Our Verdict
DripDrop has legitimate ORS science credentials (founded by an ER physician, follows WHO rehydration guidelines) and uses good mineral source forms (citrate across the board). However, the combination of 7g sugar plus sucralose is a questionable formulation choice -- if you need sugar for glucose-sodium co-transport, the sucralose is unnecessary; if you want low sugar, 7g is still significant. No calcium, and silicon dioxide filler rounds out the concerns.
