Reviews

Not Worth the Money

"If you dilute the tablets as per instructions, 500 mL. , the flavour is weak and boring. If you dilute with only 250 mL. , then the flavours are acceptable. Biggest problem I have is instructions state only one tablet daily. For me and my output of energy, this is not enough. They are very convenient however in the tubes."

— Dr. M. (3/5)

First time user

"I first purchased ORS on the recommendation of a pharmacist while on holiday in Kent and Dioralyte was yet again unavailable. I have now switched to ORS as they have some flavour but avoid that cheap boiled sweet taste!"

— Mrs S. (5/5)

Love them

"Love the taste, seem to be doing the job"

— Angela S. (5/5)

Not to my taste

"I love concept - so easy to dissolve and take away in your water bottle however the tablets took a while to dissolve and both me and my child did not really like the taste"

— Laura P. (3/5)

Happy with them

"Happy with them"

I received the hydration bauble

"I received the hydration bauble and a pair of socks with my regular subscription which I really appreciated! Having the opportunity to try the other flavours is great, I normally stick to strawberry but having samples of the full range was a nice surprise. Thank you!"

— Rachel H. (5/5)

Great product. Great company

"ORS tablets are effective, very convenient and come in several flavours. Also, the company is professional was very helpful at resolving a problem I had when I ordered through Amazon. In future I will order directly through the ORS company."

— Peter (5/5)

These aren't for me

"Unfortunately these aren't for me they almost have a sparkling effect which really messed with my stomach acid. I can imagine some people would prefer the flavour of these then others but unfortunately these just aren't for me"

— Lianne A. (3/5)

"Very nice, does what it says!"

— David (5/5)

For everyday hydration (O.R.S original range) we recommend 4 tablets per 1L. For ORS sports and immunity range, it would be 1 tablet per 1L
If I wanted to have a longer drink say for over an hour how many tablets would I use and quality of water please
Dear Hazel, If you wish to have a longer-lasting hydration drink for over an hour using the tablet concentration (2 tablets dissolved in either 200 ml for general hydration or 500 ml for sport hydration), you can adjust the number of tablets and water accordingly. Please note that individual hydration needs can vary depending on factors like activity level, weather conditions, and personal preferences. Adjust the number of tablets and water to suit your specific requirements and comfort level keeping the recommended dilution in mind. Please let us know if you have any more questions. Kind Regards, Adrianna
