Abstract
A chewable electrolyte tablet. The chewable electrolyte tablet includes an agent to prevent stomach irritation, a flavoring agent, a sweetening agent, or a combination thereof to enable the tablet to be palatable and, therefore, ingested through simple mastication and without the need for water, thereby permitting the amount of water to be regulated. The tablet may be used to deliver electrolytes, amino acids and/or vitamins. Select embodiments of the tablet contain substantially no carbohydrates, thereby reducing the caloric content of the tablet. In other embodiments, the tablet provides a sustained release of nutrients over time.
