Sport Scientist & Dietitian Review | DRIPDROP oral hydration

Описание: Today we're reviewing DripDrop oral hydration which is a product meant to be an alternative to an IV drip given by people in the mission field to people who are mildly to moderately dehydrated. How good is this product for rehydration and does it make sense to be used to help performance for an athlete?

Following the directions for mixing the drink would result in 38g CHO, 1400mg sodium, and 780g potassium per liter, and they recommend using up to 16 (250ml) servings per day. So, each individual serving is not doing much, and it comes in at $2.10 per serving! It's quite challenging to justify the cost, given how easily and cheaply we can buy the raw ingredients. If you want to make this at home, you only need 2 teaspoons of sugar and 1/8 teaspoon of salt per serving. That's it! Of course, a squeeze of lemon juice or something else might improve the flavor.

We don't recommend this for endurance sports as there are better options. The cost is too high, and there are far too many sticks (individual servings) to open during exercise.
