Review: Shotz Electrolyte Tablets

It'd be a damn sight cheaper (and probably better for you) if you simply ate one banana every day or two and made up some oral rehydration therapy solution using 6 teasp of sugar, half a teasp of salt and 1lt of water. You may substitute dried apricots for the banana (potassium) if you wish.

Providing you have a normal Western diet and unless you're doing significant exercise and sweating profusely for a significant period you don't need any of this stuff anyway - and excess salt is bad for you.

How much do you sweat on a "long ride" in an air conditioned vehicle?

the vast majority their salt intake is massivly in excess of wahts needed

to advertise enegy drinks etc is irrasponsable

unless your regulary running marathons in which case you would be seeking expert advice

drink water none of this other over hyped crap is needed or healthy
