Nope, horrid stuff and I know someone who became diabetic due to drinking so much of it.
Do what most recommend, water + salt and juice to mask the taste. I've only ever bought a Lucozade Isotonic because I'd ridden my new bike for the first time, went to where I thought I'd never reach and didn't have any water on me. So bought the drink had a mouthful and rode home. Perked me up enough to get me home, but wouldn't rely on it.
Good food before and after should see you right.

Always have done TBHbut I have decided to make my own when I've run out of my current stock of Zero High5 tabs.
I just need a good recipe for it, unless the general consensus goes with @MattE72's water, pinch of salt and juice to taste?

Quite like SIS hydro tabs. Found the energy and isotonic powders too sweet.

Madam, I would say your camel is definitely pregnant.Got some free High-5 zero in a CRC order recently. This apparently is tri-berry.

It tastes as good as it looks !!And certainly doesn't remind me of berries...but something else entirely.

Water for general rides and add High five zero if it is a hot day. For energy I sometimes add a little maltodextrin powder to my high 5 / water to keep energy levels iup on longer rides. It is the same stuff powdered energy drink manufacturers and costs about 1/10th of the price.
