When your body loses a lot of fluid due to heat, intense exercise, or digestive upset, the risk of dehydration is lurking. This can manifest as a listless feeling, dry lips, and reduced vitality, which hinders your daily functioning. Sandoz Rehydration Salt offers the responsible support you need. These carefully formulated sachets help to restore the natural fluid and salt balance in your body quickly and effectively, so that you feel vital and energetic again.
Key benefits
- Rapid rehydration: The optimal ratio of salts and glucose promotes rapid absorption of water in the intestines, which effectively helps with mild to moderately severe dehydration.
- Preventive effect: Excellent for use in preventing fluid deficiency after physical exertion or in case of increased excretion.
- Suitable for the whole family: Safe to use for infants, children, and adults, making it an essential product for the home medicine cabinet.
- Easy to use: The measured 5.4-gram sachets dissolve easily in water or tea, ready for quick consumption.
How it works
Sandoz Rehydration Salt is based on the science of oral rehydration therapy (ORT). When the body loses fluid, it also loses essential electrolytes such as sodium and potassium. The addition of glucose in this formula is crucial: it stimulates the active absorption of sodium and water through the intestinal wall, making the hydration process significantly faster than when drinking water alone.
