Hydration tablets are small, edible tablets that contain electrolytes. They are a convenient way to replace electrolytes lost through sweat.
Hydration tablets are not only beneficial for those who don't drink enough water on a daily basis, but also for athletes, construction workers, and others who need to stay hydrated throughout the day. They have been shown to increase energy levels and decrease fatigue. In addition, they help maintain healthy blood pressure levels and reduce the risk of kidney stones.
The ingredients in these tablets vary depending on what they are meant for but generally include sodium chloride (salt), potassium chloride (potassium), calcium lactate (calcium), magnesium citrate (magnesium) and aspartic acid (amino acid).
