Description
Key features and uses :
- Rehydration : Replaces fluids and minerals lost in mild to moderate dehydration.
- Electrolyte balance : Contains an optimal mix of sugar (dextrose) and electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride) for effective hydration, unlike water or most sports drinks.
- For all ages : Suitable for children and adults, with options for infants (unflavored) and specific formulas such as Pedialyte Sport.
- Versatile : Helps fight dehydration due to vomiting, diarrhea, physical exercise, travel and hot weather.
- Recommended by doctors: The No. 1 brand recommended by pediatricians, doctors and pharmacists for hydration.
How it works :
- The combination of sugar and electrolytes creates an osmotic gradient that helps water enter the body’s cells more effectively than plain water.
- Provides essential minerals such as sodium and potassium, which the body needs to work properly but loses during dehydration.
Available forms :
- Liquids: Ready-to-drink bottles, available in several flavors. Powder sachets: To mix with water for convenience.
- Freezer pops: A refreshing way to rehydrate, especially for children.
- Advanced formulas: Products such as Pedialyte AdvancedCare Plus contain preActiv prebiotics.
