Great sit down. Really enjoyed this conversation. I’ve been on carnivore for a year. I cheat every so often and go on sugar binges but as a whole I stick with it and feel better in all aspects. If you guys work out a lot and dont take in carbs you need to make sure you keep up your healthy fat intake or you’ll feel sluggish.
Bought some SIS Go Electrolyte Pink Grapefruit tablets (£8.00 for 20) the other day, which I recently tried out on a 70km ride. Whilst quite refreshing to drink in a diluted sort of way, I can’t say that my body noticed any difference? If they were in fact helping my body, then I think that I’ll follow the advice of Mr Wise Guy in future (see below), as its much cheaper, thank you:-)
You can buy electrolyte powder for peanuts from bulk powders or ebay. Failing that just put normal sugar and himalayan salt in Yr drinks and it will do almost same thing.
Amazon do a full box of 8tubes with 20 in per tube for between £28 and £42.
It’s estimated that 90 percent of the population is magnesium deficient and it’s pretty essential for sleep regulation.
The High 5 are £4 a tube, worth trying the Wiggle own brand as they are better priced but still sports specific. They also have recovery drink and gels.
Remembering my humble background in Pharmacology, I assure you that both concoctions are just different levels of the same rip-off. Most of what we sweat out is NaCl and KCl, everything else is negligible, at least during a 2-3-hour ride. Basically, all we need on a hot day is a pinch of salt (a source of sodium) in 500ml of water and one banana (a source of potassium) to eat sometime mid-ride. If you want to go fancy, brew 250ml of green tea, put it in a bidon, top it up with orange or grapefruit juice and add a pinch of salt. That will cost less than one tablet and it will cover all necessary nutrients and vitamins.
For a performance ride or a race, use the same drink, just add two tablespoons of honey to it and replace orange juice with mango juice. This will work better than a gel (or, rather, just like the gel, but without upsetting your stomach). The only possible drawback is that it will weigh you down 0.5 kg as opposed to the gel, which weighs next to nothing. However, water is needed anyway, and this drink is like the best of both worlds. For longer rides I take two bidons, and I have never had a bonk.
That is, of course, a recommendation for cyclists with normal sugar tolerance whose ability to use fast carbs as an energy source is not compromised.
I just make my own mix
1tbs of salt and 1tsp of koolaid and its works fine for me ��
The Aldi ones seem to be an alternative to Berrocca rather than an Electrolyte tab, hence the high Vit C, and your pee will be an interesting shade of yellow after using them continuously. Quite often the High5 Zero and SIS Hydro ones end up on sale somewhere for around £3.50 a tube. Worth keeping an eye out and stocking up, when the chance arises.
Yes, also LIDL sells them for a little over euro for 20 tabs in the same package. I like them because they taste great. However my friend who happened to be a pharmacist mentioned they are useless (all of them) and he even explained the principle how electrolytes should accumulate in a body and be released for energy and apparently in those tabs we are getting sorbitol and starch and not much more. So we need real fruits like bananas instead. This is one person (pharmacist) opinion, I am not pushing how true this is. I am still eating (drinking) them as they have nice mandarine flavour yumi! ��
Are rather brand guaranteed to have what’s in them as what they say on the label. That’s where I do not trust supplements no governing body
The SAD is a complete failure keto and carnivore have been a godsend for me,I only wish I knew the truth all those years I was listening to the doctors and government nutritional guidelines..
Fig Newtons in a sandwich baggy with potato chips (yeah, the chips get pulverized), Accel Gels (4:1 carbs to protein), and ususally a PBJ. I don’t always eat the PBJ though. I use safety pins to attach the gels and the other stuff go in the small pockets of the camel bak. Shot blocks are great, however, each time I have used them I ended up stopping to poop.
I like to make sole then put some of that into my glass of water. Makes me feel great!
Hi Leonard… here in Germany I bought at a Netto supermarket, 1 tube each of Magnisium, Calcium, and a multivitamin… the magnisium had 250mg pro tablet, the Calcium 500mg pro tablet and the multivitamin had Mag 112.5mg and Cal 200mg…. each tube with 17 tabs cost 55 €cents = 0,49 pence… but it’s a long way to come to safe 50%:-)… I’ll have to check the price at our Aldi
If I were you I’d stop taking these. Not healthy at all, in fact very bad for you; the best place for these are the bin. If you want to replenish your electrolytes do the following: half to a full lemon squeezed into a glass (vitamin C), half a tea spoon (minimum) of cream of tartar (potassium), two to three table spoons of organic cider vinegar with mother (acetic acid), half a tea spoon of Himalayan pink salt (sodium and trace minerals and potassium) topped up with hot filtered water. Also take a supplement of magnesium GLYCINATE. GLYCINATE is the preferred form of magnesium as it is easily absorbed, and does not cause as many problems as other form of magnesium do. Take this half an hour to one hour before you go on your ride. If it has been a particularly hot ride, and you have been sweating quite a bit, take another glass after you have finished.
I take magnesium only at night or after a long ride, seems to stop cramps ��
Not so much magnesium but more importantly your potassium. Magnesium and K+ share and odd relationship that magnesium won’t be replaced within the body without K+. The other lures are very important in their own way but just a bit of a fun fact without going into too much detail.
I out a quarter teaspoon of tablet salt, a banana and a magnesium tablet. You’ll get all you need.
As soon as something is marketed for cyclists the price goes way up! They know their market. Here in the states the ingredients are listed in order of amount contained therein. Often times a product is produced in the same factory and labeled differently for different markets. I always try to research what I am buying because of this. EVERYTHING in the states is MARKETING!! You can ALWAYS find a cheaper alternative if you look, often times with the EXACT same ingredients!! It’s quite annoying.
One thing I’d caution…which ever version you buy…is dilution into water. People forget that on very very long rides guzzling this stuff back that is too concentrated (or when you dont have enough pure water in between concentrated electrolyte gulps) upsets the osmotic pressure in the kidneys.
I do think you’ll need to add salt to those ones but definitely a good supplement. I have one daily for immune system boost, but use the specialist sport tablets to replace salt from sweating (Sudium) and reduce cramping (Which I think requires potassium amongst other things).
Been using Aldi tropical ones for refills when I’m out and about for convenience. Only side note is watch your urine after, it can be very misleading as the effervescent tabs make it go a wonder shade of yellow. Could be seen as dehydration. Off out in this beautiful weather now, be safe people ����
They would rather have people play wack a mole with their blood sugar all day and then chastise you when your A1c is off the charts!!!
We have Aldi here in the states too. But, I can’t stress enough, B1, B6, and B12… which the cheaper one has… B1, B6, B12 taken daily will double or triple your fitness. It tripled mine.
Wake me up when your ready to get to the the point of the topic…
For long runs or races, I wear a wrist band that has a pocket and store jelly beans to eat every mile after mile 5, and for fluid I drink lucozade, usually following the same pattern. Can’t use the gels because of digestion issues, but jelly beans seem OK, except when they stick to your teeth… I try to gradually eat more carbs the week leading up to the race and have a decent breakfast (4 slices of toast about 2 1/2 hours before a half marathon serves me well). It’s usually after the race that I have trouble with, I try to eat something soon after finishing but I’ve no appetite after the 13 miles so force myself to eat!
Eating is a part of my life instead of dominating my thoughts
Right on, exactly how I feel!
Those tablets look interesting. I get my goodies at Decathlon, especially the powder I always use is Aptonia ISO+ which contains all the stuff that helps when doing long rides, and in hot weather since I sweat quite abit this has helped me tremendously!
Example: 1-water bottle with powder, 1-water bottle without (just water), and 2-3 small pick me up snacks, will do me for a 100k ride.
Now mind you, this is ONLY when I have reached optimum weight, and endurance training!
Any money that goes towards my cycling is well worth it in my opinion.
But then again, one should use what ever works best for them…
Glad to see you are doing great:-)
These are good only if you’re activity last more than an hour. You can also make your own, 700 ml water, 300 ml real fruit juice and pinch of salt. Keep on riding…
Managed to grab myself a bidon thrown away by one of the Lotto Soudal riders on TDF in 2018 and what pro performance enhancing concoction was in it?
Plain old unadulterated water.
Good tip. Thanks for sharing. I keep a tube in the garage for when I am on my turbo. I only use it for hard/longer sessions.
I run 1.5 miles then eat a steak. I’m lazycorrectiontry to run
Hi Leonard, great as always. I would personally stay away from the higher sodium tablets because of blood pressure issues. That is just me as an old guy though.
What about potassium or magnesium? Which is best, potassium chloride or potassium citrate?
Coconut water……. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12056182
Wonder if Aldi in the US carries those, can anyone confirm? I’m a big fan of the Scratch Labs powder, it has a mellow taste and is made from actual fruit for the flavoring. But it is pricey at $1USD/serving.
You were fleeced at Wiggle at that price…..they often have those tabs at at much cheaper price if you don’t mind the flavour…..currently try the same using Wiggles own brand. Pretty much the same contents.
As far as electrolytes go sodium and potassium are the important ones, the zero tabs taste nice, but the sodium and potassium levels in those are way too low to be of any use, they’re just playing it safe with very low levels as there’s a lot of confusion about salt, id just get the Aldi ones for the taste and the vit C, then add some salt substitute (Lo salt) as it contains both sodium and potassium, you’re gonna want about half a teaspoon per 500ml bison.
Yes. The food in my mom’s memory care is dreadful. Guidelines for schools, hospitals, and other facilities need to change.
cream of tartar powder is potassium,so perhaps just add half a teaspoon of that to your biden.
just use squash if you want to flavour your water. add some salt if you are a heavy sweater.
the vitamin tabs aren’t really appropriate for drinking on the bike. research shows vitamin c supplements inhibit cycling training adaptations so could make you slower long term ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4001759/)
Just add Himalayan Pink Salt or Celtic sea salt to your drink
I used similar tablets for years, but now I just carry good ‘ole Gatorade that way I get my sugar (carbs) and my electrolytes at the same time while out riding; it’s been working fine for me. I get the 32oz (946ml) bottles for $1 from Walmart, so the price is right. I may get some more of those tabs and drop them in my Gatorade and get a turbo boost of electrolytes…uhmmm I drink the Gatorade Zero when off the bike for the electrolytes. Those powdered mix carbohydrate/energy drinks messes with my stomach while riding, so I had to cut back on them, but I’ve found that Skratch Lab powdered mix is ok. So, now it’s Gatorade or Skratch.
A lot lighter than using a sports drink, although I have watch my sodium intake due to high blood PSI.
For those in the UK, Home Bargains do a zero calorie electrolyte tablet, also in tubes of 20 has everything the more expensive Zero tab has, think i got my last lot at a pound a tube if you buy in multiples. I’m fond of the cherry flavour.
for the recreational cyclists (like 99% of the audience here are) there is no need for tablets have a water with honey, salt and lemon, or a tea or anything else none of us is professional who is training 40h/week on the bike 😉
Sounds like those ingredients are used to make a bomb. I guess one is more explosive than the other!
Bring Aldi to Japan!!!! (My Mum raves about it but I told her to be wary of overly cheap meat!)
Eight quid is extortionate.. the Aldi ones would be fine with some salt added
I am really struggling with constipation. It has been three weeks since I’ve had a bowel movement. What can I do? Should I be concerned? I am going to try putting salt in my water. I have been dehydrated and excessively thirsty. Thanks.
I have bought these from home bargains for about 65p to a £1.. I too always used to buy from wiggle..not anymore.. however I only use for indoor cycling. ��������
I do use those expensive tablets for my Low Carb eating plan. And get them half price as I buy 8 tubes. But that sounds like a nice bargain. I may try that Yes! cool. Thanks for the video.
I buy a big package of blank powder electolytes, one packages cost $18 and last 6 months
I use the Nuun hydration products myself over here in The States; they’ve been very good, even on days when I just work out and not ride. (I WISH I could find them for around a dollar here, LOL!)
Since I’m a big guy myself, I sweat like a stuck pig and constantly battle with keeping hydrated. Nuun seems to do the trick, but I wouldn’t mind finding a more natural solution, as one of your other posters pointed out here in the comments.
Great content, sir! Very informative as always!
C02 cartridge is the perfect example of this, for the restaurant industry it coat pennies but slap the word velo on it and a bike sticker sells for 10x the price.
Thanks for sharing! I would imagine the Aldi products fits the needs of the vast majority of recreational cyclists and look to have a strong place in the market. The extra potassium and magnesium of the more expensive products may be beneficial, and fractionally more rapidly adsorbed by the body from solution than say a banana (potassium) and oaty flapjack (magnesium)… but that’s splitting hairs for most of us and who doesn’t enjoy ‘proper food’?! A pinch of table salt is an even cheaper alternative with an even narrower electrolyte profile… and some keen athletes will buy individual electrolytes in bulk and concoct their own balance, and even base it on their sweat composition, sweat rate, etc. But the Aldi product is good news for the customer as it’s extra competition for the market driving future improvement and value cheers Leonard!
