Hydralyte Effervescent Electrolyte tablets
Don’t let dehydration ruin your vacation. Things are now heating up as we are heading towards summer, and it is essential to stay hydrated, especially when outdoors. Hydralyte has recently released its latest flavour, tropical in its effervescent electrolyte tablets range to make staying hydrated a tasty affair. Pop a tablet in a glass or bottle of water to manage the loss of bodily fluids, otherwise known as holiday gate-crashers, vomiting and diarrhoea.
It may also help control dehydration symptoms through heavy sweating due to environmental factors or all from that vigorous exercise you have undertaken climbing or hiking mountains. And of course, it helps with the occasional holiday hangover – the ultimate morning-after life-saver!
Hydralyte Effervescent Electrolyte pack of 20 tablets available from all leading pharmacies from $16.19
