Why Pay More For Electrolyte Tablets?

When you are out cycling on the bike, it is important to hydrate yourself and replace the electrolytes lost due to sweating. One of the easiest ways of doing this is to use an electrolyte tablet dissolved in water and the carried on the bike in a bidon.

One of the leading brands of electrolyte tabs is The High 5 Zero, specifically marketed as sports nutrition and hydration, retailing at around £8 or $10. These tabs work great and do exactly what they say they will. However, I recently visited my local ALDI and found a much cheaper electrolyte alternative, retailing at less than £1 or $1.50.

But can a budget alternative electrolyte tab, contain the same amount of active ingredients as the market leader costing ten times the amount?

I read the small print on the pack to see if it really is worth it and ask why pay more for electrolyte tablets.
