ZERO Caffeine Hit is a refreshing sugar free electrolyte caffeine drink with zero calories that makes it simple and easy to stay hydrated. When you sweat, you lose vital minerals so it's important that they are replenished. With key electrolytes, sodium and magnesium, ZERO Caffeine Hit gives you what water can't. So while it's fine to use just High 5 Zero alone when training, if you're racing or riding long sportives then you'll usually need to take on carbohydrate as well (via energy gels, bars or normal food), and you'll also need to keep up the liquid intake. The right food and drink remain important for avoiding cramp; using electrolyte replacement doesn't preclude this. If you look closely at the High 5 advertising, you will see the 'burn 41% more fat by drinking Zero' claim is qualified by another statement in smaller type: 'instead of a normal sports drink'. Ah yes. That would be the carbohydrate-loaded normal sports drink. It's simply not comparing like with like.

You may also become dehydrated if you do not replace the water and electrolytes lost through sweat. Energy Drink not only keeps you energised, it also provides you with fluids and contains key electrolytes to keep you hydrated. Each refreshing bottle of Energy Drink contains 240mg sodium, 50mg potassium and 84mg chloride. The High 5 advertising says that that test subjects using Zero 'burn 41% more fat', implying that using this product can help you lose weight. While this is absolutely true, it's only because Zero contains virtually no carbohydrate. And if your body has no carb to use as an energy source, then it'll burn fat.ZERO is designed to be taken BEFORE, DURING and AFTER exercise or throughout the day. The easy-break tabs mean that you can choose your ideal drink strength. Energy Gel Electrolyte has a consistency more like a sports drink so you don't need to drink extra water with it. However, when exercising it’s important to stay hydrated so we recommend using Energy Gel Electrolyte alongside a drink like ZERO, Isotonic Hydrationor Energy Drink. The benefit of 2:1 Fructose is that the maximum rate at which your body can absorb carbohydrate is increased from 60g per hour to 90g per hour. That means you can consume 50% more carbohydrate energy per hour. And ultimately, a faster rate of carbohydrate absorption means more carbohydrate for your working muscles, which means you can keep going for longer. Energy gels replenish your depleted carbohydrate stores during your workout and Energy Gel is an easily digestible scientifically formulated multi-carbohydrate energy gel to keep you energised during exercise.

The hydration drink contains Vitamin C which contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the protection of cells from oxidative stress, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Magnesium contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue, electrolyte balance and normal protein synthesis. ZERO contains Vitamin C and 5 electrolytes, including sodium, magnesium and potassium. Vitamin C in ZERO supports a healthy immune system, protects the cells from oxidative stress and contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Magnesium in ZERO contributes to electrolyte balance, reduces tiredness and fatigue, whilst supporting muscle protein synthesis. Don't get me wrong. As a source of electrolytes for avoiding cramp, High 5 Zero is brilliant. But you shouldn't be mistaken into thinking it's some kind of magic potion for shedding excess kilos.

The tablets contain vitamin C, which is a useful inclusion for several reasons. It’s known to improve immunity and plays an important role as an antioxidant, but it’s not necessary for hydration. However, it’s important to note endurance athletes should avoid any supplements containing antioxidants during the adaptation phase of their training.
