A sugar-free effervescent formula combining fast hydration, Vitamin C and everyday wellness on the go.
Singapore, 9 April 2026 – In a world where days move quickly and schedules rarely slow down, staying hydrated goes beyond simply drinking more water. It is about supporting the body in ways that fit seamlessly into a busy life – whether during long hours at work, time spent commuting, or moments of movement throughout the day.
The new 100PLUS Effervescent Tablet introduces a convenient way to stay hydrated while supporting immune health. Formulated with five electrolytes and Vitamin C in a sugar-free tablet, it delivers 100PLUS’ trusted hydration expertise in a portable format that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere. Simply drop a tablet into a glass of water and let it dissolve into a light, refreshing hydration drink.
Fast and Effective Hydration That Works
Hydration plays a vital role in supporting overall body function, from maintaining energy levels to supporting physical and mental performance. Dehydration can affect focus, stamina and overall well-being, particularly during long hours of work, commuting and daily activities. As an isotonic formulation, 100PLUS helps the body hydrate more effectively and stay hydrated longer than water.

The 100PLUS Effervescent Tablet is formulated with five electrolytes – Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium and Chloride – to help replenish fluids efficiently. Each serving delivers hydration support equivalent to a can of 100PLUS, without added sugar. The effervescent format dissolves quickly in water, allowing the body to absorb fluids efficiently while offering a clean, refreshing taste.
Whether navigating extended hours in air-conditioned and dry indoor environments, spending time outdoors in tropical heat and humidity, or commuting, exercising and recovering after a long day, the 100PLUS Effervescent Tablet provides a practical and fuss-free hydration solution for everyday moments.
Fast, Convenient Hydration with Added Immunity Support
Beyond hydration, each tablet is fortified with Vitamin C to support a healthy immune system function. By combining hydration and immune support into one convenient serving, the 100PLUS Effervescent Tablet offers a simple way to support daily balance – especially when consistency can make a difference.
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient known for its role in antioxidant protection and overall wellness. Incorporating it into a daily hydration routine provides a simple way to support the body during periods of physical exertion, travel, or demanding schedules.
Suitable for adults and teens, the recommended intake is one to two tablets per day, or as advised by a healthcare professional. The portable tablet format also makes it a convenient hydration solution when travelling, particularly during flights, where carrying water may not always be possible and staying properly hydrated can be challenging.
Designed for Modern and Fast-paced Lifestyles
Today’s routines often span multiple spaces – from home to office, from gym to airport lounge. The 100PLUS Effervescent Tablet is designed for convenience, offering hydration and immune support in a compact tablet format that fits easily into busy schedules.
The sugar-free formulation provides a lighter alternative for those mindful of their daily sugar intake, while still delivering effective hydration support.
Whether enjoyed at the start of the day, between meetings, after physical activity, or during travel, the 100PLUS Effervescent Tablet complements a range of everyday moments.
The 100PLUS Effervescent Tablet is sugar-free and halal-certified. Each tube contains 15 effervescent tablets and is available at a recommended retail price of S$14.05 at major supermarkets across Singapore.

serve as thoughtfully designed spaces for visitors to unwind in and discover a series of
curated arts experiences.
This edition also introduces a new single-day ticketing format that offers visitors a more
leisurely and enjoyable time, no matter which day they visit.
What’s New at The Spring Summer Edition
The Art & Chess Circle in 2A introduces a more design-led and community-driven
dimension to Boutiques. Featuring local art platform Gofy and community street chess group Aliwal Chess Club, this stylish lounge is conceived as a relaxed, laidback space that brings together a series of workshops, artist talks, and bite-sized creative activities.
Designed to be approachable and open to all, its special three-day programme invites
visitors to engage directly with artists and take part in hands-on experiences that include
Paper Collage Lampshade classes and Stamp & Colour activities. There will even be live
portrait sessions at selected times, where visitors can have their portraits drawn in real time.
Meanwhile, the Music Lounge in 3A brings back its signature music-driven concept with a
more elevated, refined atmosphere. In collaboration with local vinyl store Avant Culture
Club, the lounge features a curated vinyl experience complete with turntables, headphones, and a library of records for visitors to delve into at their own pace.
Another highlight of the space is a special collaboration with ART/ST Records, Singapore’s
first lathe-cut record studio: There, they can create their own personalised vinyl, recording a special message before having it cut into a one-of-a-kind keepsake. Visitors are encouraged to pick up delectable tipples and bites from nearby vendors like Whet Your Whistle and The Cheese Club before kicking back at the lounge with a good record.
A new partnership with Air New Zealand sees the introduction of a special lounge in 2B,
where visitors can try the viral Skycouch in person and participate in a lucky draw for a pair of return tickets to New Zealand, while The Artground’s dedicated kids’ drop-off zone
returns to Room 3D. Featuring an exciting lineup of hands-on workshops and installations
tailored for the young ones, it provides a fun and enriching environment where little ones can explore their creativity while parents enjoy Boutiques at their own pace.
The Garage Café also returns with a refreshed concept, with part of the space evolving into a lively bar and dining hub designed for guests to unwind and enjoy a drink in a relaxed, breezy setting.
Here, they can enjoy oysters served sous-vide chilled or grilled with a variety of toppings
from Slurp Your Oysters, complimented by a selection of curated drinks from Glug Glug —
which will offer a new vintage of the Glug Glug Vinho Verde along with Turkey’s first Pet Nat — and The 1925 Brewing Co, which will bring with it a range of craft beers like Mango IPA and Lychee Lager.
Elsewhere in the Garage Café, diners can find familiar favourites and new additions: Think
Chimichanga’s seared camarones, tacos, and Doritos loaded nachos, Tipo’s signature
handmade pasta and crispy pasta chips, or ahimsa sanctuary’s range of foods — including
the popular M*Spicy burger — and take-home snacks and sauces that taste as good as they feel.

new album Escapism. She will bring with her a new bag design and several new
ready-to-wear pieces in Boutiques-exclusive colourways, along with signature pieces like the Iron Fairy Shoulder Bag and Queen Bee Shoulder Bag.

Senior Minister of State Sim Ann. Through its Visual Arts Hub programme, it presents a
series of ceramic cups exclusive to Boutiques – each handcrafted and individually glazed by inmates, accompanied by a personal note from the maker, offering a glimpse into their
stories while supporting rehabilitation efforts.
The Boutiques Showcase Grant: Nurturing Local Talents
Awarded each edition to emerging local talents, the Boutiques Showcase Grant reflects

Brands are awarded a combination of financial support, marketing guidance, and
mentorship, with the aim of fostering connections with fellow creatives and empowering them as they continue to grow and expand.
At this edition, Boutiques Singapore is proud to present the Grant to five new recipients —

awardees, Wolfsloth and Aomorie.

Balthazaar creates bold, expressive works of art that explore emotions often left unspoken, from joy and love to resilience and renewal. Working in acrylic and mixed media, each collection is defined by vibrant colour and a strong emotional presence, resulting in pieces that are both deeply personal and powerful.
Focused on high-performance gear built to last, Goliath is a Singapore-born label shaped by its two founders, both avid outdoorspeople. Built for everyday adventurers, the brand
combines engineering, durable materials, and practical design, all while challenging the
notion that technical gear must come at a premium.
