· 20 sachetsWhy pharmacists picked this
A reasonable everyday hydration habit rather than a treatment for dehydration, since the electrolyte doses here are modest. The single sachets are easy to throw in a bag and there's nothing to measure, though they cost more per serving than the tub. The flavour helps if pregnancy has left you off plain water.

Pros
- No sugar or artificial sweeteners (sweetened with stevia leaf)
- Pre-portioned sachets, easy to travel with and don't need to measure
- 1 g prebiotic fibre per serving (resistant maltodextrin, branded Fibersol)
- More than a full day's vitamin C, 122% of the daily value
- Flavour is usually well tolerated throughout pregnancy
Cons
- Individual sachets cost more than twice as much per serving as the bulk tub
- Single-use packaging creates more waste
- Sweetened with stevia, which some people notice an aftertaste from
The minerals help maintain your body's normal water and electrolyte balance, with magnesium and potassium also supporting normal muscle and nerve function. The vegetable fibre acts as a prebiotic, feeding the friendly bacteria in your gut, and one sachet gives you more than a day's vitamin C.
