Fast&Up Reload Electrolyte Drink (Blueberry)
Published
Fast&Up Reload Blueberry is an effervescent tablet that turns water into a fizzy electrolyte drink. It scores [L]ED5: nutrition is low because there is little protein or fibre to count, ingredients lose points for a missing blueberry, sweetener and flavouring, and risk is high because of the sodium in the tablet. Best kept for sweaty days, not daily sipping.

What to know about Fast&Up Reload Electrolyte Drink
A salty fizz tablet with no blueberry in it
Fast&Up Reload Electrolyte Drink (Blueberry) is a box of 20 effervescent tablets, 4 g each. Maltodextrin leads the list, followed by citric acid, fructose, sodium bicarbonate, potassium chloride and other mineral salts, with vitamin C, vitamin B12 and sucralose added. You drop one tablet into 250 ml of water. It is bought by people who sweat, train or travel and want a quick electrolyte drink.
One tablet gives 12.8 kcal, 0.09 g protein, 0.68 g sugar (0.64 g of it added) and 180 mg sodium. It also has 77 mg potassium, 20 mg magnesium, 12.5 mg calcium, about 123 mg chloride, 37.5 mg vitamin C and 1 mcg vitamin B12. The cost is mostly salt: sodium is 4,500 mg per 100 g of tablet, and the sweetness comes from fructose plus sucralose.
The name and the front say blueberry, but no blueberry is in the ingredient list. The taste comes from nature-identical blueberry and blackcurrant flavours, which is what sets the [L] flag. The five electrolytes on the front are real. CleanPlate scores it [L]ED5.
Does Fast&Up Reload Electrolyte Drink live up to its claims?
The five electrolytes are real and the sugar figure holds per tablet. The blueberry in the name does not hold, since none is listed, and the sodium and energy wording is framed.
- Product nameMisleading
“Flavour blueberry”
No blueberry is listed. The taste comes from nature-identical blueberry and blackcurrant flavours, so the fruit named on the pack is absent.
- On the packBe careful
“Less than 1g sugar”
True per tablet, which has 0.68 g sugar in 250 ml. The tablet itself is 17 g sugar per 100 g, and the sweetness is topped up with sucralose.
- On the packHolds
“5 Electrolytes”
Sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and chloride are all declared: 180, 77, 12.5, 20 and about 123 mg per tablet.
- On the packBe careful
“Right Amount of Sodium”
Each tablet has 180 mg sodium. That suits heavy sweating, but it is a lot for a drink taken without it.
- On the packBe careful
“Hydration & Energy”
Energy is small: 12.8 kcal per tablet, mostly maltodextrin and fructose. The vitamins C and B12 are added, not a source of fuel.
Why Fast&Up Reload Electrolyte Drink scores [L]ED5
Nutrition is an E because there is almost no protein or fibre to count. Ingredients are a D after the missing blueberry, sucralose and flavouring cost points. Risk is a 5, driven by 4,500 mg sodium per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 2.3 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- 6 declared
- Energy
- 321 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 2.25 g per 100 g of tablet and no fibre is declared, with no protein contributor in the list, so nothing earns credit. One tablet has 12.8 kcal and 0.09 g protein.
The vitamins and minerals (vitamin C, vitamin B12, magnesium, calcium, potassium) are present, but they are added as isolated salts and vitamins and do not lift the grade.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

- Flagged
- Maltodextrin
02 Ingredient integrity: why D
Maltodextrin leads the list as the base, with fructose, mineral salts and acids after it. No ingredient percentages are declared.
The blueberry in the name is not in the list, which costs ingredient points through the label-integrity check and sets the [L]. Sucralose costs the most of the additives, and the nature-identical flavours and the spirulina colour cost smaller amounts. Citric acid, malic acid and the carbonates cost nothing.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
Very high risk
- Added sugar
- 16 g
- Sodium
- 4500 mg
03 Load risk: why 5
Sodium is the main driver: 4,500 mg per 100 g of tablet, 180 mg per tablet. Free sugar adds to it at 16 g per 100 g, all from fructose.
Energy is 320.5 kcal per 100 g, and there is no saturated fat or trans fat. The risk grade is worked out on the tablet as sold, not on the diluted drink, so it looks harsher than the 13 kcal in a glass.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
[L] The name or pack claims promise more than the ingredient list delivers. See Claims vs reality.
Red flags
- −Red flag: High added sugar (16g per 100ml)
- −Red flag: High sodium (4500mg per 100ml)
- −Red flag: Contains Maltodextrin
Green flags
Nothing stands out in its favour.
What's in Fast&Up Reload Electrolyte Drink?
Maltodextrin, citric acid and fructose lead, then sodium and potassium salts. Watch the sodium, the sucralose and the flavouring that stands in for blueberry.
The ingredient list, read for you
Maltodextrin is the base, so most of the tablet is a carrier. Citric acid (330), sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate make it fizz, and fructose and sucralose (955) sweeten it. Potassium chloride, sodium chloride, magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate supply the electrolytes. Nature-identical blueberry and blackcurrant flavours give the taste, spirulina extract (phycocyanin) colours it, and vitamin C and vitamin B12 are added. No ingredient percentages are declared.
Ingredients to watch
- Blueberry that is not thereConcern
The name promises blueberry but the list has none. Only nature-identical flavours supply it, which costs ingredient points and sets the [L].
- SodiumConcern
4,500 mg per 100 g of tablet, 180 mg in each. It is the main driver of the risk grade.
- Sucralose (955) and flavouringWorth watching
The sweetener costs the most ingredient points of the additives, and the nature-identical flavours cost a few more.
- FructoseWorth watching
16 g added sugar per 100 g of tablet, 0.64 g per tablet. Small per drink, but it is the added sugar behind the sweetness.
- Electrolytes and vitaminsFine
Potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride, 37.5 mg vitamin C and 1 mcg vitamin B12 per tablet, all declared.
What it doesn’t have
- No ingredient percentages are declared, so the share of each electrolyte salt is not known.
Who should eat Fast&Up Reload Electrolyte Drink?
Rarely for most adults, and children should avoid it. People with heart conditions or in pregnancy should check with their doctor because of the sodium and potassium.
