Review summary

Nuun Sport Electrolyte Tablets is a electrolyte tablet/capsule (4 g carbs/serving; no caffeine; 300 sodium). Effervescent electrolyte tablets (~15 kcal / ~4g carbs / ~300mg sodium per tablet) — designed for easy bottle electrolytes on training runs when you do not need a full carb drink mix. I'd shortlist it for ultra-portable tubes for travel and race bags.

The trade-off is not a primary carbohydrate source — High5 ZERO Electrolyte Tablets is the cleaner compare when that is most of your week. It fits buyers who actually need a electrolyte tablet/capsule (4 g carbs/serving; no caffeine; 300 sodium), not a one-product rotation.
