- ZERO is the new electrolyte sport drink tablet from High5. It is designed for use before, during and after exercise. One tablet dropped into 500ml of water produces a delicious, refreshing, zero-sugar, low-carb, anti-cramp electrolyte drink with added magnesium.
- Each tube contains 20 tablets and makes 10 litres of electrolyte drink. Whatever your sport, whatever the terrain, you can throw a tube of ZERO in your bag and stay hydrated all day long. On long rides or endurance events simply drop the tube in your jersey or pack and turn every water stop into a source of optimal hydration. The effervescent tablets dissolve immediately to give you a light, refreshing non-fizzy drink packed with electrolytes.
- By increasing the amount of fat burnt using ZERO and GT100 and reducing your calorie intake during exercise (the carbohydrate in a normal sports drink contains calories) it's a good bet that will be on track to loose some body fat. Research is underway to see exactly how much.
- This is a protocol where you train low without carbohydrate (using ZERO for example) and compete high with a carbohydrate drink like EnergySource. The theory is that by forcing your body to train without carbohydrate you adapt and burn more fat overall as fuel. In addition you are able to tolerate low glycogen levels better in race conditions. This is currently practiced by a number of pro cycling teams. High 5 have one research study running and are scheduling others to look at this in depth.
- ZERO is part of the High5 Fat Burn system. This comes in 2 parts: ZERO and GT100, a green tea extract. The aim of the system is to increase the amount of fat oxidised (burnt) during exercise. In preliminary testing at Glasgow University, replacing carbohydrate drinks with ZERO has substantially increased the amount of fat burnt during exercise for athletes under test. Adding GT100 our new green tea extract has increased this even further. By using GT100 and ZERO together we have seen increases in fat oxidation above 80% compared to carbohydrate drinks. GT100 will be available once testing is finalised in a few months.

Product Description
ZERO is the new electrolyte drink from High5; it's virtually calorie free (1.4 cal per 100ml) and has a light refreshing taste. Researchers have also found that simply drinking Zero instead of a normal carbohydrate sport drink, 22 participants burned on average 41% more fat during exercise. Independently tested; Faculty of Biomedical and Life Sciences, University of Glasgow.Zero is easy to use; drop a tablet in your bottle and it quickly dissolves in water to give you a delicious, refreshing, advanced electrolyte drink with added magnesium. The small recyclable tube contains 20 tablets and makes 15 litres of drink in your own reusable sports bottle, which means optimal hydration with less waste so it's good for the environment too.Zero can be an essential part of your anti-cramp strategy as cramp has been linked to both dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Zero contains; sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium.Zero is perfect for runners, cyclists, hikers, the gym, pro athletes, footballers, racket sports or anyone who wants to stay active and hydrated.TipsFor ultra light no clutter cycling, just wrap one or two individual tablets in cling film or aluminium foil and slip them in your jersey.ZERO has a very light taste, for normal use mix one tablet per 750ml of water.

Flavor Name:Berry|Amazon Verified Purchase
These are really good and easy to use. No mixing or shaking and the taste is good. All works out a lot cheaper than buying sports drinks off the shelf. However I would say the Amazon image is deceiving as it is only 1 tube and not 3.

Flavor Name:Berry
Long distance runners are at much higher risk of hyponatraemia (electrolyte imbalance) than of de-hydration and this can cause nausea, vomiting and even be potentially fatal. There are apparently no reported cases of people dying from de-hydration in any world marathon or Ironman event, but a significant number have died of hyponatraemia. The cause is normally that people drink too much water and so dilute their concentration of electrolytes with potentially fatal results. When exercising it is important not to drink too much water and to try and maintain the body's electrolyte balance.
High5 Zero come in tubes of twenty tablets and each tablet will when mixed with water make 0.5 to 0.75 litres of electrolyte solution. The tablets are quite hard and maintain their shape and consistency even when the tube is dropped. They are scored down the centre to make them easy to snap in half, this make it possible to drop them into a bottle with only a think neck.
One of the best features of these tablets is their taste. They are really refreshing and not sweet or sticky like some others. The orange and the berry flavours are my favourite; the orange flavour is perhaps a little stronger than the berry. They taste good even at room temperature - even in the sauna (but doesn't any drink taste good in a sauna?)
The tube is robust and easy to carry. This makes them easy to take on holiday or to go hiking with. I did used to suffer periodically with cramp when I was running which is what prompted me to try these. I don't suffer with cramp anymore and I don't think that this is simply a coincidence.
The tablets may seem a little expensive but in fact when you consider that a single tube will make 10-15 litres of delicious tasting electrolyte solution the cost seems far more reasonable.
My only reservation is than an average person will sweat at the rate of around 1 litre per hour during extended exercise and that sweat will contain approximately 900mg of sodium. Each High5 tablet contains 260mg of sodium, 75mg of Potassium, 60mg of Magnesium and 9mg of Calcium, and so a single tablet in 0.5l of water would still result in sodium levels becoming depleted during longer races. For such long races you would probably need two tablets per 0.5l to mitigate this more fully.
I will still give these tablets a considered five stars for their taste, efficacy and ease of use. It's no drama to put an extra tablet in the bottle for longer periods of running.

Flavor Name:Citrus
I used this product on Monday of this week before I ran the Dublin marathon & I think it was really helpful from the point of view of keeping my muscles cramp free. The only criticism I have is that you need to use the tabs with a lot of water so its not very practicle on the move. On the morning of the race I mixed 2 tabs in 750mls of water & then divided it between 2 smaller bottles. The first I drank before the race & the second as we set off. I really feel it helped & I was able to keep my electrolytes topped up throughout with powder saches requiring only 300mls of water as I went round the course. I have no hesitation in recommending these tabs as they are certainly easy to mix, do not leave a chalky residue & taste good.
