‘Only one factor helped me survive the heatwave with the Met Office predicting one other’
The Brits have been subjected to a brutal summer, with yet another heatwave on the way – but there’s one solution I’ve found to keeping myself hydrated even on the driest off days

With news from the Met Office predicting our sixth heatwave of the summer, I am glad to have found the one thing that kept me going through the previous five.
Picture this: air cons sold out, Currys’ shelves empty where fans should have been and no ice lollies left in Tesco’s freezer. It’s a dire situation faced by Brits for weeks on end, but there was one positive from the relentless heat: my discovery of electrolytes. Previously, I had thought them something of a fad, but in an attempt to avoid completely dehydration, I decided to give them a go.
Not even the UK’s very warm summer could have put my hydration levels at risk as I found the perfect solution: VE Hydrotine.
VE Hydrotine helped me through the heat
One thing that’s even better, the daily sachet means I no longer have to buy, measure, and mix separate creatine and electrolyte powders every single morning. They are already combined.
Most creatine powders settle at the bottom of your glass like sand. But Hydrotine dissolves quickly in 500ml of cold water with just a few shakes.
I was a particular fan of the hybrid formula. Each single-serve sachet packs 3g of Creatine Monohydrate alongside Pink Himalayan Salt, Potassium, Magnesium, Vitamin C, and B-vitamins (B3 & B12).
Creatine is widely researched for enhancing muscle strength, power output, and cognitive function, while electrolytes manage fluid balance and prevent cramping.
Combining the two in a caffeine-free, vegan, and stevia-sweetened formula makes it easy to stay consistent without suffering from energy crashes or even late-night jitters.
Deciding flavours can be difficult – but the Taster Pack bundle provides two taster tubes containing 24 sticks total, divided across three distinct flavours.
There are plenty of fun refreshing flavours to choose from
They include Orange & Mango, Raspberry Lemonade: and my personal favourite Pineapple Passion which is found particularly refreshing in the heat.
At around £1.04 per serving, you are paying a slight premium for convenience compared to purchasing bulk bags of uninviting and unappetising creatine powder and salt.
However, for anyone who wants single-serve portability for busy days, the added convenience fully justifies the price.
My advice stands – get your hands on a few before the next heatwave to ensure you’re absorbing enough liquid.
