MyProtein Electrolyte Plus Tablets Review — Is It Worth It?

MyProtein electrolytes Plus Tablets are the most convenient format for electrolyte supplementation — a single tablet that fizzes in water to produce a hydration drink. The trade-off is lower electrolyte doses than powder-based alternatives, but the convenience factor is real.

What Is It?

Electrolyte Plus is a tablet-form electrolyte supplement — each tablet dissolves in water to produce a lightly flavoured electrolyte drink. It's designed for the gym bag, holiday, or travel context where carrying powder is inconvenient. The effervescent format adds a novelty factor and good palatability.

Ingredients & Nutrition

Per 1-tablet serving: 500mg sodium, 70mg potassium, 10mg magnesium, 10mg calcium, plus vitamin C (60mg) and B vitamins (B6, B12). At 5 calories per tablet.

The sodium at 500mg is a decent dose. However, the magnesium and calcium at 10mg each are token inclusions — far below the amounts needed for meaningful electrolyte replacement from these minerals. The addition of vitamin C and B vitamins is a practical bonus that differentiates this from simple salt supplements, but the mineral matrix is weaker than Bulk's powder.

Taste & Mixability

Drop one tablet into 400–500ml of water, wait 30 seconds for fizzing to complete, drink. Available in Orange, Lemon, and Mixed Berry — all are pleasant and refreshing, similar in taste to Berocca (which this closely resembles in format). The fizzing makes the experience more interesting than powder-based alternatives.

Effectiveness

Adequate for moderate training sessions and general hydration support, but the low magnesium and calcium doses mean it's primarily a sodium and B vitamin supplement rather than a comprehensive electrolyte product. Heavy sweaters or endurance athletes will find it insufficient for full electrolyte replacement.

The tablet format is the genuine selling point — convenience matters for consistency, and a supplement you actually use daily beats a theoretically superior powder left in the cupboard.

Value for Money

At £7.99 for 60 tablets (60 servings), you're paying approximately £0.13 per serving. Good value, though the per-gram electrolyte yield is lower than powder alternatives. For the convenience premium, the pricing is reasonable.

Verdict

Electrolyte Plus Tablets are the right choice for convenience-first electrolyte supplementation. If you train regularly and struggle to remember to take supplements, having a tube of these in your gym bag means you'll actually use them. The formula is adequate for general hydration support. For serious electrolyte needs during heavy training, step up to Bulk Electrolyte Powder for better value and stronger mineral doses.
