O.R.S Hydration Tablet with Electrolytes for Rehydration, Wellness, Travel, Sports & Recovery | Vegan, Gluten-Free & Low-Calorie Electrolyte Tablets with Natural Lemon Flavour, 96 Tablets

The only reliable treatment for night cramp. My neighbour and I are both elderly with heart problems and poor circulation. After physical exertion, we used to suffer miserably from cramp in legs and feet at night; 2 tablets (dissolved) either when going to bed or when woken by cramp are guaranteed to prevent or cure respectively. The instructions say "2 tablets in 200ml of water" but there's no reason why you shouldn't use MORE water. I keep a small tube of ORS beside my bed and take a 330ml, wide-mouth, plastic bottle of filtered water to bed every night. If I feel the first twinges of cramp, or am woken by full-blown cramp, I can add 2 tablet to the bottle of water, shake to dissolve and slowly drink the lot without having to struggle out of bed; though I might have to get up twice instead of once, cramp is banished for the rest of the night! Effective rehydrants taste don't taste particularly nice for the very good reason that they contains sodium and potassium salts and sugars (principally glucose).

Me and friends have at least one glass of this along with a pint or two of water before bed after a big night out, does the job, no hangover for us in the morning. Very happy with the product and would recommend for anyone as a hangover cure (best to drink before going to bed to stop the hangover before it starts) I will say that the taste isn't that great. its much nicer than other hydration drinks on the market, as I love lemon flavouring. However, I find them all to be pretty gross. So this tastes okay.. still kind of disgusting and salty, as do all rehydration/electrolyte drinks taste. Its no big deal because it does the job, but don't expect anything too tastey. Also bare in mind everyone has different tastes, maybe you'll love it!

They do the job well though I find them very strong in taste so tend to have 1 Lemon and 1 Orange together.

This is the best value ORS (oral rehydration salts) available in the UK. I don't wanna come across overly passionate about salt but as a connoisseur of ORS salts from London to Bangkok, as well as Kathmandu and Saigon (connoisseur that specialises in UK and Asia) as well as a great believer in hydration I cannot recommend oral rehydration salts enough. Great for sunburn, exercise, fluid loss, hangover or even everyday-use to ensure adequate hydration, either home or away. These are low cost compared to their local UK competitors (Kathmandu boasts the lowest cost hydration options known to me), O.R.S sweeps in to soak up the market that don't buy into Dioralyte's "medical premium"*, and that is fine by me as they are taaasty. However, I must stress that O.R.S seem to be one of the only brands of cheap ORS that are available on the UK internet and I'm sure another brand could offer a similarly beneficial and tasty product at a lower price. Admittedly the price is rather steep at a glance, but consider that for £7 you can guarantee almost a month's worth of hydration; translate that into 'per day hydration cost' and you have high cost to benefit ratio due to the derogative costs associated with dehydration**. Do some research into the negative impacts dehydration has if you are not clear. They are also highly portable; I always like to keep them handy in my rucksack in case I or someone else requires them when I am out and about. In regards to some of the lower rated comments (of course everyone is entitled to their opinion): the plastic packaging is necessary to prevent the tablets reacting to moisture in the air, leave one out in the open for a day and see what I mean, though the if the cardboard packing could be done away with that would be beneficial; remember cardboard is widely recyclable across the UK and to take advantage of these schemes. Solubility is dependent on two things: heat and motion; I always use a smidge of warm/hot water to dissolve the tablets fast and effectively (I usually prefer to take my hot with unbranded multi-vitamin tablets in a pint glass***). If you prefer yours cold, or do not have access to warming facilities (possibly if you are outdoors enjoying a well-hydrated being) you can use a plastic bottle (reuse is more environmentally friendly than recycling if possible) and shake it vigorously, or use a stirrer if a glass is being used. To reduce the amount of sediment lost, try swirling the last mouth full around the glass or bottle before drinking so the liquid can transport the final salts. Not everyone will like this as sometimes the final bit of sediment is not as tasty as the rest, for these people the inability to catch the last of the sediment could be considered useful.As stated earlier, if a lower cost alternative could be produced that would be fantastic, though try buying in bulk to reduce overall costs. Remember always keep hydrated, if you begin to feel fatigued or ill ask yourself if you've drank enough hydrating fluids today and if not you can always try sourcing some before turning to medication or stimulants as a pick me up. Oral rehydration salts can be used to speed up rehydration. Thank you for reading. *I have no health qualification, I cannot comment on the medicinal benefits of Dioralyte comapared to O.R.S and I usually keep a sachet or two of Dioralyte around for when I suffer severe fluid loss. ** I do, however, possess an economics qualification, and I deem myself fit to informally estimate such a calculation. I am, as always, open to contravening evidence if such evidence exists. ***I stress hot and not boiling, from personal experience I can tell you that certain glasses can break if filled with boiling water. Please use caution.

I know that they’re meant to be salty but it’s almost overpowering with salt. Although I would say it’s a good value for money.

Highly recommend ORS tablets. Great for electrolyte replenishment and certainly helps if you feel a bit groggy from your previous night out!! Not a cure but definitely helps. I always have a pack in my case when travelling, which can be very tiring, and they helped with jet lag on a previous trip. May not work for everyone but definitely helped me. Tried other brands but always return to ORS as I find them value for money with a great taste.

These are a great product , I have used them before. Just a Hydration Tablet, exactly what I want. Wow! I Ordered yesterday evening and delivered early this morning. Fantastic service.

Good product! Taste nice

Great product for getting rehydrated quickly in harsh environments

Great product, great service too.

Electrolytes help your body retain water. I use it when i feel i haven’t had enough hydration for two days or more. I also bought when I was sick and on antibiotics to keep me hydrated.

Good taste and very effective! Highly recommended!!
