Hydration & Creatine: The Honest Buyer's Guide

Everything you need to choose the right Siply product, with straight answers and no fluff. Zero sugar, five flavours, and £1 from every order goes to mental health charity If U Care Share. Drink With Intention.

Part 1: Electrolytes, made simple

Who Siply electrolytes are for

Anyone who sweats, sits in the heat, trains, travels, or just finds plain water gets boring. That includes gym-goers and runners, but also office workers, parents, people on their feet all day, and anyone who likes to start the morning with a glass of something. You do not need to be an athlete.

The problem they solve

When you sweat you lose more than water. You lose electrolytes too, mainly sodium, along with potassium and magnesium, and plain water does not contain them. Most sugar-free options only include a token amount of sodium. Siply puts in 1000mg per sachet, a meaningful amount of the mineral you lose most, with zero sugar.

What is in every sachet

Each 6g Siply sachet contains 1000mg sodium, 200mg potassium and 60mg magnesium, with zero sugar and only 10 calories, sweetened with stevia leaf extract. Magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance and normal muscle function. It is vegan, and comes in five flavours: Watermelon, Raspberry, Lemon & Lime, Pineapple and Mixed Fruits. One sachet mixes clean into a glass or bottle of water.

How Siply compares to the alternatives

Many sports and hydration drinks contain 20g or more of sugar per serving, which is the opposite of what most people want day to day. Big electrolyte tubs solve the sugar problem but lock you into one giant flavour, so a large tub becomes a gamble if you do not love it. Siply sits in the gap: a proper dose of sodium, zero sugar, and single sachets so you can find your flavour before you commit. If you are new, the sample box gives you one of all five for less than a meal deal.

The trade-offs worth knowing

Siply is a high-sodium electrolyte mix, which is exactly what you want around exercise, heat and heavy sweating. If you have been advised to limit sodium for a medical reason, check with your doctor first. It is lightly sweetened with stevia rather than sugar, so the flavours are clean and crisp rather than syrupy.

The proof

Siply has over 70 customer reviews, 95% of them five star, and the packs are stocked in real gyms including Anytime Fitness. The most repeated feedback: clean mixing with no grit, genuinely refreshing without being sweet, and easy to drink through a full bottle.

Electrolytes: frequently asked questions

Are sugar-free electrolyte drinks actually effective?

Yes, for everyday use. The electrolytes are the minerals: sodium, potassium and magnesium. Sugar is mainly useful as fuel during very long endurance efforts, not for day-to-day hydration. Siply delivers 1000mg sodium, 200mg potassium and 60mg magnesium per sachet with zero sugar.

How much sodium should an electrolyte drink have?

It depends how much you sweat, and sweat rates vary a lot between people. Sodium is the mineral you lose most, yet many hydration drinks contain only a few hundred milligrams. Siply provides 1000mg per sachet, a meaningful amount rather than a token one.

Can I drink Siply electrolytes every day?

Yes. Many people use one sachet daily, on hot days, around workouts, or when travelling. If you sweat heavily you may use more than one. If you have a medical reason to watch your sodium intake, check with your doctor.

Are Siply electrolytes vegan and keto-friendly?

Yes. They are vegan, zero sugar and only 10 calories per sachet, which suits keto, low-sugar and low-calorie routines.

Do electrolytes help with a hangover?

Siply is not a hangover cure, and no drink is. Alcohol makes you pass more fluid, so plenty of people reach for water and an electrolyte drink the morning after. If that is you, Siply gives you sodium, potassium and magnesium without the sugar of most sports drinks.

Are they good for the gym, running and hot weather?

Yes, those are the core use cases. Long training sessions, hot days and endurance efforts are when you sweat the most, so that is when most people reach for electrolytes.

How do I use a Siply sachet?

Tear open one sachet, stir or shake it into 500 to 1000ml of cold water, and drink. No blender, no mess.

Which Siply flavour should I choose?

All five are zero sugar and crisp rather than sweet. Watermelon and Pineapple lean refreshing and summery, Raspberry and Lemon & Lime lean sharp and tart, and Mixed Fruits is the crowd-pleaser. If you are unsure, the sample box lets you try all five before buying a full pack.

Part 2: Creatine, without the confusion

Who Siply creatine is for

Far more people than the gym-bro stereotype suggests. Creatine is taken by people of all ages who train, including women and older adults, and by anyone who wants a clean, single-ingredient daily supplement. Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise.* For adults over 55, daily creatine can enhance the effect of resistance training on muscle strength.**

The problem it solves

Creatine is one of the most studied sports supplements there is, yet lots of people avoid it because of myths and complicated advice. Siply strips it back: 5g of pure creatine monohydrate per sachet, no loading phase, no scoop, no fillers or flavours. One sachet into any drink, once a day.

What is in it

100% creatine monohydrate. 5g per sachet, 30 servings per bag, zero sugar, zero sweeteners, no artificial ingredients, and 0 calories. Suitable for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free diets.

The trade-offs worth knowing

Creatine works through consistency, not a quick hit. It tops up the creatine stored in your muscles over weeks of daily use rather than overnight. Some people hold a small amount of extra water in the muscle early on, which is normal and not fat gain. It is unflavoured by design so it mixes into whatever you already drink.

The research

Creatine monohydrate has decades of research behind it, mostly on high intensity training, and scientists are also studying other areas such as cognition. Siply uses creatine monohydrate, the same form used in most of that research. The benefits we can claim for Siply in the UK are the two above; everything else in this guide is general information about creatine, not a claim about our product.

Creatine: frequently asked questions

Is creatine only for bodybuilders?

No. That is the biggest myth about creatine. Studies have included women, older adults, runners and everyday gym-goers, and plenty of people in all of those groups take it. It is not a bulking supplement reserved for lifters.

Will creatine make women bulky?

No. Creatine does not cause the kind of size gain people picture. Any early change is usually a small amount of water held in the muscle, not fat or bulk.

Do I need a loading phase?

No. The loading phase is optional and often skipped. Siply is built around a simple daily sachet with no loading required. Consistency is what matters.

When should I take creatine?

Timing is flexible. Before or after training, with your morning routine, or alongside your Siply electrolytes all work. The key is taking it every day.

Can I mix creatine with electrolytes, coffee or a smoothie?

Yes. Siply creatine is unflavoured and mixes into water, coffee, smoothies or your Siply electrolytes without changing the taste much.

Is creatine safe to take every day, long term?

Creatine monohydrate is one of the most researched supplements available and is widely considered safe for healthy adults at the doses used in research. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are under 18, check with your doctor first.

Does creatine help with focus and memory?

It is an active area of research. Some studies have looked at creatine and mental performance, particularly in people who are sleep-deprived, but this is not an authorised health claim in the UK and we do not make it for Siply. If it is the main reason you are interested, look at the research yourself and speak to a health professional.

How much creatine should I take per day?

Research on creatine commonly uses 3 to 5g a day. The authorised benefit above is obtained with 3g daily, and one Siply sachet gives you 5g.

Is Siply creatine flavoured and vegan?

It is unflavoured pure creatine monohydrate, and it is suitable for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free and nut-free diets, with zero sugar and no artificial ingredients.

Every sip supports mental health

Siply exists to do more than hydrate. £1 from every single order goes to If U Care Share, a charity supporting people through their hardest days and working to prevent suicide. It is a reason to feel good about what is in your glass. Drink With Intention.

*The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3g of creatine. **The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3g of creatine in conjunction with resistance training, which allows an increase in the workload over time. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
