How to Use SOS Hydration: Is It Safe for Children and the Elderly?

What is SOS?
SOS Hydration is a low-sugar electrolyte powder based on the World Health Organization's Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) formula—designed for rapid hydration and recovery. Unlike other ORS drinks, SOS uses over 50% less sugar, while maintaining the ideal 1:1 glucose-to-sodium ratio for fast absorption.

Formulated by Dr. Blanca, SOS also includes:

Chloride – the second most lost electrolyte in sweat
Magnesium (10% RDA) – supports muscle function
Zinc (20% RDA) – boosts immunity and improves electrolyte uptake

How to Use SOS Hydration Powder

Standard Use:
Mix 1 stick (or scoop) of SOS with 8 fl oz (250ml) of cold or warm water. It's easy to carry, mix, and drink on the go—ideal for both adults and children.
