How to choose hydration tablets and hydration pills?

When buying fast hydration tablets, it is important to know whether you are only looking for proper hydration through the replacement of electrolytes and mineral salts, or whether you are also looking for an immediate energy supply.

Another aspect to consider is the format, as thanks to being a hydrating effervescent tablet, it offers rapid dissolution in the mixture and easy transport.

Benefits of hydration tablets from NDL Pro-Health

The main benefits of consuming hydration tablets are:

  • Fast absorption.

  • Rapid electrolyte replenishment: Hydration tablets are designed to replenish electrolytes lost through sweat, such as sodium, potassium and magnesium. These minerals are essential for the proper functioning of the body, and their replenishment is crucial to maintain hydration and prevent muscle fatigue.

  • Improved hydration: Hydration tablets dissolve quickly in water and provide a fast and convenient way to rehydrate during exercise or intense physical activity. By replenishing lost fluids, they help maintain the body's water balance and prevent dehydration.

  • Prevention of muscle cramps: The loss of electrolytes during intense exercise can increase the risk of muscle cramps. Hydration tablets help prevent this issue by replenishing lost electrolytes, helping maintain proper muscle function and reducing the risk of cramps.

  • Recovery support: After intense exercise or heat exposure, it is important to replenish lost fluids and electrolytes to support muscle recovery and prevent fatigue. Hydration tablets can be an important part of a recovery strategy by providing a fast and effective way to rehydrate and replenish electrolytes.

  • Portability and convenience: Hydration tablets are easy to carry and can be taken anywhere with a glass of water. This makes them ideal for outdoor activities, travel, sporting events or any situation where access to a sports drink or drinking water is difficult.

  • Hydration customisation: Hydration tablets come in a variety of flavours and formulations, allowing users to customise their hydration according to their individual preferences and needs. In addition, many brands offer sugar-free or low-calorie options for those looking to limit their carbohydrate intake or additional calories.


In summary, hydration tablets offer a convenient and effective way to stay hydrated and replenish electrolytes lost during intense exercise, heat exposure or any situation where hydration is crucial.

During prolonged exercise

During training sessions or sports competitions lasting more than one hour, especially in hot or humid conditions, sports hydration tablets can help replenish fluids and electrolytes lost through sweat. Taking these tablets with water during exercise can help maintain the body's water balance and prevent dehydration.

During outdoor activities

If you are practising outdoor sports, such as running, cycling, hiking or playing football under the sun, sports hydration tablets can be a convenient way to stay hydrated and prevent dehydration and heat exhaustion.

After intense exercise

After an intense training session or a demanding sports competition, especially if you have sweated a lot, it is important to replenish lost fluids and electrolytes to support muscle recovery and prevent fatigue. Taking sports hydration tablets with water after exercise can help speed up this recovery process.

In situations of dehydration

If you experience symptoms of dehydration during or after exercise, such as extreme thirst, dry mouth, dizziness or fatigue, sports hydration tablets can help you rehydrate quickly and effectively.

People often ask us

When is it better to use hydration tablets instead of plain water?

Hydration tablets are especially useful during prolonged training sessions or competitions, in hot conditions or when there is a high loss of sweat. They provide electrolytes that help replenish minerals lost through
sweating and support more complete hydration than water alone in these situations.

Do electrolyte tablets help prevent muscle cramps?

Electrolyte tablets help replenish minerals lost through
sweat, especially during intense exercise or in hot environments. Maintaining adequate hydration and a proper electrolyte balance is important for muscle function, although cramps can be caused by multiple factors and cannot be prevented solely through their consumption.

How should NDL hydration tablets be taken?

NDL hydration tablets should be dissolved in water following the dosage indicated on the packaging, usually one tablet in 500 ml. It is recommended to consume the drink before, during or after exercise, especially during prolonged sessions, in high temperatures or when sweat loss is high.

Are these tablets suitable for people looking to lose weight or who are fasting?

Yes, they can be a good option for people looking to control their calorie intake, as they provide electrolytes with a very low calorie content. If following a fasting protocol, their compatibility will depend on the type of fast being followed and individual goals, so it should be assessed on a personalised basis.
