GU Energy, Electrolyte Powder Hydration Drink Tablets, Tri-Berry, 1 Tube
GU Energy Hydration Electrolyte Drink Tablets provide a hydration boost by supplementing water with electrolytes, and replenishing the sodium that is lost through sweat, for improved performance and recovery while training and racing. Each drink tab contains just 10 calories, in addition to 320 milligrams of sodium and 55 milligrams of potassium to help maintain water balance and enhance muscle function as electrolytes are depleted by exercise and exertion. Tablets are easily dissolved in 16 ounces of water, perfect for dropping into a sport bottle or bike bottle for hydration on-the-go, pre-workout, and while running, cycling, or exercising at the gym. The light, effervescent tablets are also appropriate for everyday use, during illness, travel, and hot weather, or anytime a boost in sustenance or recovery is needed. GU Energy Hydration Electrolyte Drink Tablets come in two sizes: a 4-count box or 8-count box of portable tubes, which fit easily in pockets, jerseys, and running belts. Each tube contains 12 tablets. Strawberry Hibiscus is the only Hydration Tabs flavor with caffeine (20mg), all others are caffeine-free. All flavors are made with vegan ingredients.

Middle aged male approved.
Okay, so I am a middle aged male who in mid life crisis decided to run a marathon. Let me provide more context. I’m not a fit middle aged guy who is in shape and thought I’d run a bit longer. I’m the guy that you cannot tell if he’s 80 or 30 and not in a good way. But I do set goals and at around 50 and fresh after getting my MBA decided to run a marathon.
So I started “training” with a buddy. Another friend who happens to be an honest to goodness medical doctor talked to me about my training and I said I just go for a jog and drink water.
He highly encouraged me to drink something other than water.
So I got some of this. And I’m still here.
I haven’t died. I haven’t had other symptoms that include things that may get filtered from my comments.
I’m currently running 15 miles in about 4 hours. Go ahead and laugh, but I’m out there trying. And this stuff may or may not be helping. But it tastes good. I’m still alive and for a 50 ish year old guy, that’s not too shabby.
Now about the shoes that I’m wearing that have holes in them….

I like them! I wish more flavors were available!
I really like this. I have POTS and I use these tablets to stay hydrated . The flavor is good. They dissolve completely and they’re easy to use. I like them and I’ll definitely buy them again. I wish more flavors were available.

good nuun alternative
I used to be a big fan of Nuun tablets. unfortunately, most of their flavors are not EBT eligible except for the lemon lime. I decided to try this as an alternative. Not only is it a good price, but it also has 12 tablets in the tube instead of 10. the flavor was crisp, fruity, and not overbearing. it was an interesting change from my usual electrolyte brands and flavors. some of the tablets were partially broken inside the tube when i received them, and it is annoying to have to break the tablet in half to fit in a plastic water bottle. but I’d say this is a good brand, especially if you’re on a budget.
