HIGH5 ZERO Neutral | Electrolyte effervescent tablets

HIGH5 ZERO Neutral, unflavoured electrolytes

A resealable tube containing twenty unflavoured electrolyte effervescent tablets: no sweetener, no flavouring, no sugar. One tablet in your water bottle turns water into an electrolyte drink that still tastes like water, 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 makes an even lighter drink, while dissolving it in 500 ml makes a stronger one.

When an electrolyte tablet makes sense

Many athletes wonder whether they need electrolyte effervescent 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.

Neutral, also for mixing

Neutral adds virtually no flavour and is ideal for those who prefer to drink plain water, but with electrolytes. It is also the tablet to dissolve in an energy drink when you want extra electrolytes in hot weather without changing the flavour. In addition to Neutral, there are eight flavoured varieties, plus ZERO Caffeine Hit with 75 mg of caffeine per tablet.

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.
