Q&A

Are they good for Diarrhea lost salts
Yes, O.R.S Hydration Tablets are formulated to meet World Health Organisation (WHO) standards for oral hydration, therefore they are suitable for replenishing lost salts during the illness
How many tablets for 1L
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
