- DripDrop - Hydration Powder Berry - 8 Powder Packets (10 g / 0.35 oz. each) Drip Drop Hydration Powder is a fast-acting and great-tasting hydration powder! DripDrop's patented hydration powder is based on World Organization's formula for Oral Rehydration Solutions (ORS), a precise ratio of sodium, sugars, and electrolytes that enhances absorption and speeds recovery. Oral Rehydration Solutions have been used for more than 50 years to treat dehydration in the most challenging circumstances, including treating Cholera and Ebola patients, and in disaster zones where fresh water is in short supply. Absorbs to Treat and Prevent Dehydration Clinically Shown to Hydrate More Effectively Than Water Alone Replaces Fluid and Electrolytes Lost Through Exercise, Heat and Illness A Scientific Breakthrough in O.R.S. So what are Oral Rehydration Solutions or ORS? Oral Rehydration Solutions are a precise ratio of sodium, sugars and other electrolytes designed for maximum absorption and fast recovery from dehydration. And What's the Breakthrough? Traditionally, ORS taste like seawater. DripDrop tastes like a sports drink while maintaining low osmolarity (the speed fluids are absorbed into your body). Low osmolarity is a mark of medical grade hydration. How does it work? DripDrop activates the Sodium Glucose Co-Transport system, one of the fastest hydration mechanisms in the human body. It literally pulls water from your gut into your bloodstream and hydrates you faster. History of ORS Oral Rehydration: A Medical Breakthrough That Has Saved Millions Salt, sugar, water. These three household ingredients comprise one of the world's most effective cures for dehydration. When mixed together, along with other electrolytes, they create an oral rehydration solution (ORS). It's simple, easy-to-administer, and has been credited with reversing millions of life-threatening cases of dehydration. Oral rehydration might not sound familiar, but it's well-known by workers throughout the world. Doctors Without Borders once called it "the most important medical advance since penicillin." And since the 1980s, the World Organization and UNICEF have distributed millions of doses in situations. ORS remains to be one of the most successful medical interventions in the world. For instance, diarrhea, and resulting dehydration, is the No. 2 cause of preventable death globally for children under 5. Thanks in a large part to ORS, the number of diarrhea-related deaths in the last decade has dropped by 54 percent, from 1.3 million in 2000 to 600,000 in 2013.[i] Yet, for such an effective and low-cost , ORS remains under-utilized in the West. Most consumers have never heard of it, and physicians here haven't embraced it fully. The Sodium-Glucose Cotransport: An Important Medical Advance In 1960, American chemist Dr. Robert K. Crane discovered the sodium-glucose co-transport system. Crane noticed that the body's absorption of glucose was dependent on sodium. Thus, when glucose is present in the small intestine, sodium is absorbed more quickly. In turn, the sodium draws additional water into the bloodstream. The right ratio of glucose and sodium in a solution can accelerate the rate at which water is absorbed by the body. Crane's discovery was put to use in 1968 by a research team in Bangladesh led by David Nalin. Nalin's group fashioned a crude version of ORS, mixing electrolytes, sugars and water that proved effective in treating cholera-induced dehydration. The small field test found that an "oral solution containing glucose and electrolytes helped reduce the intravenous fluid needs for 80 percent of adult cholera patients.[ii]" It was a breakthrough discovery. ORS was put into wide application, during the 1971 Bangladeshi refugee crisis. Thousands of refugees were succumbing to severe dehydration caused by cholera. Unfortunately, the doctors at the camp were undersupplied with field IVs, and they turned to ORS. At the time, the morta.
