I think this is an essential - especially if you sweat as much as I do (Niagara Falls of the forehead anyone?). Mix it with bog standard Robinson's squash and you effectively have a cheaper and better version of many of the 'Isotonic' drinks on the market. Also great for hang-overs I should add...

"Great for making sports drinks at home. For the reviewer above, I use a 1g of citric acid per litre of liquid to counteract the taste. I also tried natural lemon flavouring, it's good but not as good as citric acid at masking."

"Brilliant for electrolyte loss recovery in summer rugby league, also brilliant for reducing hangover if you take it in the morning and even better if you can remember to have some before you pass out in a drunken heap, that's if you drink & I don't obviously"

Very strong salty taste that could potentially ruin the taste of a drink you put it with. Even so much as 1/8th of a teaspoon is very noticable.Does anyone know any flavourings I could use to counter its taste?

"I compared the electrolytes in this with those in isotonic drinks. Not only are there more minerals, there is ten times more of them.\nThe mix could be better - much of the powder just remains in suspension. Neat, the taste is barely noticeable.\nHighly recommend this product.\nOne gripe: I ordered 500g it came in 500g-capacity containers, but with only 100g in each. A bit ecologically wasteful."

"Hey! Finally it is here and it does exactly what it says on the label! Good-bye to cramps, headaches nausea and blurred vision. Add you favourite carb according to training plan and heat and off you go until the fail. Highly recommended. And no, sports drinks do not have to be blue red or green to work. Guess this will make the likes of Luc***** etc sweat. Lets hope they have a good electrolyte :-) Bye for now. (PS: And no, only cooking salt does not do the trick. At least not for me.)"
