To make SWORD®, SHIELD®, and SHIELD® ZERO the fastest, healthiest, and most effective hydration available, we stripped hydration down to the essentials: All-Natural Fluids, Ingredients, and Electrolytes. We optimized each component and topped it off with refreshing, real fruit flavors. That's it! We left the rest in the bin. You won't find the colors, additives, artificial ingredients, or other extra stuff in our products. The reason is simple: they simply become waste. Hydration is a crucial component of everyday wellness. If you have to drink something, it should not only taste good - it should work. So stay hydrated and do your thing.
