What are dripdrop hydration – electrolyte powder packets – watermelon features?
Patented, doctor-developed formula – dr. Eduardo dolhun developed dripdrop to treat and prevent dehydration where iv therapy wasn’t available. The invention was such a breakthrough dripdrop’s formula received a u.s. Patent, and dr. Dolhun was awarded the 2017 mayo clinic alumni association humanitarian award. And now, as a public benefit corporation on a mission to defeat dehydration globally, we use your purchases to generate life-saving donations of dripdrop to those who need it most.
Ors electrolyte powder – dripdrop’s patented formula uses ors science to activate a hydration shortcut known as the sodium-glucose cotransport system. Accelerating fluid absorption into the bloodstream 2-3x so you can feel better faster. And, unlike most electrolyte drink mixes, it tastes amazing.
3x the electrolytes & 1⁄2 the sugar of sports drinks – our patented formula delivers dehydration relief fast when you need it most. With a precise ratio of sodium electrolytes and glucose. As well as potassium, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin c for maximum immune support.
Great for signs of dehydration caused by workout, travel & heat exhaustion – dehydration affects 75% of people daily, negatively impacting both physical and mental performance. Stay hydrated and recover faster from dehydration resulting from heat, nausea, diuretics, exercise, and more.
Unmatchable flavor – finally, fast, effective dehydration relief that tastes amazing. Just mix our hydration powder with 8 ounces of water to taste (and feel) the difference for yourself.
There are 16 oz packets you can also find on amazon.
Is there caffeine?
No caffeine. This product is the very best on the market…gentle & quickly effective with no side effects or disruptions to the body. It’s also not full of questionable additives that are found in other products.
Does this product have caffeine?
No. No caffeine
What is the shelf life?
Don’t know – didn’t last that long… They are individually wrapped.
How many of each flavor is in the bold variety pack? Are they evenly distributed (so 8 of each flavor) or is the number of each flavor random?
The nutrition info shows 8 of each flavor
Does this contain citric acid?
Not sure.
Can anyone compare this to liquid iv?
Saline restores electrolyte in body and the powder form is similar. I buy assorted flavors and very pleased. My body stays hydrated.
Is the main package recyclable?
I am not sure. No place on package that says it is. It also has a foil lining and feels slightly waxy. My guess would be no but that is purely speculation.
Full ingredient list?
Sugar, fructose, sodium citrate, natural flavor, potassium citrate, trimagnesium citrate, salt, ascorbic acid (vitamin c), fruit and vegetable juice as color, sucralose, zinc aspartate.
Why put something as awful as sucrulose in here? That’s counter productive.
We understand that sucralose does not work in everyone’s diet. We have found that our inclusion of the small amount of sucralose used in dripdrop ors improves the overall flavor profile and works to provide not only the best taste for our customers, it also helps make dripdrop ors more effective in treating dehydration. We do appreciate your feedback though as we are always looking at opportunities to better serve our customers and community.

W much sodium does it have?
Each packet has 330mg sodium
How often do you use it?
I drink about 2-3 times per day; 12 oz glass. Should probably be based on your hydration need, not used as a medication.
Is there an ingredient list?
I you d one listed on amazon.
Does it contain artificial dyes?
It reads: no artificial flavors or preservatives gluten free and non gmo. Hope this helps.
Do you have just the fruit punch flavor?
Many flavors! My favorite is watermelon! Check out their website
I’m trying to figure out how many i need to order. Florida welder in a shipyard, no shade. 200°+ 8hrs/5days. 4/24oz powerades arent enough for me.
As a medical professional and fireman, i would suggest buying the large package to start. You need to alternate water with rehydration drinks as well. That way you maintain a good nutritional balance and don’t overdo the sugars and salts. Please take frequent breaks if possible. If you start to feel dizzy, stop and get cooled off. If you no longer sweat, get to the er.

Confusing sizes. Do all individual oacks contain enough for 16 oz of water?
The individual packs are each sized for 16 ounces of water to be added.
When adding this to your bottled water, does this make the water thicker?
Not at all. It’s very light tasting and mixes very well. Just don’t dunk the end of the packet in the water and it will sprinkle and mix nicely.
Are their choices with less sugar?
Not that i know of although they did ask customers about lowering the sugar. Dr. Berg’s mixes have stevia which supposedly does not affect blood sugar.
Wow crap stuff in it??
The ingredients are listed, you can make your own judgment based on what you consider to be “crap stuff”. I personally don’t think there’s anything bad in it and they are much better than any other dehydration packet i’ve tried.
A few years ago i figured out that it didn’t matter how much water i drank when i was exerting and sweating, i couldn’t rehydrate my body well enough. I would end up cramping in the middle of the night. Now i use these drip drop packets as a ‘pre-emptive strike’ before, during and after hard work and they make all the difference. The taste is also fantastic and they don’t have that funky aftertaste that a lot of these type of electrolyte powders have. I highly recommend drip drops!!!

Awesome rehydration for ibs sufferers
I’ve been using dripdrop for years to handle the dehydration that results from my ibs medication. It’s easy to use, doesn’t taste bad, and works quick if used correctly.
Pros: – great taste (fav. Flavor is berry) – great value (for casual rehydration, like post-exercise, you can use 1/4 to 1/2 of a stick and clip off the top of the remaining powder for another time. This pack lasts a long while like that) – dissolves quickly (though you should still stir/shake it just to be sure!) – just as effective as other medical rehydration solutions (like pedialyte) – easy to store
cons: – none of the flavors are ‘natural’ tasting (which is to cover the electrolyte taste) – using too much powder can mess you up (follow instructions on box and/or use less than instructed, not more!)
dripdrop is my go-to for at-home and on the go rehydration. The packets are easily stored in a bag, box, or cabinet─but don’t keep them in your car! The powder may clump and not dissolve correctly if exposed to high heat.
If you’ve not used a rehydration solution before, make sure to drink plenty of plain water after having the solution! If you have any medical conditions, consult a doctor before use as well. Some folks may retain certain electrolytes better than others and could face health issues if so. Be safe and stay hydrated!

Great and tasty way to beat dehydration without a lot of sodium
The flavors are all good and it’s a lot better than gatorade or the other drinks with so much sodium and sugar. Super fast way to get rehydrated if you have a headache or are sick and don’t like drinking plain water.

Just what i needed!
This arrived on time and in perfect condition. I like the individual packets. Just rip off the top and pour into my water jug and wa-la. Drink and enjoy!
The flavors are basic ones i wanted to try. I wish they would make these all in one flavor. I really like the cherry but can only get it in a variety pack.
I bought these at the store first and gave them a try. Then decided to try a bigger pack and looked online

Wasn’t expecting this
I am always thirsty. Been to the doctor many times but they don’t know why. Because i drink several gallons of water every day, you can imagine i get very bloated and uncomfortable. I saw an ad for this and thought maybe it would keep me hydrated while helping me cut back on the ridiculous volume of water that i drink.
I didn’t have any expectations and honestly expected it to be overhyped. It’s crazy. Drinking one glass of this feels like i’m getting the satisfaction of drinking 5 glasses of water. I’m really hoping drinking a few of these a day will help me cut back to a reasonable amount of normal water throughout the day. Also they taste really good too!

Buy these!
We had a trip to vegas recently and it’s 100+ degrees there all day long so we knew we needed a hydration powder. We were thinking of getting liquid iv powder or pedialyte but then we saw these. The price was great and it had similar properties to liquid iv so we tried them. Our entire group absolutely loved them and this was the reason we didn’t feel dehydrated in 100 degree weather. I’m going to be buying these for a long time. The flavors are so tasty our favorite was watermelon combined with lemon! Definitely recommend these!!

Good rehydration powder
A friend of mine introduced me to this product one day when i was exhausted after a bike ride. I mixed it in water and felt good and energized enough to get back on the bike and ride a few more miles.

Great for outdoor fun!
Bought these to keep hydrated during a “fun” golf tournament. It was hot and the beers they were a flowing!!! The hydration packets definitely did the job they claimed to do. The flavors were pretty good as well.

Pots friendly
I’ve tried so many types of these electrolyte drop in products. They all seem to make the water “thick” and just not easy to drink. I find every flavor nice, and refreshing. Dissolves easily and doesn’t give it an odd texture. I’ve had pots since 2014 and after a while, gatorade upsets my stomach. This has more sodium anyways(330mg). I just wish it wasn’t so expensive. My son also swears by this to help prevent or recover from hangovers lol. He will drink this before bed after a night of drinking and feel great in the morning.

Super tasty and hydrating
Bought this for a hot summer day in disneyworld day drinking. Usually i get sick when i drink and am always dehydrated anyway. Consuming a few of these throughout the day not only kept me hydrated but i was also able to drink a few different alcoholic beverages and did not get sick for once. The flavors are also really tasty.

Not to sweet!
Good flavor and not overly sweet. Do not get a sugar rush from the drink, so this is a good thing. Will buy again after trying different flavors.

It’s ok.
Flavors are ok. The lemon and orange flavors are not good. I had to chug it because i couldn’t stand the taste. (and i’m ok drinking kombucha lol) it tasted very artificial. Another disappointment is the 10$ shipping fee. I was comparing prices to quantity, and thought this would be a good deal. It also only tastes good with about 8-10oz of water. It is a small pouch of powder but for the price i expected more. I think i would go for a different brand next time. This product is fine but not my expectations.

I only gave 4 stars because the packets are 1/2 the size of i/v drink mixes other than that it’s a good deal.
