DripDrop isn't your typical rehydration; it's a groundbreaking innovation developed by a humanitarian doctor who recognized the crucial role flavor plays in life-saving hydration—designed with two standards in mind: it had to work fast and it had to taste great.
As a Mayo Clinic medical student, Dr. Eduardo Dolhun learned the potential of ORS. He also realized this important medical intervention—proven to save lives, reduce healthcare resources and save money—had a significant barrier: taste.
Dehydration from diarrhea is the #2 cause of preventable death globally for children under 5
ORS has helped reduce the number of diarrhea-related deaths in the last decade by 54%
During early humanitarian aid missions, Dr. Dolhun witnessed the problematic taste barrier facing traditional ORS.
Although the oral rehydration solution they were using was highly effective, it was hard to get down and keep down, especially for kids who’d unwittingly spit up the very thing that could save their lives.
The number of preventable dehydration deaths stuck with Dr. Dolhun and led him to seek a better solution.
