Salvital The Revitaliser
8 reviews
What have they done to this product now? Is total garbage and going in the bin. It USED to be very fizzy, all disolve, and it would taste like lemon. They have obviously done a cost cutting recipe change (along with rocketing up the price). Doesn't even fizz now, doesn't all dissolve, and doesn't taste like lemon in the slightest of hints (tastes… Read more
like salt or ground up chalk or something equally as disgusting. Makes my belly feel worse after drinking. Hate companies doing this kind of thing.. oh well, they can sod off. This is going in the bin (wasted ten bucks, GREAT). Never buying again. I used to recommend this to people before, but never again. Don't want my advice reputation ruined because you want to skimp out to maximise profits. Hope your company goes broke seeing as you've decided to take a scummy business model on now.....
When I was young my dad used to have salvital, it was a bubbly refreshing delicious drink for an upset tummy. Now? I'm horrified! Bought it for the first time in decades and it is revolting. Tastes like salty water. Horrible! Very disappointing and a waste of my money! Show details
Follow-up · The can is still on the bench, l won't be able to get a refund but I'm still taking it back as it shouldn't be sold. No it does NOT fizz like it used to. It has no refreshing lemon taste like it used to. Its undrinkable. It should not be allowed to be sold. There's nothing vital about it.
I cannot live without Salvital – This amazing drink can be used for everything from dehydration to diarrhoea to getting a refreshing healthy beverage on a hot day to quench your thirst. Full of electrolytes that the body needs it comes with a beautiful lemon flavour that makes it even more refreshing. it cures my dry mouth instantly I drink this every day and cannot live without it!

Salvital - not what it used to be – I've used Salvital since I was a kid. It was what you used for after sports when sweating a lot, or a tummy upset or indigestion etc.. since they started putting it into a cardboard container, it really sucks. Doesn't last at all. Once you've opened it..... let's just say if you don't use it in a week, you've wasted your money. Bring back the… Read more
proper tin or come up with something else because you've ruined what was perfect into something that is way too expensive and doesn't last long enough to finish the 'cardboard cylinder' it comes in. And makes no difference where or how I store it either. Do better Salvital makers, because it's too expensive to buy and waste. So I don't buy it anymore. Throw away too much from having moisture get to it.
Not like it used to be – When I was a kid, 50 years ago Salvital was what we had because we never bought soft drinks. I remember it being so fizzy I had to close my eyes as the bubbles went into your nose and eyes, it was amazing. Now, yuck. Clearly they have changed the recipe. Threw it in the bin
Refreshing – I enjoy it after savoury food. It is apparently high in sugar, but it is natural sweetener not artificial. I only recently found this product and am very happy that I did. This is healthier than a can of soft drink or glass of orange juice etc. Show details
Godsend – I can't stand hydralyte and found myself really enjoying this. It is zesty and very refreshing when you are feeling unwell. Yes, the sugar content is not fantastic but it more or less keeps me going when I can't stomach any food due to gastro or a flu. Highly recommend and will definitely keep purchasing. Show details
Very refreshing but watch the sugar content – Salvital is quite a refreshing drink and I like it but its two thirds sugar , the rest is sodium bicarbonate and a little magnesium sulphate and tartaric acid plus some lemon flavor. The tartaric acid reacts with the bicarb to generate the fizz and the lemon flavor makes the fizz taste refreshing ( like lemonade) but Salvital is slightly less than… Read more
eating straight sugar so for those of us watching sugar intake, go easy. A glass of Salvital (2 teaspoons) will have about 6 gms sugar compared to 200 ml of lemonade which has about 20 gms sugar (=4 teaspoons).
