"I really rate these tablets, and much easier to consume than the powder. Being a distance runner I would often finish a race with terrible headaches and cramps due to an electrolyte imbalance, but I found that these have largely put a stop to that. I often premix them with water and squash to make my own 'isotonic' drinks and whilst there is invariably some residue (the caking agent?) remaining at the bottom of the bottle, I don't find this a problem, especially at this price! Ideally one would take the required amount about two hours before the exercise, to give time for the kidneys to process the salts. I also thing that the recommended dosage is a bit arbitrary; the amount you should take depends on your sweat profile and how much salt you lose in sweat. Overall, however, my favourite MP product by far!"

"Cheap, effective, convenient. Someone said these were hard to swallow, I disagree. Just wash them down with some water. Much simpler than the powder version."

"I used to get really bad headaches and sickness after things like an hour long Body Attack class, and no matter how much water i drank before, during and after, it wouldn't help. Anything high impact cardio and i'd really suffer. Since talking these its really helped. The pills are however a quite odd shape, and this makes them hard to swallow. sometimes they can jammed and i have to drink loads to get them to pass.... They dont taste nice when they start fizzing in your mouth due to constantly gagging them back up!! Over all though, they;re really good at what they claim to do."

I used to suffer horribly from cramps and headaches during and after playing sport. Since taking these pills (i normally take 2 before i play rugby and 1 after) i haven't suffered once from cramp. Also incredibly good at curing hangovers!

I do a lot of running and require the electrolytes as my recovery drink did not provide enough. These tablets are great except the way they are shaped. They are shaped like the cut out from the middle of a giant polo and the edges are very pointy which cause them to hurt when swallowed. Not sure why they couldnt be the same shape as a normal pill but other than that they are very good

"Taking electrolytes is essential during exercise - I found i was getting severe chest pains and had my heart checked out - nothing wrong- then i read an article in a running magazine - also, during a race i passed a fit looking young guy who had collapsed and if you'd looked at me and him you would have thought i would have been the more likely to collapse but i had taken an electrolyte drink with me - it was a very warm day - close to the summer solstice."

"I mountain bike. I used to get headaches after rides, even after drinking 3 litres of water during the ride and a litre after. I discovered my headaches were caused by lack of electrolytes. I tried salts in my water which worked well but tasted sh1t. I use the powder in my Camelbak, and If I start to feel a headache coming on, I pop one of these badd-bois. Best taken as a pill as they don't dissolve in water easily, use the powder for that. I wonder now if all headaches are due to lack of electrolytes, It's pointless drinking water if it doesn't contain any electrolytes, even if you drink water constantly, you will still dehydrate."

*edit* \nthats £33.75 every month... not 4 1/2 lol

at my muay thai gym they sell sachets of electrolytes for £1.50 each.. that would cost me at least £7.50 per week.. thats £33.75 every 4 1/2 months.. which is how long this bottle would last on the same training routine.. and it costs £6. \n\nmyprotein.co.uk you are amazing.

"Good value for money, helps stops the cramps, tablet is a little sharp and can be difficult to swallow."
