As the Christmas party season approaches, it’s time to take hydration more seriously.You might have considered making electrolytes part of your daily routine, but if you want a massive boost from a product that contains six times more electrolytes than other leading brands, you need to know about Virtue Electrolytes.Virtue Electrolytes can improve mental as well as physical performanceVirtue Electrolytes 16 Sachet Pack, £19.90BUY NOWLaunched in July 2025, Virtue Electrolyte‘s unique formulation has already got the backing of England international footballers Eberechi Eze and Chris Smalling, who have become investors.Each sachet delivers 2,540 mg of all six essential electrolytes – sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride and phosphorus, plus Vitamin C for immune and antioxidant support.Having tried and tested several different electrolyte brands alongside the talkSPORT shopping team for our guide to the best electrolytes, I know that other electrolyte brands focus on sodium and potassium and don’t always include the rest.However, a depletion in any one of the six key electrolytes can lead to fatigue, dizziness and headaches, so it makes sense to include them all in an electrolyte sachet.This ensures your body has all it needs to operate at its best, whether that’s partying or playing sport.Virtue Electrolytes Quickfire Q&A How much is it? £19.90 for a 16-sachet pack. Or you could get a Starter Pack with a reusable Virtue Ocean Bottle and 48 sachets for £70.Who is it best for? Runners, lifters and heavy sweaters who need fast, zero-calorie, vegan-friendly rehydration; also handy for anyone wanting a clean, convenient electrolyte boost after training or a late night.What we loved? Noticeably quicker post-workout recovery and reduced stiffness, likely from the balanced six-electrolyte blend and magnesium. Tangy alertness from the first sip, with mango and passionfruit genuinely delicious.What we didn’t? Strawberry lemonade can be an assault on the tastebuds, and lemon and lime’s citrus is a touch indistinct. They contain a lot of sodium, which is not needed if you’re not dehydrated, although it would be hepful to have a packet for party emergencies if you’re not active in sport.RecipeVirtue ElectrolytesArsenal footballer Eze is a proud investor of Virtue Electrolytes[/caption]Virtue Electrolytes 16 Sachet Pack, £19.90BUY NOWI had high hopes for Virtue Electrolytes after reading the packaging, as these small sachets are packed with goodness.Each contains Sodium: 725mgPotassium: 300mgChloride: 1,345mgCalcium: 70mgMagnesium: 50mgPhosphorus: 50mgVitamin C: 80mg (100% NRV)All this comes with zero-calories, zero caffeine and they’re vegan-friendly.To test how this combination of ingredients made me feel, I used them for two weeks, primarily to rehydrate after exercise.They’d probably work in a similar way to rehydrate the body after a night drinking alcohol, but I’m saving my major blowouts for December.I found that from the first sip, I felt more mentally alert as all three flavours are quite tangy.By the time I’d finished the whole drink mix, my body felt calmer and more energised.When I return from a run, I feel mentally happier but physically stressed and stiff.But I lost the stressed feeling unexpectedly quickly following a serving of Virtue Electrolytes.When I’ve had other electrolyte brands, I haven’t started to lose the aches until after my shower.I’m not sure whether it was the magnesium that’s included in Virtue Electrolytes or the combination of six electrolytes, but I was impressed.Arsenal star Eze agrees with me, as he’s said: “Its clean energy aligns with my lifestyle on and off the pitch.“I am excited to be part of a brand that is all about a natural, healthier way to energise.”TasteZoe tested Virtue Electrolytes over two weeksVirtue Electrolytes 16 Sachet Pack, £19.90BUY NOWVirtue Electrolytes come in three flavours – lemon and lime, strawberry lemonade and mango passionfruit – and I tested all three of them over the course of two weeks.As I love long-distance running and weight-lifting and I am quite a heavy sweater, I need to ensure that I replace electrolytes but I can also be fussy: I find it hard to stomach drinks that I don’t find tasty.I found lemon and lime very smooth and easy to drink, offering a slightly undistinguishable but not unpleasant, citrus taste.Mango and passionfruit was my personal favourite, as it felt like I was drinking a tropical juice – all reminders of somewhere hot and tropical are very welcome at this time of year.Most importantly, I can imagine being able to stomach it the morning after a heavy night without feeling that I was drinking a specific “health drink”.Strawberry and lemonade is full of flavour and would appeal to anyone who likes fizzy drinks or slushies, but you do need to prepare yourself for an assault on the tastebuds.Virtue Electrolytes: VerdictVirtue Electrolytes exceeded expectations, and each zero-calorie, vegan sachet packs a serious rehydration punch.Post-run stiffness faded notably faster than with other brands, perhaps thanks to the magnesium or the balanced six-electrolyte blend.At £12 for 12 sachets, this is convenient, tasty and effective hydration and I can see why athletes like Eze have invested in the brandVirtue Electrolytes 16 Sachet Pack, £19.90 – buy hereFor more sports, health and fitness content and buying guides, check out our dedicated talkSPORT shopping hub.
