Hydronorm: Electrolyte Powder for Rapid Rehydration (10 Sachets)

Hydronorm: Electrolyte Powder for Rapid Rehydration (10 Sachets)

Description:

Hydronorm® is a comprehensive electrolyte formula designed to restore fluid and electrolyte balance in cases of dehydration. Specifically formulated for children (1 year and older) and adults experiencing dehydration due to diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, or other conditions resulting in fluid and electrolyte loss.

Dehydration, or dehydration, is a dangerous condition where the body loses more fluids than it takes in. This fluid deficit disrupts the function of virtually all organs and systems, hindering the body's ability to perform its essential functions. Common causes of dehydration include inadequate fluid intake, excessive sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, and various illnesses. These conditions often arise from intestinal infections, poisoning, or even severe anxiety. Illness often leads to decreased food and water intake, coupled with increased sweating, resulting in the loss of vital fluids. While anyone can experience dehydration, children and the elderly are particularly vulnerable.

Hydronorm® features a carefully balanced formula containing glucose and essential electrolytes. These components are crucial not only for restoring fluid and electrolyte balance but also for replenishing lost fluids. This helps prevent dehydration and the loss of vital cellular components like potassium, sodium, and chloride ions. The inclusion of zinc may help shorten the recovery time of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT).

A key characteristic of rehydration solutions is osmolarity. Hydronorm® is a hypo-osmolar solution (245 mOsmol/L), allowing the body to efficiently absorb water and achieve rapid rehydration. This osmolarity aligns with World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations for rehydration solutions.

Ingredients:

Glucose, sodium citrate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, zinc bisglycinate.

Hydronorm® is a specialized dietary supplement for children (1 year and older) and adults, available as a powder in individual sachets (4.157 g ± 10%). The powder is white, with a salty, slightly sweet taste, and free from extraneous flavors.

Active Ingredient Information:

Sodium (Na): A major extracellular ion, essential for maintaining constant osmotic pressure within cells and tissue pH. Its intracellular and extracellular exchange facilitates water retention.
Potassium (K): Works with sodium to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance, regulating water and salt consumption, distribution, and excretion. It helps maintain fluid volume and reduces swelling.
Chloride ions (Cl⁻): Participate in regulating osmotic pressure and maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance. They are also necessary for stomach acid production and the activation of certain enzymes.
Glucose: A simple carbohydrate providing energy and enhancing the absorption of sodium and water through sodium-glucose co-transporters in cell membranes.
Zinc (Zn): Plays a vital role in cell growth, immune function, and the activation of numerous enzymes. Supplemental zinc may reduce the severity and duration of dehydration.
