Zero-Berry

This product was as described, arrived on time in great condition. I wish the company had a multi pack instead of just ordering one at a time, especially for the cost. I use them for when I hike, mountain bike or snowshoe. They're handy to have in the car too.

Great flavour for water in my CamelBak - I have used this biking the Golden Gate Bridge, as well as in DisneyWorld (the kids I traveled with LOVED it - plus it got them hydrated without any sugary nasties), and I use it whenever I use my CamelBak - absolutely recommended.

Taste great.

Delicious!

For now 2 stars. I am an avid road cyclist and also a type 2 diabetic. I like that these have no sugar and are low in potassium. I was sent a sample packet consisting of two berry tabs, one pink grapefruit tab, and one citrus energy gel. I dissolved 1 berry tab into a 25oz bottle then poured half into my ride bottle. Ten miles into my ride I took a swig and few more every 10 minutes or so. I was pleasantly surprised that it did not have an overly sodium taste and the berry flavor was not over the edge either. - it tasted somewhat pleasant. After 20 minutes I felt a low energy boost. Those are the positives. The negative, and what turns me off, is the clammy thick saliva after taste it leaves in my mouth. Perhaps a second bottle filled with water would help wash away the thick saliva. I will update after I try this, the pink grapefruit and also after I try the gel.

El producto en si parece funcionar y tiene buena pinta (probado en una sola salida), pero la fecha de caducidad no llega a dos meses lo que me parece un periodo excesivamente corto que además podrían haber indicado. Conclusión: buen producto, vendedor un pelín cara dura.

I love these hydration tablets - they've been my saviour since starting intermittent fasting (16/8) 6 weeks ago. My first week of fasting made me feel lethargic with headaches every night during my fast. I also felt hungry and couldn't sleep. I almost gave up fasting until I read about electrolytes, so I purchased these. I've been taking two to three tablets daily, depending on how I feel. I have a Tropical or Berry flavoured tablet dissolved in water to use during 20 to 30-mile Zwift rides/races. During the night (when fasting and feeling hungry), I break up a Berry flavoured tablet to suck on - it tastes great and is similar to Barrat Refreshers. I found that Tropical is the best flavour to use in water followed closely by Strawberry & Kiwi. These two flavours taste too artificial to suck on. Berry is fine in water but improves with a dash of no added sugar berry flavoured squash. These tablets have boosted my performance on the bike (I no longer drink sugary Lucozade) and have irradicated headaches, lethargy and hunger pangs before bed. I'm starting my 7th week of fasting and 15lbs down with another 15-20lbs to go. I've struggled with weight for the past 20 years and tried every diet going. Fasting is the only diet (or I should call it a lifestyle) that works, and these tablets are a must for this new way of life. Update (6th June 2021): I've now lost 25lbs (11.3kg) since 14th March, and that includes a recent weeks holiday filled with plenty of beer and food (with desserts). I can't quite believe how fasting has transformed my body, and these tabs have been a key part of this process. ​I've gone from XL t-shirts to Medium and have never been happier! I plan to have a six-pack by August. :) Update (24th September 2021): I've lost 35lbs (2.5 stone), reaching my goal weight back in mid-August. I'm now working on body recomposition to get more definition with weight training, less cardio, more protein (supplementing with Myprotein Impact Whey Protein shakes), and lowering carbs (but not cutting them out). I just had a big bowl of lasagne with garlic bread :). I'm still fasting roughly 16 hours (between 8 pm and 12 pm) as it's a way of life for me, and I still use these tabs daily for exercise and fasting. I eat two meals a day with the occasional sweet treat and a few beers down the pub. I have never tracked food intake from day one but have a good understanding of nutrition and macronutrients. I used to eat a big bowl of porridge for breakfast, but now I have a big 4-egg omelette stuffed with ham, mushroom, and cheese with half a tin of baked beans. I'm no longer weighing myself daily since reaching my goal weight but keep myself in check with the trusty tape measure.

Good hydration and electrolyte replacement: the tablet supply sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and chloride the key electrolytes you lose through sweat that makes them more effective than plain water for rehydration during exercise hot weather or prolonged activity. Sugar-free low-calorie and easy on digestion. The convenience and portable the tablets dissolve quickly in water and come in a small tube - so easy to carry in your gym bag or backpack - ideal for training sessions cycling cycling or post workout hydration on the go. They’ve got added vitamin C and some green tea extract which helps with fatigue and supports recovery and immune function. They taste really good and they’re drinkable. It’s a nice fruity flavour which is not overly sweet or artificial tasting and they don’t taste salty as an aftertaste.

I’m at the stage where we need to question EVERYTHING. So I asked ChatGBT & copied & pasted the list of ingredients. Listed below if you’d like to read. The main points I took was tooth enamel erosion. So I will make sure I will drink through a straw from now on. Steel or glass straw of course. Not plastic! And, over consumption can lead to electrolyte imbalance! Ironically. Which might be because when we take a supplement the body eases off making it? That’s a guess that just came to me… My & my son really enjoy these & it’s better than Pepsi… which kills our valuable gut Microbiome… then us as most did-ease starts in the gut. Upside down & back to front it reads isded for a reason… not to mention the nano particles they’re putting in it for our brain… thanks Microsoft for partnering with Pepsi & Coca Cola! Thanks for listing the full ingredients — let’s go through them carefully one by one. None of these jump out as directly carcinogenic, but some may have potential downsides depending on dosage, sensitivity, or long-term use. ⸻ Breakdown of Ingredients Acidity Regulators (Citric Acid, Malic Acid) • Generally safe — naturally occurring in fruits. • Can cause dental enamel erosion in excess or when consumed frequently in drinks. Sodium Bicarbonate • Baking soda. Safe in small doses. • Overuse may upset electrolyte balance. Firming Agent (Sorbitols) • A sugar alcohol. Generally safe, but in high amounts can cause bloating, gas, and diarrhea. Magnesium Carbonate, Calcium Carbonate • Mineral sources, commonly used as antacids or calcium/magnesium supplements. Safe at reasonable intake levels. Sodium Citrate, Potassium Citrate • Used for regulating acidity and electrolytes. Safe in moderate use. Natural Flavourings • Generally considered safe, though “natural flavour” is a broad label. Beetroot Concentrate, Black Carrot Concentrate, Curcuma (Turmeric) Powder • Plant-based colourings/extracts. Safe, and may even have antioxidant/anti-inflammatory benefits. L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) • Essential vitamin. Safe in most doses, though very high intake can cause digestive upset. Leucine • An essential amino acid. Safe and beneficial, especially for muscle metabolism. Green Tea Leaves Extract (Camellia Sinensis) • Usually beneficial (antioxidant, metabolism support). • Very high concentrated extracts (especially in supplements) can stress the liver in rare cases. Sodium Chloride • Table salt. Fine in moderation, but too much increases blood pressure risk. Sweetener (Sucralose) • Artificial sweetener. Extensively studied. • Not considered carcinogenic, but high intake may disrupt gut microbiome in some people, and there’s some debate about long-term metabolic effects. ⸻ Potential Concerns • Sucralose: not a proven carcinogen, but long-term metabolic/gut effects are still debated. • Sorbitol: harmless but can cause digestive upset in excess. • Green Tea Extract: safe in small doses, but very concentrated extracts have been linked to rare liver issues. • Acidity Regulators: can erode teeth if consumed frequently. ⸻ ✅ No ingredient here is classified as carcinogenic. ⚠️ The main watchpoints are artificial sweetener (sucralose), sugar alcohols (sorbitol), and concentrated green tea extract, depending on sensitivity and dosage. ⸻

These are great and they arent causing dusty dry water which is great as some others cause a weird texture. They have quite a distinct smell and taste however if it is too much breaking the tablet in half or adding more water is easy as they can be quite strong and the tablets are quite big. However they do get a little dusty if taking somewhere with you. Mine sit in my work bag and have accumulated quite a bit of dust so I may have to start using them as powder rather than tablets
