Organika Kids Isotonic Electrolytes, Oral Rehydration Solution for Children 1 Year and Over, Berry, Box of 8 or Bag of 20 Sticks

Organika Kids Isotonic Electrolytes Details

An oral rehydration solution for children in single-serve sticks, licensed to prevent dehydration and restore fluids and electrolytes lost to diarrhea and vomiting. Berry flavour, box of 8 or bag of 20. Dosing is banded by age from 1 year.

The mechanism is why an ORS works when plain water does not. Sodium and glucose are absorbed together — a gut-wall transporter carries them as a pair and water follows by osmosis. Get the ratio right and fluid enters the bloodstream far faster than water alone manages. That ratio is what isotonic means here: mixed as directed, it sits at roughly the concentration of body fluids.

Each 6.5g stick dissolves into 250 mL of water, supplying sodium, potassium, chloride, citrate and glucose. The citrate helps correct the acid-base disturbance that comes with fluid loss, rather than being there for flavour. Berry taste comes from natural flavour with stevia, coloured with carrot and blueberry juice.

Rehydration matters more in children, and faster. A smaller body holds a smaller fluid reserve, so the episode that leaves an adult feeling rough can move a toddler toward real dehydration within hours. Getting fluid in early is the whole game, which is why the volumes here are small and repeated.

Berry flavour does real work at this age — a child who refuses the drink gets no benefit. Made in Canada by Organika.

Who Organika Kids Isotonic Electrolytes Is For

For parents of children from 1 year up. It belongs in the cupboard before it is needed rather than bought during a bad night, and it is worth packing for travel where both the risk and the difficulty of finding something suitable go up.

Dehydration in a young child escalates quickly, and this does not replace medical judgement. Call a doctor if your child is under 1 year, if symptoms persist beyond 24 hours, or at any point if you see no wet nappy for several hours, no tears when crying, a dry mouth, sunken eyes, or unusual drowsiness. Those are reasons to seek care, not to give another stick. Also seek advice for blood in the stool or high fever.
