Standard Humantra Mixing Instructions
For a standard-strength drink, Humantra recommends mixing one sachet with 500-1000ml of water. The exact amount depends on your personal preference for flavor intensity. This range provides flexibility, allowing you to achieve the perfect balance of taste and hydration.
Step-by-step mixing guide
- Select your vessel: Choose a water bottle, shaker cup, or glass that can hold at least 500ml of liquid. Using a bottle with a secure lid is recommended for shaking.
- Add water: Pour 500ml of cold water into your container. You can adjust this amount later based on taste.
- Add Humantra: Tear open one individual-serving stick pack and empty its entire contents into the water.
- Mix thoroughly: Secure the lid and shake well until the powder is completely dissolved. Alternatively, stir vigorously for about 30 seconds if using a glass.
- Adjust and enjoy: Taste the mixture. If you prefer a milder flavor, add more water. If you want a stronger taste, start with less water next time. A user review notes that 750ml works well for a milder flavor.
Customizing Your Water-to-Humantra Ratio
Humantra's flexible mixing guidelines allow you to tailor your drink to different situations. Less water results in a more concentrated, stronger flavor, while more water creates a more subtle, diluted taste.
For a stronger flavor
If you prefer a bolder, more intense taste, mix one sachet with just 500ml of water. This is ideal if you enjoy strong fruit flavors and are drinking it slowly throughout the day.
For a milder flavor
For a lighter, less concentrated taste, mix one sachet with 800ml or even up to 1000ml of water. This can be particularly useful if you find the standard concentration too sweet or intense, or if you plan to consume it quickly during or after a workout.
The Impact of Water Temperature on Your Drink
Water temperature can affect both the taste and how quickly the powder dissolves. Humantra is designed to be mixed with cold water for a refreshing drink.
- Cold water: Using cold water is the standard method and ensures a refreshing, crisp flavor, particularly beneficial for post-workout or hot weather hydration.
- Warm water: Some users may prefer warm water to help the powder dissolve more quickly, especially if stirring in a glass. While safe, it can slightly alter the taste profile.

Best Practices for Hydrating with Humantra
Proper mixing is just one part of effective hydration. Consider these tips for integrating Humantra into your daily routine.
- Morning Ritual: Many users find success by starting their day with a sachet of Humantra mixed in water, as it helps establish proper hydration early.
- During Exercise: For intense or prolonged workouts, a full sachet mixed with 500-750ml of water can help replenish lost electrolytes and support muscle function.
- When Feeling Low: For headaches, fatigue, or brain fog often associated with dehydration, mixing a sachet can help restore electrolyte balance.
- Travel Companion: The single-serving sachets are easy to transport, making them a convenient hydration solution for travel.
Common Mixing Mistakes to Avoid
To ensure you get the most from your Humantra, avoid these simple errors.
- Not mixing enough: Simply stirring with a spoon may not fully dissolve the powder, leaving sediment at the bottom and an uneven taste.
- Guessing the water amount: Using too little water can make the flavor overwhelming, while too much can dilute the benefits.
- Using hot water for convenience: While it dissolves well, hot water is not recommended for a refreshing hydration drink and may slightly affect the flavor.
