HIGH5 ZERO Citrus | Electrolyte Effervescent Tablets

HIGH5 ZERO Citrus, sugar-free electrolytes

A resealable tube containing twenty electrolyte effervescent tablets with a fresh citrus flavour, sugar-free and virtually calorie-free. One tablet in your water bottle turns water into a light electrolyte drink for training, races and hot days.

What one tablet adds to your water

Each tablet provides 250 mg of sodium, 56 mg of magnesium, 70 mg of potassium, 9 mg of calcium and 28 mg of vitamin C when dissolved in 750 ml of water. Sodium is the mineral you lose by far the most through sweat; the rest replenishes what you need. Magnesium contributes to normal electrolyte balance and vitamin C helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. The tablet is breakable: half a tablet gives a lighter flavour, while dissolving it in 500 ml makes a stronger drink.

When an electrolyte tablet makes sense

Many athletes wonder whether they need electrolyte effervescent tablets in addition to plain drinking. The answer lies in your sweat: it contains an average of around 900 mg of sodium per litre. In practice, that means: one tablet during or after a strenuous workout, on hot days, during physical work or after a sauna session. And because the drink is sugar-free, it can be taken alongside gels or a carbohydrate drink without doubling up on sugar.

Citrus and the rest of the ZERO range

Citrus is fresh and slightly tart, the most popular entry point in the range. The tube fits in a jersey pocket or sports bag and lasts for twenty water bottles. In addition to this flavour, there are eight other variants, from Berry to Mango, plus ZERO Caffeine Hit with 75 mg of caffeine per tablet for intense workouts.

HIGH5 has been making these electrolyte effervescent tablets for years for cyclists, runners and triathletes. Simply put: add water, drop in a tablet, and you're ready.
