Why DripDrop Matters to Firefighters
REVIEWS FROM THE FIELD
The DripDrop Difference
Must Have Sodium
When it comes to dehydration, not all electrolytes are created equal. Sodium is key electrolyte necessary to pull fluids and other electrolytes into your bloodstream. But sodium has a tough time getting through the small intestine on its own. It needs a little glucose to speed absorption.
A Little Glucose
Pairing sodium with a little glucose helps fluids and electrolytes pass rapidly from your intestines into your bloodstream via the sodium-glucose cotransport system. With the right ratio of sodium and glucose, water absorption can increase by 2-3x into your body.
Low Osmolarity
DripDrop keep the particles in our solution (i.e. osmolarity) low. Why? For optimal efficacy and speed. Fewer particles equals speedier absorption, so you can feel better faster.
Unmatchable Flavor
Making a rehydration solution that works this well taste this good isn't easy. Without compromising efficacy, DripDrop provides great-tasting dehydration relief.
