5 Reasons to Add Hydrate to Your Water (Because Water Isn’t Always Enough)
Running, gym sessions, padel, tennis or 18 holes in the heat. When you sweat, you lose more than water. That salty taste on your lips is there for a reason: you’re losing electrolytes too. Plain water replaces the fluid, but little of those minerals. Add one Hydrate tablet to help replace them, with B vitamins and vitamin C too. Same water. More complete hydration.

Helps replace what sweat takes out
Sweat is salty for a reason. You’re losing water and sodium, along with smaller amounts of potassium and magnesium. Lose enough fluid without replacing it, and your performance can take a knock. Replacing lost sodium helps your body retain fluid as you rehydrate. Hydrate adds all three electrolytes to your bottle, including 337 mg of sodium per tablet, to help replenish what you lose in sweat.
Supplies electrolytes your muscles rely on
Every run, pedal pedal and gym rep depends on signals between your nerves and muscles. Sodium and potassium help carry those signals. Magnesium supports normal muscle function. Each Hydrate tablet supplies 74 mg of potassium and 20 mg of magnesium, alongside sodium. Three minerals with real jobs to do.
Hydration helps you handle the heat
The South African heat does not mess around. Your body cools itself as sweat evaporates. Lose too much fluid, and controlling your temperature becomes harder. Staying hydrated helps support that cooling process. Sodium helps maintain your body’s fluid balance. Hydrate adds sodium, potassium and magnesium to your water, helping replace electrolytes lost in sweat. Take a bottle onto the padel court or along for your next round of golf.
Adds vitamin support for energy and immunity
Food provides the fuel. The six B vitamins in Hydrate help your body turn it into usable energy. Each tablet also supplies 128 mg of vitamin C to support normal immune function. Electrolytes, plus everyday vitamin support. All in the water you were going to drink anyway.
Makes everyday hydration ridiculously easy
No scoops. No powder to measure. Just drop one tablet into 600 ml of water and let it dissolve. Your usual water becomes a refreshing Lime, Orange or Raspberry drink with added electrolytes and vitamins. Zero sugar. Zero calories. One tablet. One bottle. Done. Keep a tube in your bag. Your next bottle is sorted.

“For years I battled during and after intense exercise and thought it was just the way I am. Was introduced to Hydrate fizzers a few years ago and what a difference it made both during and especially after training or events and for recovery. I now never exercise without it.”
“I run with a hydration vest, so pop 1 tablet in each bottle and off I go. I have only had the Raspberry flavor so far, but love the subtle, bitter taste. Makes long runs so much better and I can actually feel the difference during my run. I take another tablet after to help with recovery.”
“I've played around with several products but settled on Hydrate exclusively for almost two years. Always in my back pocket on rides and in my race bag. Was the perfect drink for Knysna Extreme Triathlon and Norseman Xtreme Triathlon.”
“I use it every day, even when I am not training. When I am training, whether it be a bike, a trail run, a strength session, Hydrate gets me feeling refreshed!”
“Great tasting, zero side-effect, highly effective rehydrate fizzy for post work-out renewal, or just as a refreshing drink after a long day in the office (or in my case, in the orchestra).”
Before you choose
A few good questions.
The details that help you choose a flavour, a pack and a place in your routine.
Who is Hydrate Tabs for?
Anyone who sweats, and anyone who forgets to drink enough water. The gym, Hyrox, golf, padel, tennis, hockey, rugby, your Saturday parkrun: Hydrate Tabs are made for the sport most of us do every week.
It is not only for sport. You lose fluid and electrolytes all day, at the office, in the car or on site, not only in training. Drop one tab in your desk bottle and sip it through the workday. Lime, Orange or Raspberry makes that bottle much easier to finish.
What if I sweat heavily or train for a long time?
Then step up to Hydrate 1000. If you sweat buckets and the session is long, hot or intense, it is the one to take. Think a 10K, 15K or 20K in the heat, a half or full marathon, a long ride, a full Ironman or a full game of rugby. Each sachet carries 1000 mg of sodium, about three times a Hydrate tab.
Tip: use both as one hydration plan. Sip Hydrate Tabs through the day before your event. On the day, drink a Hydrate 1000 in the hour before the start and keep sipping it during the effort. Anything long and serious deserves a full hydration plan, not a guess.
Does Hydrate stop cramps?
Hydrate helps replace electrolytes lost in sweat. Cramping can have several causes, and Hydrate does not promise to prevent or stop it.
For the moment a cramp hits, we make Cramp Assalt. It is a 10 g snap sachet you open with one hand and take straight from the pack, mid-race or mid-session. Athletes keep one in a pocket for exactly that moment. In Celeste's words: "If you do start to cramp, it takes it away in less than a minute."
Can I use it every day?
Yes. Hydrate Tabs are designed for everyday use, on training days and rest days. Drop one tab into 600 to 700 ml of water and drink to thirst.
What does it taste like?
Light and not too sweet. That is what reviewers mention most. Choose Lime, Orange or Raspberry, each with zero sugar and zero calories. As Lauren Badenhorst wrote: "Nice subtle lime flavour, not too sweet."
Is it vegan, gluten free, Halaal and Kosher?
Yes. Hydrate Tabs are vegan, gluten free, Halaal certified and Parev (Kosher). The colour and flavour are natural, with no artificial colours.
Can I mix flavours?
Yes. You pick the flavour for each tube, so three tubes can be Lime, Orange and Raspberry. A tube contains 20 tablets.
How much is delivery?
Delivery is free on orders over R850 in South Africa. Below that, you see the delivery cost at checkout before you pay.
