What it is
This is a specially formulated liquid designed to help rehydrate children. It contains a balanced mix of electrolytes like sodium and potassium, along with carbohydrates. These components work together to help the body absorb fluids more effectively than plain water or other beverages. It is intended for use when a child experiences fluid loss due to vomiting or diarrhea.
