The Story Behind the Sip

Like so many smart wellness ideas, SIIP was born out of a personal frustration. Co Founder Claire—a health-conscious professional juggling a demanding career and active lifestyle—realised she wasn't drinking enough water. When she looked for solutions, she found sugar-laced squash, chalky hydration tablets, and gritty powders with artificial sweeteners and odd aftertastes. Nothing felt like something she wanted to build into a daily routine.

That's when Siip was built.

The result is SIIP Hydrate: a refined, flavourful, science-backed concentrate designed to enhance the water you already drink. From its minimal packaging to its plant-inspired flavour profiles, it’s clear that this isn’t just another supplement. It’s an invitation to turn water into something functional, flavourful, and even joyful.

What’s in It?

Each 150ml bottle of SIIP makes around 30 servings. A teaspoon mixed into 500ml of water delivers a zero-calorie, sugar-free hit of:

•  Five Essential Electrolytes—critical for hydration, muscle recovery, and nerve function (Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium): critical for hydration, muscle recovery, and nerve function.

• Vitamins (B12, B6, Niacin): known to support energy metabolism, focus, and immunity.

• Natural Flavour Blends like Sicilian Lemon & Tahitian Lime, Blood Orange & Passionfruit, and Raspberry & Hibiscus—all clean, fresh, and layered without artificial aftertastes.

There are no artificial sweeteners here—only a natural, premium-grade stevia known as Rebaudioside M (Reb M). This newer generation of stevia has been carefully developed to eliminate the bitter aftertaste often associated with earlier forms. The result is a lightly tart, gently complex flavour—made with real juice and no added sugars—that enhances water without overpowering it. 

Hydration, Elevated

Let’s be clear: hydration is more than just drinking enough fluid. It’s about how your body absorbs and uses that fluid.

SIIP leans into the science. Packed with five key electrolytes helps your cells retain water more efficiently. That means less of your hydration going to waste and more going where it’s needed—muscles, brain, skin, and metabolism.

Vitamins C, B12, and D3 bring another edge, especially for people who experience the classic afternoon slump or brain fog from long hours at a desk. We noticed subtle but definite shifts: better energy flow during long days, fewer moments of mental drag, and a more stable mood that didn’t rely on caffeine top-ups.

And perhaps most importantly: we just drank more water. Not because we forced ourselves to, but because we wanted to. That’s where SIIP really succeeds—it changes your relationship with water from obligation to habit.

Living With SIIP: Our Experience

We approached this product like we would any serious wellness item: we used it daily, across different settings—during workouts, long editing sessions, early morning starts, and those dreaded late-night writing crunches.

The first thing we noticed was how ridiculously easy it was to integrate. One teaspoon into a reusable bottle, a quick shake, and you’re done. No dissolving, no residue, no measuring sachets. In terms of usability, SIIP is leagues ahead of tablets or powders.

The Sicilian Lemon & Tahitian Lime flavour became our office staple. It’s sharp but not sour, balanced, and genuinely refreshing—like spa water but smarter. On warmer days or after workouts, Blood Orange & Passionfruit gave a tropical kick without feeling artificial. It’s more fragrant than sweet, more juicy than sugary. For evenings or slower mornings, Raspberry & Hibiscus brought a subtle floral edge that reminded us of iced tea with a wellness twist.

What surprised us most was how it changed our behaviour. A bottle of water went from something that sat ignored for hours to something we finished without realising. Mid-meeting, mid-run, mid-replying-to-50-emails—SIIP simply made us want to sip more. That, in itself, is a game-changer.

Another surprise? One of our reviewers who suffers from restless legs at night noticed genuine relief after adding SIIP to their daily hydration. We’re not saying it’s a cure-all, but magnesium and potassium are known to play a role in muscle function and nerve signalling, and it certainly made a difference in their nightly sleep quality.

We didn’t experience any crash or sugar-like energy rollercoasters. Just smoother energy and mental clarity. And in a month where we faced two deadlines, three events, and a nasty summer cold running through the office—SIIP held up as a steady wellness ally.

More Than a Gym Product

What sets SIIP apart is how well it works outside of the gym.

Most hydration solutions are tied to sport: tablets for runners, powders for cyclists, rehydration salts for long-distance events. And they’re all great—but not exactly desk drawer material.

SIIP doesn’t position itself as a performance supplement. It’s a lifestyle product, a daily hydration companion designed for anyone who spends more than an hour in front of a screen or needs a subtle nudge to stay hydrated. You don’t need to be running a marathon or sweating buckets to benefit from this. You just need to drink water—and want to drink more of it.

This broad appeal is part of SIIP’s quiet genius. It fits into a schoolbag, a work laptop case, or your carry-on luggage. It supports high-performers and busy parents, gym-goers and everyday wellness seekers.

Why SIIP Feels Different

What SIIP offers isn’t just a product—it’s a behavioural shift. It removes the friction between “I should drink more water” and actually doing it. You don’t have to remind yourself anymore. You just want to. Because it tastes good. Because it feels good. Because it works.

That’s a subtle but powerful difference in a wellness landscape cluttered with hard-to-pronounce superfoods, overcomplicated routines, and impossible standards. SIIP offers a low-barrier, high-impact habit: hydration, done better.

And in our experience, once you start sipping, you don’t really want to stop.
