Rehidrat Sport Hydration Powders

Full review on my blog: indianlovesbeauty.blogspot.com

Rehidrat has been used in my household for many years now as my GP always prescribes it for when my someone in my family has a bout of diahorrea. It's always proved to effectively restore fluid to the body together with electrolytes.
I must admit that I hadn't heard of the sport before until the beauty bulletin review project so that's why I decided to go out and give it a try. My kids are very sport and my daughter plays soccer so I also popped a sachet into her soccer bag to rehydrate after practice. After also trying it myself during an intense gym session, I must admit that I didn't feel as parched and light headed as a normally do after a workout.
In this regard it really is effective in doing providing sufficient hydration and restoring electrolytes.
Although it says on the pack to mix one sachet with 250ml water, I prefer to mix 2 sachets in around 300ml of water to provide a better taste, as I chose the naartjie flavor and it was just a bit too subtle for me. It then tasted like a flavored water. An added plus was the slight fizz which made it easier for the kids to drink as they are not exactly water fanatics..
I definitely would repurchase for gym sessions as it eliminates the nausea and light headed Ness I get after a workout.

I was excited when I was selected to try and review Rehidrat or Rehidrat Sport.

Lets start of with that I am no stranger to Rehidrat, I used it when I was breast feeding (blackcurrant) and as a sufferer of IBS I always drink Rehidrat when my stomach was upset, just to help put bqck the nutrients I have lost.

So I decided that I will try Rehidrat sport (Naartjie flavour). I love the packing of Rehidrat Sport, the sachets is easy to open and its fits well into mu bag.

I used it when I felt my mouth is still dry after drinking water, morning after I had a fever from an awful flu that was going around.

Now for those of you that have never used Rehidrat Sport, don’t be shocked when you throw in your sachet and the water stays translucent after the powerder has been dissolved.


I would also recommend you use your Rehidrat Sport with chilled water, the taste is just must more sharper.

I would recommend that anyone has Rehidrat or Rehidrat Sport in there cupboard. Its not also perfect to use when you feel dehydrated but also after a stomach flu or even normal flu to put back the nutrients.

I love this product it is your moneys worth and you should give it a try too…

I give this 5 stars

I have never tried the Rehidrat Sport before as I only knew of the normal Rehidrat. So I thought I would give the Sport one a try. I was a little disappointed as I chose the naartjie flavor & it tasted nothing like naartjie, but the effects still did what they needed too. I am very active even at work I am constantly running around & keep very busy so to eat correctly & get the necessary vitamins, energy & correct water amount in my body can be quite challenging.

So I started using the Rehidrat for my 1st bottle of water (I sit in traffic on my way to work for nearly 2hours) so I get hungry I have my shake & water with me. I start to feel a lot more aware in the morning & not so drained by sitting in traffic. This is a big plus starting the day off in an energetic good mood ??
During the course of the day I have my fruits & lunch, also keeping hydrated with my bottle of water. But towards the 4pm slump I can feel I'm getting fatigue (this is also a side effect of dehydration). I have another shake (this is a standeard protein shake with milk). I know I have gym in 3 hours so I need to make sure I take the rehidrat just before then. Gym time comes around I pour my rehidrat into my water bottle & head to gym. The Rehidrat definitely helped me get through gym work outs a lot easier than before as I was getting the energy & essential electrolytes my body needed.

I found the less water I used the better it tasted, on the box the suggested serving of water is 250mls. I used only around 150mls.

I would recommended this product to atheletes or anyone but would recommended a different flavor to try.

(Unfortunately I am unable to upload pictures as I can't get them to be less than 1mb big)

Up until Beauty Bulletin asked me to review Rehidrat, I’d always only used this solution after a bout of diarrhea or stomach flu. While I’ve been a loyal user for a good 15 years +, I’ve only recently come to understand that Rehidrat can be used at any time when the body is dehydrated.

So, why is it so important to stay hydrated? Well, because our vital organs rely on water to function correctly, maintaining the body’s temperature, removing waste, aiding digestion and regulating blood pressure. We all understand water is essential for good health.

The causes of dehydration are many, but a few lifestyle causes include:
Insufficient fluid intake due to busy schedules
High levels of stress
Beaching, hiking or other outdoor activities undertaken in hot weather.
Strenuous exercise
Excessive sweating.

The signs of dehydration include:
Dry mouth
Loss of concentration
Headache
Dark urine colour
Loss of skin elasticity
Fatigue
Low blood pressure

You can avoid dehydration by drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day, especially when exercising or spending time in the sun. As mentioned above, replenishing your body after a bout of vomiting or diarrhea is essential. Having an appropriate balance of electrolytes in an oral rehydration solution is of the utmost importance.

Rehidrat contains an optimal balance of sugars, salts and minerals that replenish lost fluids and help prevent and treat dehydration and electrolyte depletion. No artificial preservatives, colourants or sweeteners have been added to the formula.

Is should be noted that dehydration can often be cured by just drinking water. However, if the body gets to a place where it’s dehydrated due to losing bodily fluids, then it’s advised to take Rehidrat to help restore the electrolytes lost.

So, when should you drink a Rehidrat?
Aside from when I’ve suffered a bout of diarrhea or gastro, I drink Rehidrat when I’m feeling the signs or dehydration. A great example would be yesterday: I woke up and enjoyed a coffee in bed. About an hour later, my hubby made me a double espresso. When had lunch plans at 1pm, so I skipped breakfast. At around 12, I started getting a headache and realized I hadn’t drunk any water. When I got to the restaurant, I drank a glass of water, but still felt thirsty. I then emptied a sachet of Rehidrat into some water and drank that. About half an hour later my headache was gone.

I also enjoy a Rehidrat Sport after my HIIT (High Intensity Interval training) classes, as I find I’m really thirsty and quite shaky.

Rehidrat is available in blackcurrant, orange and vanilla flavours. Rehidrat Sport is available in Lemon & Lime and naartjie flavours and both cost R11.95 a sachet.
You can purchase Rehidrat and Rehidrat Sport from pharmacies, Clicks and Dis-chem stores nationwide.
