a 9-to-5'er who does most of your outdoor activities on the weekends, optimal hydration is critical to performing and feeling your best.

Trago features include:

Intelligent – Until now, only pro-athletes had access to the resources to dial in their optimal hydration levels. Based on your body type, location, and activity level factors – Trago helps you understand the perfect amount to drink for you.
- Body Type
  - Age, gender, height, weight
- Location
  - The weather, elevation, humidity
- Activity Level
  - Activity type, duration, and intensity
Connected – Via Bluetooth Low-Energy, Trago can connect to smart phones, fitness platforms (like Apple Health and Mapmyfitness) and other wearable devices, seamlessly adjusting your water intake recommendations based on the data it receives.
Accurate – Trago uses patent pending ultrasonic technology to determine precise changes in the water level. Combined with other sensors in the cap, Trago knows exactly how much you drink down to the half-ounce.
Versatile – The Trago Cap fits on any wide-mouth water bottle – including Nalgene's, Camelbak's and Hydro Flasks.
Environmental – Trago counts how many disposable plastic bottle you save, and rewards you for your positive impact on the environment through our partnership with 1% for the Planet.
Team Hydration – Trago allows coaches, trainers and parents to monitor groups and multiple bottles. Now you can hold your athletes accountable, and ensure everyone is hydrated and ready to go on game-day.
Long Battery Life – Trago runs for approximately 6 months on a common replaceable battery that can be found at your local drug store. Because who wants another device to charge?

Monitor Team Hydration with Trago:

Hydration is especially critical in a team sports setting. The Trago App gives coaches, trainers and parents the ability to monitor team hydration.

"In a sport like soccer, there's a direct correlation to being hydrated and performance on the field. For college athletes, they do not always have the discipline to drink enough water in the days leading up to the game and often are dehydrated. It's especially difficult to keep track of my student-athlete's water consumption when we are traveling on the road. This water bottle combined with the phone application would make us aware of such issues and ensure our players are ready for game-day." - Jamie Franks, Head Coach, University of Denver Soccer Team

Availability:

Trago is available for pre-order on Kickstarter from June 2^nd – July 2^nd. Link: Trago on Kickstarter
