    Far prefer the dissolving tablets.

    Recently used tablets regularly in my water bottle whilst travelling in Cambodia and Vietnam - made a genuine difference to hydration in a hot sweaty climate.

      They are on sale 60 tablets for $22.99 at Chemist Warehouse at the moment, shame the 20% cashback finished Wednesday

        And (most) people living in Cambodia and Vietnam never needed a jacket, until they visited Melbourne. What's your point?

    • morediscount on 02/08/2024 - 12:31

      it is ok to take daily?

        Yes if you need to replace the sodium and potassium loss from activities such as exercise or sweating in hot weather.
        If you are taking medications that may affect sodium or potassium levels or have medical conditions, it is best to check with your doctor. Your doctor can request for a blood test to check your electrolyte levels such as sodium and potassium.

    The 40 pack is better value from Amazon ($20.40 single price, $18.36 sub). Single price at a per sachet cost is better than the subscribe cost of the 24.

      Serving size is 2 tablets vs 1 sachet, though.

      Tablets $0.77 per serve subscribe and save, $1.02 per serve one-time purchase.
      Sachet $0.61 per serve subscribe and save, $0.68 per serve one-time purchase.

    • Kaise on 02/08/2024 - 11:27

      You need 2 tablets for a serve though…

      • original15 on 02/08/2024 - 11:39

        The recommendation is 2 tablets per serve, but I notice a big uptick in my concentration and energy after only one.

    • Wt133 on 03/08/2024 - 03:41

      You can just get electrolyte powder from a supplement store or Amazon or even chemist whore house and that can be even cheaper than the 40 pack

    @GRP @cook99 @original15 Thanks for your tips. I agree the tablets are better value.

    As mentioned in the post, the tablets have the artificial sweetener mannitol which some people cannot tolerate and have to avoid. The powder sachets do not have mannitol and are more suitable.

    • Ultraman on 02/08/2024 - 13:27

      The tablets are too acidic IMO too. Sachets dissolved in water taste much better. And for extra rehydration, the Hydralyte sports tubs are so good especially price wise a lot cheaper per serving.

  • Grannular on 02/08/2024 - 11:08

    I'm interested to know how mannitol, a diuretic, would help with rehydration.

    • marcozmitch on 02/08/2024 - 11:32

      Depends how much, it is a sweetener, so may not be significant enough.
      Caffeine in some tablets of a simliar sort also is a diuretic…?
      Is the amount of ingredient that matters vs the effect?

      Also just looked up Cleveland Clinic link: use as a bulking agent…?
      Why is mannitol added to drugs?
      Mannitol is a polyol (sugar alcohol) and an isomer of sorbitol. Mannitol (C6H8(OH)6) is used in pharmaceutical products as a sweeting agent, tablet and capsule diluent, excipient for chewable tablets, a tonicity agent, and as a vehicle (bulking agent) for lyophilized preparations.

    • trixieb on 02/08/2024 - 12:42

      @Grannular Mannitol is used as a sweetener in the Hydralyte tablets. It is poorly absorbed by the intestines, which can cause digestive problems for some people. It does not have a diuretic effect in the electrolyte formulation. Mannitol is administered intravenously for its osmotic diuretic effect.

      • Grannular on 02/08/2024 - 13:07

        Sounds like Maltitol which is also used as a sweetener and causes digestive problems

  • Ghos7 on 02/08/2024 - 11:12

    Bulk Nutrients has an electrolyte blend with zero sweeteners at $24 for 250g. It's a superior product at a better price (depending on shipping).

    Any thoughts on the version of Aldi Essential Health Electrolytes $8.29 for 20 tablets

    Or High 5 Zeros (short dated Pink Grapefruit Flavor with 30% off your first order using code HIGH5AU2024) ($96 less 30% for 160 tablets [8x20] with a smidge of Vit C)
    Here is a review of these things: https://www.220triathlon.com/gear/nutrition/drinks/best-elec… from OCT 2022

    • Deadalready on 02/08/2024 - 16:47

      It boils down to taste, I like the tablet version of Hydralyte the best, while many other brands and even the sachet versions of Hydralyte distinctly salty for my liking.

  • Homr on 02/08/2024 - 12:50

    I believe these should help with to prevent hangovers?

    Drink 1 just before you go to sleep so you stay hydrated when you wake up?

    • trixieb on 02/08/2024 - 13:01
      +1

      You can take 1 x Hydralyte powder sachet instead of the 2 x tablets mentioned below:

      Quote: So our #1 hangover hack is to have a 200 mL glass of water on our bedside table BEFORE we go to bed. Pop 2 Hydralyte Effervescent Tablets in and sip this slowly before going to sleep. Feel free to repeat this process once more for the best results. Alternatively, stick a Hydralyte Ready To Drink on your bedside table before you go out (keep that tipsy fumbling to a minimum)!

  • Dauphin on 02/08/2024 - 13:01

    What are people’s thoughts on this for a 100km. Cycle vs poweraid or Gatorade powders?

    Also any difference between the tablets and powdered in terms of efficacy?

    Methods the tablet would be easier to put in a bottle whilst riding.

    • cook99 on 02/08/2024 - 13:28

      I would suggest driving the 100km yields best results.

    Essentially this is just Sodium salt and Potassium salt at a massive markup. Assuming you already have salt floating around you can just buy some Potassium:
    https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07Z4KF3Z4?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_…
    and make your own electrolyte powder for a fraction of the cost (the ozbargain way?) - they're plenty of youtube videos on how to do this. LMNT even publish the recipe to make at home (they include Magnesium) : https://science.drinklmnt.com/electrolytes/best-homemade-ele…

    • mrcosmo on 02/08/2024 - 14:47

      You could also buy lite salt from Coles which I think is even cheaper, but I guess it's a pain having to weigh it out everytime, people want convenience

      • Janko on 02/08/2024 - 15:54
        +1

        Don't need to weigh it out each time - bulk make it up and then just a spoon of the mix. I do basically the LMNT mix, get to choose the sugar type and quantity, plus add other things like creatine.

    • Deadalready on 02/08/2024 - 16:53
      +3

      I'm paying for the convenience, portability and TASTE.

      Yes, you COULD do it yourself, but have you actually done it and found it palpable?

      I carry a tube of tablets (20 tabs) conveniently fits easily in a pocket, dropped in a cup or bottle ready to drink in 30 seconds without mixing. With your own salt you need to melt it in hot or warm water so it actually dissolves… which is perfect on a hot day…

      • trixieb on 02/08/2024 - 17:30

        I'm with you. Cbf to diy.

        I've been on carnivore diet for 4 months and it's essential - so yes I do it every day - agree it's not a sipp'n drink but for grown-ups it really not that difficult…..

      • gakko on 02/08/2024 - 19:03

        Every thing is just its basic set of ingredients plus a bunch of prep hey. Time is worth something.

      • Janko on 02/08/2024 - 20:34

        I've done it - LMNT recipes are nice and the same as their popular sachets. I could just put citric acid in my mix like Hydralite has, but would rather put in fresh lime juice and get some Vit. C etc as well.

        I gun in fridge temp sparkling water - mostly dissolves from the CO2 bubbling even without stirring, and just drink it anyway it's so nice.

  • marcozmitch on 02/08/2024 - 17:38

    Convenience is a true thing. Happy if they include some bonus vit C and B.

  • greenslade on 05/08/2024 - 04:53

    +1 for Noting the crazy markup. It's criminal. DIY isn't difficult or expensive, and is a tiny tiny fraction of the cost, surely the only ozb way?
