Precision HydrationElectrolyte Tablets - Multi Strength Effervescent Hydration Tablets - Combats Cramp - Low Calorie, Gluten Free, Vegan/Vegetarian Friendly (1 Tube, 1000mg/L - Orange Tube)

Quick Review.....Great product. Had never understood the importance of salts in hydration before being introduced to Precision Hydration. Since using it, have not had cramps, aches and pains. Have used in preparation for and during a marathon and also an Ironman. The team at Precision Hydration are also excellent. Extremely helpful and even rang me up before my Ironman to talk me through my hydration plan. How many companies do that! High recommend.Long Review......I'm writing this review with the benefit of having run a marathon earlier in the year and also completing an Ironman last week and I structured my hydration for both based on Precision Hydration products – and their advice.I was introduced to Precision Hydration products by an ultra-marathon runner earlier in the year and whilst having a good idea about the importance of electrolytes, I had never really given too much thought to getting sufficient salts on board.The Precision Hydration website allows you to do a simple sweat test and it will ‘suggest’ the right combination of their products. I’m what is described as a heavy sweater!The night before the London Marathon (actually it was the Reverse Marathon that starts at 4am on the Mall) I drank a 500ml bottle of water with one PH1500 tab. When I woke up I drank the same. This is to ensure I start the race hydrated and with the right level of salts on board. With no fuel stations enroute I was carrying everything in my hydration pack. I put two PH1500 tabs in my 1.5ltr bladder. I also took a strip of PH salt tabs too and took three of these enroute in the latter half of the run. I got to the end in great shape, just tired. On reflection, the better understanding of and use of salts, prevented me from getting cramps. I was very happy.Throughout my training for my Ironman, I continued to use PH tabs. I followed the same pre-race drinking on the eve and morning of my race then once out of the swim and onto my bike, had two 750ml bottle loaded up with 2 x PH 100 tabs to ensure I got off to a good start and replaced lost electrolytes from the swim. Maintaining my hydration on the bike was easy with the tabs and I finished the bike in good shape. Once on the run, I carried 9 salt tabs and took these over the course. I crossed the line tired but in good physical shape, I had no aches or pains and I am convinced that this had something to do with my better understanding of salts.Beyond the product, the team at Precision Hydration is great. They are athletes themselves and really understand what their products do. I’ve had some good email exchanges with them, and following one email, even got a call a couple of days before my Ironman to talk me through my hydration plan. Now that is great customer service.I forgot to mention the flavour! It’s kind of a mix of lemon and grapefruit. It’s really mild and not at all sweet, so sits in the stomach really well. There is no way I could drink 5 litres of regular isotonic fluids for the duration but Precision Hydration, for me, was perfect.

My primary objective is to hydrate, I've tried other hydration tablets that left me thirsty, needing the toilet of simply tasting awful. Having fell upon these from a running blog, I thought I'd give them a try. Have to say I've been really impressed, it leaves water tasting and feeling 'soft', its easy to drink, no bitter after taste and they are great value for money.I now ensure I take these with all my water, whether I'm running or not to hydrate and keep hydrated, especially before, during and after those long runs

Taken to prevent leg cramps at night and seems to to the job.

As a heavy sweater these are a godsend when running ultramarathons especially in the heat. Not the tastiest but definitely very effectively.

I tested this over 5 days of bikepacking across the Canaries. I sweat a lot and end up with salty crusty clothes. I used 2-3 tabs per day for 8-10hrs of riding with a lot of climbing. Neutral taste. No complaints. I’ve ordered a pack of 12 to last me this year!

The only ones I will use nowThese have aided my running for the past few years nowFantastic quality, and worth the money

I think I must have tried almost every product of this type on the market over the past 15 years and most seem ineffective to me. Precision Hydration feel like the first company to recognise that different people sweat at different rates which seems blindingly obvious when you say it. I happen to sweat a lot which is is a challenge on long distance and multiday bike rides. These PH1500 tablets have really helped cure my in ride and post ride cramps. They taste fine and in tablet form are easy to carry in my bikepacking kit bags.

I've tried all variations and while I really want to like it, it always gives me stomach craps.Precision Hydration is a great company, and I generally really like their products, but those hydration tablets do not agree with my body.Probably give it a try (they are not too expensive) and see how your body reacts.They taste ok.
