This is ridiculous.

Encouraging pregnant women to buy wholly unnecessary “supplements” when they can get all the electrolytes they need from normal food and drink feeds into understandable anxieties, and results in women giving their hard earned cash to these charlatans. It’s not a good look, Mumsnet.

If anyone is genuinely dehydrated (e.g. after vomiting or being excessively hot) they would be better off seeking actual qualified medical advice.

I agree - I'm not sure quite how this has got through but will check our processes and fix them. Thanks so much for raising it.
