SiS Hydro Tablets Pineapple and Mango
Pineapple and mango give this flavour a tropical character without tasting sweet, as there is no sugar. SiS Hydro Tablets Pineapple and Mango provide the electrolytes you lose through sweat: sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, supplemented with vitamins B1, B2, and B6. The tablet also contains green tea extract and dissolves quickly in 500 ml of water. Lactose, gluten, and soy-free, suitable for vegans.
Sodium is not just salt
Of all the electrolytes you lose through sweat, sodium accounts for the largest amounts. Depending on your body and conditions, you lose 200 to 2000 milligrams per litre of sweat. But it's not just about that quantity itself. Without enough sodium, your body retains less water. You can drink large amounts of water and still be dehydrated because your kidneys quickly eliminate fluid if there's too little sodium in your blood. Each tablet provides 345 mg of sodium, at a concentration of 30 mmol/L in 500 ml of water. This concentration was not chosen by chance.
30 mmol/L and British sailors in Beijing
In 2008, the British Olympic sailing team asked SiS for help with hydration. Sailors sweat a lot, even if it might seem contradictory, and fluid loss in changing weather and wind conditions makes hydration difficult to manage. SiS formulated a tablet that provides exactly 30 mmol/L of sodium in 500 ml of water, the concentration that scientific studies have repeatedly shown to be more effective than plain water for rehydration. Since then, the formula has remained almost unchanged because it works. Four electrolytes in each tablet: sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Not one, not two.
Three B vitamins, a modest but tangible addition
Vitamins B1, B2, and B6 are not the main players in this product, but they are present. Vitamins B1 and B2 contribute to the conversion of carbohydrates into energy. Vitamin B6 plays a role in protein metabolism. The amounts are modest: 0.2 mg of B1, 0.3 mg of B2, and 0.4 mg of B6 per tablet, representing 18%, 21%, and 29% of the daily reference intake respectively. No exaggerated promises. Simply a useful supplement in a product you drink anyway.
Who is this product for?
For athletes who want to stay hydrated during shorter workouts without consuming carbohydrates or sugars. Or for people who drink more than usual in hot weather and want to supplement their electrolytes. The tablet dissolves in 500 ml of water, contains almost no calories, and is suitable for vegans. Each batch is tested by Informed Sport for prohibited substances on the WADA list, so competitive athletes can use it without fear.
Pineapple and mango is the most pronounced flavour in the range, a good choice for those who want to drink something tropical after a workout without falling into a sugar bomb. Combines well with plain water or as a supplement to a carbohydrate source during longer efforts.
