About HIRO

HIRO creates premium daily wellbeing products designed to simplify modern nutrition. Our formulations focus on carefully selected ingredients, meaningful dosages and thoughtful formulation.

What is HIRO?

HIRO is a wellness brand focused on creating high-quality daily nutrition products designed to support hydration, energy and overall wellbeing.

Our products simplify complex supplement routines by combining carefully selected ingredients into convenient daily formats.

What makes HIRO different from other supplement brands?

Many supplements focus on long ingredient lists but contain extremely small amounts of each ingredient.

HIRO focuses on carefully balanced formulations that prioritise potency, efficacy and bioavailability rather than simply maximising ingredient count.

Do HIRO products use clinically studied ingredient levels?

Where possible, HIRO formulations aim to reflect ingredient levels supported by scientific research.

This helps ensure ingredients are present at levels designed to deliver meaningful nutritional value.

What does bioavailability mean?

Bioavailability refers to how efficiently nutrients can be absorbed and used by the body.

The form of an ingredient, the surrounding nutrients and the formulation itself all influence bioavailability.

Why not simply include as many ingredients as possible?

More ingredients does not necessarily mean a better supplement.

Many products contain very long ingredient lists but include extremely small amounts of each ingredient.

HIRO focuses on thoughtful formulation and meaningful ingredient levels.

Can I take multiple HIRO products together?

Yes. HIRO products are designed to complement each other as part of a daily wellbeing routine.

How long before I feel the benefits?

Many people begin to notice benefits after 4–8 weeks of consistent use.

Where are HIRO products made?

HIRO products are developed in the United Kingdom and manufactured in European facilities that follow strict quality and food safety standards.

Are HIRO products safe for children?

HIRO products are not recommended for individuals under 18 years of age.

Can I take HIRO alongside medication?

If you are taking prescription medication or have a medical condition, consult your healthcare professional before introducing any new supplement.

Hydration Tablets

HIRO Hydration tablets are designed to support effective daily hydration with a balanced blend of electrolytes.

What are HIRO Hydration tablets?

HIRO Hydration tablets are effervescent electrolyte tablets designed to support effective hydration.

They contain six essential electrolytes that help replenish minerals lost through everyday life, exercise, travel and heat.

Why don't I just drink more water?

Hydration is not only about water intake.

The body also relies on electrolytes such as sodium and potassium to regulate how fluids move in and out of cells.

Adding electrolytes to water can help support more effective hydration during exercise, travel, hot weather or busy days.

Why add electrolytes to water?

Electrolytes help regulate fluid balance, muscle function and nerve signalling.

Maintaining electrolyte balance plays an important role in effective hydration.

Are the hydration tablets vegan and gluten free?

Yes. HIRO Hydration tablets are suitable for vegans and are formulated without gluten ingredients.

When should I take the hydration tablets?

Many customers take hydration tablets:

  • in the morning
  • before or after exercise
  • during travel
  • during hot weather
  • after long days
Are hydration tablets only for athletes?

No. Hydration tablets can support everyday hydration for anyone with an active or busy lifestyle.

How do I take the hydration tablets?

Add two tablets to approximately 300ml of water. Allow them to dissolve fully before drinking.

How many servings are there in each tube?

Each tube contains 20 tablets which provides 10 servings.

Can I just use one tablet?

Yes. One tablet will produce a lighter flavour. However two tablets provide the full intended electrolyte serving.

Why is the serving two tablets?

The formula is designed so two tablets deliver the intended electrolyte balance and flavour profile.

Why does HIRO Hydration contain more potassium than sodium?

HIRO Hydration is designed for everyday hydration rather than extreme endurance sport.

Potassium plays an important role in fluid balance and normal muscle function.

Do the hydration tablets contain caffeine?

No. HIRO Hydration tablets are completely caffeine free.

Do the hydration tablets contain sugar?

HIRO Hydration contains a small amount of glucose which supports electrolyte absorption.

Can I drink HIRO Hydration every day?

How does collagen benefit women's health?

Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the body and plays an important role in skin elasticity, hair, nails, joints and connective tissue.

Natural collagen production gradually declines with age, which is why collagen supplementation has become popular as part of daily wellness routines.

Collagen works gradually as part of a consistent daily routine.

Many people begin to notice benefits to skin appearance or overall wellbeing after several weeks of consistent use.

A healthy digestive system plays an important role in nutrient absorption and overall health.

Why does Essential Woman contain so many ingredients?

Rather than taking multiple supplements separately, Essential Woman combines complementary ingredients into one daily blend.

The goal is to provide broad nutritional support in a simple, convenient format.

Are the ingredients included at effective levels?

HIRO formulations prioritise meaningful ingredient levels wherever possible.

Clean Creatine

HIRO Clean Creatine is pure micronised creatine monohydrate — nothing added, nothing hidden. Unflavoured and ultra-fine, it dissolves easily into any drink and fits seamlessly into your existing routine.

What is HIRO Clean Creatine?

Clean Creatine is 100% pure micronised creatine monohydrate at 99.5%+ purity. No fillers, no flavourings, no sweeteners — just creatine.

It is produced to strict food-grade standards and is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.

What does creatine actually do?

Creatine is one of the most researched supplements in sports and health nutrition. It helps replenish phosphocreatine stores in the muscles, which supports energy production during short bursts of effort.

Beyond physical performance, research also points to benefits for cognitive function, healthy ageing and general cellular energy.

How much should I take?

We suggest starting with 3g per day — a level well supported by research for general health and wellbeing benefits. A scoop is included in every pack.

Some people increase this to 5g per day, particularly if they train regularly. There is no need to do a loading phase.

Is a scoop included?

Yes. Every pack of Clean Creatine comes with a measuring scoop so you can dose consistently each day.

How do I take it?

Simply add your scoop to any drink and stir or shake. Because it is unflavoured and ultra-fine, it dissolves easily and does not affect the taste of whatever you add it to.

Can I stack it with other HIRO products?

Absolutely — this is one of the best things about an unflavoured creatine. You can add your daily scoop directly to:

  • Your HIRO Essential Health + Protein Superblend
  • Your HIRO Essential Woman + Collagen Superblend
  • Your HIRO Hydration electrolyte drink
  • Your morning coffee or tea
  • Water, juice or a smoothie

No extra drink needed — it just fits into whatever you already take.

Does it have any taste?

No. Clean Creatine is completely unflavoured. It will not alter the taste, colour or texture of whatever you mix it into.

Is Clean Creatine vegan?

Yes. Clean Creatine is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.

Does it contain any allergens?

No. Clean Creatine contains no allergens, no gluten, no dairy, no soy, no sugar and no artificial sweeteners or additives of any kind.

Does it contain caffeine?

No. Clean Creatine is completely caffeine free, making it easy to take at any time of day.

When is the best time to take it?

Consistency matters more than timing with creatine. Taking it at the same time each day — morning, pre-workout, or whenever you take your other HIRO products — is the most effective approach.

Do I need to do a loading phase?

No. A loading phase is not necessary. Simply take your daily 3g consistently and creatine stores will build naturally over time.

Is creatine only for people who work out?

No. While creatine is well established in sports nutrition, research increasingly supports its benefits for general energy, cognitive function and healthy ageing — even without a gym routine.

Is creatine safe to take every day?

Yes. Creatine monohydrate has been studied extensively for decades and is widely regarded as one of the safest and most effective supplements available.
