Product Information

SOS contains very small amounts of maltodextrin. It is used as a transporter for our natural colors and some other ingredients to help those molecules bind. SOS contains microscopic amounts of corn-derived maltodextrin – and since we understand that for some, microscopic ingredients (gluten) can cause terrible effects, we only use corn-derived maltodextrin because it is safe for celiacs (and other GI issues), and is considered gluten free. If SOS did contain wheat-derived maltodextrin, our ingredients label would include “wheat” and we could not claim gluten free. Below are links to independent articles indicating corn-derived maltodextrin as safe for celiacs: James Mayo: Dr. Blanca took proven medical science (the WHO ORS formula) and married it with sports science, using her experience of gastroenterology to develop something that’s light on the gut and the correct balance of electrolytes. She’s now an advanced fellow gastroenterology and transplant hepatology at the Mayo Clinic. According to the FDA standards, SOS only uses Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS ) ingredients and therefore complies with all regulations for food consumption and production. WHAT DO I MIX SOS WITH?

Can diabetics use SOS? People with water restrictions, heart or kidney problems should refer to a Physician/Doctor before taking SOS. Also, it should not be consumed by children under 1 year old. SOS is not recommended for those with sedentary lifestyles, unless they suffer from mild to moderate dehydration. Is SOS approved for use by the FDA? Yes, even though sodium is essential for osmolarity balance and is involved in many physiologic processes, in excess it can be harmful. Our body has mechanisms to keep a stable sodium-water balance. When we sweat, we lose water with a large sodium concentration. This is why it´s important to replenish the losses. However, too much sodium can cause swelling, and other complications. SOS provides the correct amount of sodium to replenish what you are losing. Is too much water bad for you?

James Mayo: All three, as well as a daily drink. Think of SOS as the foundations to your day. If you start hydrated, you will not suffer from cognitive or physical decline (up to 25% can be lost from dehydration). If the workout will last less than an hour, drink SOS before the workout. If it’s longer or it’s a super-hot day like here in Arizona, then drink before and during with some after. Too much water can be bad for you, as it will dilute the sodium from your blood, decreasing the body's osmolarity. Because water always follows salt, the water will move inside the cells to where the higher sodium concentration is. This concept is known as "water intoxication." SOS is proper hydration: water+sodium+glucose. Fast rehydration, osmotic balance, energy source. WHY IS HYDRATION SO IMPORTANT? LM: Lots of brands are moving to sustainable production methods.

These solutions are made by mixing the perfect amount of electrolytes and glucose, which can help the body absorb up to ten times as much water.

After drinking SOS, you will get a small glucose peak, which provides energy and water absorption enhancement. Dextrose is a simple sugar with a high GI index. How do I know if I am dehydrated?
