Kids Nutrition and Electrolytes for Active Australian Families
Water should still be your child’s main everyday drink. An age-appropriate electrolyte powder can be considered for selected active days when it is used exactly as directed and suits your child’s individual needs.
Shop our sugar-free electrolytes for kids, including Australian-made ReVitalise formulas for sport, travel and outdoor family activities.

| Product | Best Match |

Parent and grandparent tip: for a child, begin with the product specifically labelled ReVitalise Kids. Ask a GP, pharmacist or Accredited Practising Dietitian if your child has a medical condition, takes medication or has special dietary or hydration needs.
Do Kids Need Electrolyte Drinks?
Most children can meet their day-to-day hydration needs with water and a balanced diet. Healthdirect recommends water as the best drink for children and advises offering extra water during exercise and hot weather.
An electrolyte drink is not required for every school day, short ride or playground visit. Parents may consider an age-appropriate product for longer or sweatier activities, hot outdoor days or when a child is reluctant to drink enough plain water.
Read the independent Healthdirect hydration guidance for children before deciding what belongs in your child’s regular routine.
Water or Electrolytes: What Is Best for Kids?
Choose water for everyday hydration
- School, meals and ordinary daily activities.
- Short, easy bike rides and casual outdoor play.
- Before, during and after most physical activity.
- Any time your child simply feels thirsty.
Consider an age-appropriate electrolyte mix selectively
- Longer sport sessions or family bike rides.
- Hot or humid days with noticeable sweating.
- Tournaments, camps or repeated activity sessions.
- When advised by an appropriate health professional.
Electrolyte powder should complement water, regular meals and snacks. It should not replace them.
What to Look for in Kids Electrolyte Powder
1. Clear age guidance
Choose a product formulated and labelled for children. ReVitalise identifies its Kids formula as suitable for ages 4+, but parents should always follow the current tub label.
2. A simple mixing instruction
A measured scoop and clear water range make consistent preparation easier. Do not make the drink stronger than directed.
3. Sugar and caffeine information
The ReVitalise Kids formula is listed as zero sugar and caffeine free. Check the nutrition panel and ingredient list every time you purchase, as formulations can change.
4. Ingredients and dietary suitability
Review flavour-specific ingredients, colours, sweeteners and allergen statements. The current ReVitalise Kids product is described as vegan and gluten free, but the label on the tub is the final reference.
5. The amount of sodium
More sodium is not automatically better. Sodium needs vary with body size, diet, health, activity, weather and sweat loss, so a high-sodium adult formula should not be treated like an everyday children’s drink.
How to Mix ReVitalise Kids Electrolytes
- Add one level scoop to a clean drink bottle.
- Add 500–750ml of water, according to the current product directions and your child’s taste preference.
- Close the bottle securely and shake until the powder has dissolved.
- Keep the prepared drink cool and follow any storage directions on the label.
- Wash the bottle after use and keep the scoop completely dry.
Do not add extra scoops to make the flavour stronger. The 90-serve Balanced formula uses the same listed water range, while Sodium+ is mixed with 750ml–1L and has a much higher sodium content.
Hydration Before, During and After Kids Sport
Before activity
Offer water before your child becomes thirsty. Pack a filled, clearly labelled bottle for school sport, bike rides, scooter sessions and weekend games.
During activity
Build drink breaks into the session, especially in warm or humid weather. Younger children often need an adult reminder when they are busy playing.
After activity
Encourage another drink and offer a normal meal or snack. Food supplies energy and nutrients that a zero-sugar electrolyte mix does not provide.
Signs Your Child May Need a Drink Break
Stop the activity, move to a cooler place and offer water if your child shows early signs of dehydration.
- Thirst or a dry mouth.
- Dark yellow urine or fewer toilet visits.
- Headache, dizziness or unusual tiredness.
- Nausea, irritability or reduced concentration.
Seek medical advice if symptoms do not improve or you are concerned. Call 000 for severe symptoms such as confusion, fainting, a seizure or inability to drink.
Electrolyte Drinks Are Not Oral Rehydration Solutions
A sports or everyday electrolyte drink is not a treatment for vomiting, diarrhoea, fever or clinically significant dehydration. Oral rehydration solutions use a specific balance of salts and glucose for illness-related fluid loss.
If your child is unwell, follow advice from a doctor or pharmacist. Healthdirect advises using an appropriate oral rehydration solution for children with frequent vomiting or diarrhoea rather than relying on a sports drink.
Kids Electrolyte Drink FAQs
Are ReVitalise Kids electrolytes sugar free?
Yes. The current ReVitalise Kids product page lists zero sugar and natural stevia as the sweetener. Always confirm the latest nutrition panel for your chosen flavour.
Do kids electrolytes contain caffeine?
The current ReVitalise Kids formula is caffeine free. This is different from energy drinks, which are not suitable hydration choices for children.
What flavours are available?
The current 30-serve Kids range includes Adventure Apple, Giggly Grape, Tropical Twist and Fruity Fiesta. Availability can change, so check the product options shown above this guide.
How many servings are in a tub?
The kids tub contains approximately 30 servings when prepared with one scoop per serve. The Balanced family-size tub contains approximately 90 servings.
Can children use the Sodium+ formula?
Sodium+ contains 1000mg sodium per serving and is positioned for adults and older active users with higher sodium needs. It should not be the default kids product; obtain professional advice before considering a high-sodium formula for a child.
How should the powder be stored?
Close the tub securely, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep the scoop dry. Keep the product out of reach of very young children and check the best-before date.
