Mrs Wally has thrown out my stockpile of NuuN tablets due to them being out of date. I tried to explain they were never going to be “out of date”, but then remembered rule number one of surviving holidays together.

Quick google reveals a bit of a shortage of the tablets, what’s the story?
Also any good alternatives you have found?

They have switch distributor from Madison to Extra so there may be short a break in supply.

High 5 versions are alreet. I’m quite sweaty and they do the trick

Pretty much any electrolyte tablet. SiS Go Hydro for example.

You could get a 500g bag of electrolyte powder from myprotein for 15 quid. You use about 1g per water bottle so it’s pretty good value!

Wiggle had some good deals on High5 and Sis recently. I prefer Nuun, but they work out a bit expensive at RRP.

Also any good alternatives you have found?

Getting fitter, eating healthy food, drinking water.

Amazing what you can do without marketing

50:50 fruit juice and water with a bit of salt

Aldi do them for about £2 a tube of 20. Dunno if it’s only when they have their cycling promotion on, but they add a tasty zing to your water bottle.

I lke nuun because they’re less weet than most of the others. Have some SIS ones now that are tolerable. The high 5 ones are vile.

Just paid £15 for one tube, yes one tube. It’s OK, I will take it out of Mrs Wally’s weekly allowance. I like NuuN, they don’t make my bottle reek, don’t affect my eczema and essentially stop the very painful post four/five hour of riding cramp.

£15!?!?!

A few flavours, available in single packs, and below RRP here http://www.roughrideguide.co.uk/Nuun-tablets—various-flavours

When did salt go out of date? 😯

SIS offer the same, so do others. I personally like the now discontinued Green Tea flavour and have stockpiles.

I also use SIS energy drink in moderation as I have found this to be much less irritating to my insides.

Water and a bag of salted peanuts.

I make my own. 1 potassium/vit c tablet, a bit of sea salt, a little sugar and a bit of squash in a large bottle.

Does the trick for me.

Since when did you turn into an Elephant Lee? 😯 😆

Only hung like one.
