Where To Buy High 5 Zero Individual Tablets?

CleeRider

Anyone know where to obtain individual tablets, each in it's own packet?
I'd like to put 2 or 3 in my saddle bag and it's too full to put a tube in.
If I take one out of the tube it reacts with air etc in a few hours and turns to mush.

I've had some of these samples in the past but have run out.

Cling film? Tin foil?

I have only seen the individual tabs in 'value' packs that contain other products such as gels and carb powders, i've never seen them sold individually.

They are very handy indeed. I stock pile them when PBK and Wiggle send out 2-3 in a High 5 envelope. Wrapping them in foil doesn't work at all.

Have a look in Boots or somewhere similar to see what they have. There's usually a some empty containers of various sizes in the travel section.

Would a Kinder egg toy container work?

If you buy a High 5 bottle they very often come with a half tube inside them, definitely small enough to put in your jersey pocket or saddle bag.

I think it wouldn't be very cost effective if you could, as above cling film or foil would probably work or maybe a contact lenses case?

I've used cling film before, still ends up as mush!

How many water bottles are you carrying?

Assuming two bottles and assuming you put 1-2 tablets in each bottle then if you are carrying spare tablets means your stopping to fill up your water bottles once they are empty.
What about a powder sachet option instead?

Can't you cut the top off an old tube to the required 2/3 tablet length and use the stopper supplied?

The option I go for is a small travel size powder container and I use the powder supplments instead.

However, the ultimate simplicity option is a sachet of salt and a sachet of sugar, because 80% of what you need is right there.

I have a bunch of them that I dont use, they were free in High 5 race packs & samples from Evans Cycles rideit events - PM me your address and I would be happy to post you some.

What about the small 35mm camera film tubes.
Perfect for carrying a few tablets.

Something like this might be of use?

There is no sugar in high five zero, in fact zero

Charity ride yesterday when I would need to refill bottles so took two tablets loose in a freezer bag - sealed - and no problems after 75 miles. Not quite sre therefore how yours tuned to mush.

Yeah, but some people prefer the tabs for just that... so it makes your water taste better!!

I pop a Nuun into my bottle, not for the electrolyte replacement, but it makes the water taste better, especially when it gets a bit warm.

Buy some Rennies indegestion tablets in bubble packs. Pop one into youir mouth after you finish your bottles of isotonic water.

Each tablet also contains Calcium Carbonate 680mg (equivalent of 272mg Calcium) and Heavy Magnesium Carbonate 80mg. Each tablet also contains sucrose (250mg), glucose (250mg), spearmint flavour, talc, povidone, saccharin sodium and magnesium stearate.

I like them for the flavour as well, i quite often take one of the tiny bottles of ultra concentrated robinsons called squashd which is even handier for this.
