Dehydration is generally defined as a reduction in water content throughout the body due to fluid loss, reduced fluid intake or a combination of both. The most common symptoms of dehydration include excessive thirst, fatigue, dizziness, confusion, reduced urination and dark urine. Very often, dehydration occurs for simple reasons such as not enough ingestion of liquids (due to sickness or distraction) or no access to clean water. Dehydration can also be caused by diarrhea; vomiting; fever; excessive sweating and increased urination.
The treatment for dehydration is fluid intake, but the replenishment of the lost electrolytes can be easier and faster if ORS (Oral Rehydration Salts) are used.
ORSalts® is a ORS with added value. It adds to the electrolytes and glucose, 11 strains of probiotics, prebiotics and zinc.
ORSalts® contains electrolytes, responsible for rehydrate the organism; restore the loss fluids; regulate the water distribution in the organism and decrease severity of diarrhea episodes.
ORSalts® contains glucose that increases sodium absorption in the intestine as much as threefold.
ORSalts® contains 11 strains of probiotics: 6 billion bactobacillus: L. Acidophilus, L. Rhamnosus, L. Plantarum, L. Reuteri, L. Paracasei, L. Casei; 4 billion bifidobacterium: B. Lactis, B. Bifidum, B. Longum, B. Breve, B. Infantis.
Probiotics are defined as microorganisms that survive the digestive process to confer a health benefit on the host.
ORSalts® contains dietary prebiotics that are typically non-digestible fiber compounds that pass undigested through the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract and stimulate the growth or activity of beneficial bacteria that colonize the large bowel, by acting as substrate for them. The galacto-oligosacharides (GOS) present in ORSalts® contribute to stimulate the growth, proliferation and activity of beneficial intestinal bacteria.
ORSalts® contains zinc, an essential mineral that is naturally present in some foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement. Zinc is involved in numerous aspects of cellular metabolism according to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
ORSalts® is packed in boxes of 10 sachets.
