HIGH5 ZERO Mango | electrolyte effervescent tablets

HIGH5 ZERO Mango, sugar-free electrolytes

A resealable tube containing twenty effervescent electrolyte tablets with a mild mango 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. 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 tablets in addition to drinking plain water. The answer lies in your sweat: it contains an average of around 900 mg of sodium per litre. One tablet provides 250 mg of sodium. In practice, this 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.

Mango and the rest of the ZERO range

Mango is mild and tropical, the sweetest of the bunch. 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 Citrus to Berry, plus ZERO Caffeine Hit with 75 mg of caffeine per tablet.

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