    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

      First world problem. People living there never needed this.

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

    • 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.

    • Excellent! Thanks for posting this. I have no issues with mannitol.

      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.

    • You need 2 tablets for a serve though…

      • I did not know this!!
        I normally stick to the icypole

    @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.

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

    • 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.

    • @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.

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

  • +1

    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

  • 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?

    • 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)!

  • 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.
