SOS ingredients have been specifically balanced and formulated for rehydration. We use no artificial sweeteners, colors, flavors or preservatives.
For more information on our ingredients and what they do, please visit the ‘The Science’ section of our website.
SOS uses the World Health Organization´s Oral Rehydration Therapy recommendations and data from the American College of Sports Medicine. By correctly balancing the amount of sodium and glucose, SOS enhances the water absorption process by activating the body’s natural mechanism know as the Sodium/Glucose co-transport system, which is located in the small bowel. When SOS arrives to the small intestine, one molecule of sodium is quickly pulled into the blood vessels by one molecule of glucose; subsequently, due to osmotic forces, water gets absorbed as it always follows sodium.
This is the main reason why we need salt (sodium) and sugar (glucose). With salt we can prevent “water intoxication” and maintain a good osmolarity; with the correct types of sugars, we forestall the development of lactic acidosis.
An ORS is an Oral Rehydration Solution. A solution can be considered an ORS when it complies with the World Health Organization specification. 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.This form of therapy was first discovered more that 50 years ago to treat patients with Cholera. The benefits of ORS use for an active lifestyle have become apparent more recently. SOS has taken this science and developed it for people with active lifestyles.
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.
SOS should only be mixed with clean water. Each stick contains enough ingredients to be mixed with 8 fluid ounces (250ml) of water.
Always ensure that the product is well mixed and consumed within 24 hours of preparation.
First things first: SOS does not condone drinking under 18 yrs of age and recommends responsible drinking. And please don’t drink and drive. One of the main reasons people feel terrible the morning after a night out is because they are dehydrated. Alcohol has a diuretic effect because it inhibits the secretion of a hormone in the brain known as the antidiuretic hormone (ADH). This substance acts on the kidney to reabsorb water. When ADH levels drop, the kidneys produce more urine, which dehydrates you. In fact, for every 1 gram of alcohol consumed, urine excretion increases by 10 milliliters.
After an evening of alcohol consumption, we recommend drinking one SOS just before going to bed and one SOS next morning.
This is lifestyle survival according to SOS!
SOS is different from typical sports drinks because it is a low osmolarity solution that contains 3 times more electrolytes and 75% less carbohydrates than typical sports drinks. Due to their high sugar content, Sports Drinks have a high osmolarity. This may lead to bloating and even diarrhoea. High osmolarity in the gut will pull water from the blood vessels into the gut instead of absorbing it; this is known as osmotic diarrhoea.
The main ingredients of energy drinks are high amounts of sugar and caffeine. As their name says, they are made to give an artificial energy boost; they are not meant to rehydrate you. Caffeine is known to be a diuretic because it blocks the Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) in the brain, thus increasing the urine production. After that initial energy boost you will feel tired and you will definitively be dehydrated. Some of the main dehydration symptoms are tiredness, headaches, constipation, and lightheadedness.
SOS is all-natural and gives you a fast and healthy boost of water. Proper hydration is key for good performance and lifestyle survival.
Diabetic people with active lifestyles can drink SOS to help them hydrate more effectively. SOS contains two types of sugars: sucrose and dextrose. Sucrose is a medium glycemic index sugar. It is a disaccharide (formed by two molecules of sugar). Once it arrives to the small intestines, sucrose splits into one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose. 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.
Dehydration can cause headaches, irritability, weakness, dizziness, concentration impairment, tiredness, dry mouth, and more. Any of these symptoms may indicate that you are dehydrated.
A couple of tips below to monitor your hydration status.
Thirst: When we start sensing thirst, we are already 2% dehydrated. Be aware that our thirst sense decreases with aging. Luckily, there are better ways of assessing dehydration!
Urine volume and colour: Yes, as simple as that. Nobody knows your body better than you. You have noticed that after a long run or a big night out your urine volume is lower and the colour is dark-orange–that means that you are dehydrated. If you urinate light and clear urine in a correct volume, your body is hydrated. If you see a darker-orange colour, you are dehydrated.
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.
Hydration is necessary for survival. Water is the most important element in humans, as a full 60% of our body is water. This vital liquid is involved in every metabolic process of our body. We can only live one week without it. Losing just 2% of your body weight through dehydration can significantly decrease your performance through detrimental effects on physiological, neuromuscular, reaction, decision making. Using SOS can help you keep performing at your peak.

I love the flavor of these. They give an extra punch to water. I’ve used them during long gym sessions and after hangovers and they’re great for both. I keep some in my gym bag and my purse in case of emergencies.
Shirley
Glad I found these on Amazon! I tried a sample at my local grocery store & was instantly hooked! Keeps my hydrated all day, I use it after my kick boxing class & will continue to use! Amazing stuff!!
Jill L
Best hydration aid I’ve found. Wish I knew about it sooner. I’m a long distance marathon runner prone to dehydration and leg cramps. I’ve been looking for the perfect hydration drink; without drinking all those sugary sports drink. So far I love SOS.
Rob B.
I’ve been using SOS for 3 years now. It’s seen me through multiple triathlons, century cycling rides, and other events. I tried a bunch of different drinks through the years. Most of which are somewhat heavy/dense compared to straight water. During endurance events, I find my body reacts best to SOS’ light feeling.
Karen
As an avid runner, specifically distance running, I’m always on looking to optimize my hydration plan. SOS works great for me. It doesn’t leave that sugary taste in your mouth like most sports drinks & doesn’t upset the stomach.
Heidi
Now that I know about SOS, I don’t know what I would do without it! I first started using SOS for high intensity workouts and noticed that I felt more capable to operate at higher levels of fitness for longer periods of time, which was amazing. Bonus: every time I drank it prior to a workout, people I saw would comment on how incredible my skin looked, which is awesome!
Amazon Customer
SOS is amazing. I’m an avid runner and all-out life enthusiast. I’ve tried many different forms of electrolytes. Most leave you with a terrible gut rot feeling and sloshing in your belly. I have not once encountered those feelings with SOS. The taste is great (I love mango and coconut).
Sheldon Bright
These things literally saved my life. Started getting light headed and feeling sick. first signs of hyponatremia. I quickly drank one of these in a cup of water and added two to my camel pack. I felt much better in an hour or so but still a little shaky. After drinking one more before bed I felt fine the next day.
ashina.phekoo
Great product. I’ve recommended it to a few friends and they’ve loved it too!
Cayla
So delicious (especially the mango flavour 😉) and great that it’s a better alternative for me than other brands on the market!
Michelle Eggers
Historically I used SOS regularly for any run post 7 miles. I am very sensitive–prone to quick dehydration and allergic to sugar so SOS is the only drink on the market that works for me, preventing dehydration, muscle cramps and headaches. Last week during my run my arm swelled up and I was rushed to the hospital; the end result was a blood clot as a result of a sports injury. The blood thinners the doctor put me on is dehydrating me and causing severe cramping/pain. I remembered that SOS essentially works like an IV. I have been drinking 2 a day and it completely relieved the cramping.
Mark Randall
What a fantastic product I can’t recommend it any more highly it was such a game changer in my training and on race day. Thank you SOS.
Laura Fahey
SOS is the best hydration option I have tried. I’ve only had the citrus flavor, but will definitely try the blueberry. I used it during a long run and felt great….no stomach problems or cramps like I usually get from sports drinks (which are too sugary tasting for me) or other tabs (which just taste like chemicals). I really enjoyed the taste too…a little sweet and a little salty – it was just right. I will recommend SOS to my running club for sure.
Amazon Customer
SOS hydration is gold to my running routine! I’m training for an ultra 50k and SOS gives me the extra hydration and boost I need on my long runs! I love the coconut flavour and the citrus!! They are at the top with my other faves!! I don’t leave the house for a race or run without SOS in my soft flask! Thanks so much SOS great product!
Keisha
Love my SOS hydration – it’s my go to for during or after a long run. With convenient sachets, and great flavours, I couldn’t survive summer runs without my SOS!
Jeanne
I love SOS – great way to stay hydrated while on the run!!
Meredith
I have tried the mango SOS. At first I was dubious about the flavour because I usually only like lemon flavours, but the taste was fantastic. It wasn’t too sweet, and I found that it really aided my post race recovery. Thanks for making such a great product.
Darren
Absolutely love the SOS range. The flavours are great and it gives me such a refreashing feeling after a long run. It feels like thats just what i needed, because it is! It makes me feel great and perform better. What more could you ask for?
Rohan
Since discovering SOS Hydration I have been so impressed with the product that I have shared my first batch with my Run Well training crew . Not only does SOS taste great, I feel refreshed & wbegetic after workouts & training sessions and appreciate the reduced sugar content & hence avoiding associated sugar spikes . SOS has become a daily replenishing drink that tastes great!
Kerri-Ann
LOVE my SOS! Before exercise to make sure I’m hydrated, afterwards to get my electrolytes sorted… without having to worry about extra sugar and calories. Great flavors, easy to mix, it’s brilliant!
Denyan
I have been using SOS for nearly a year now and it has helped me balancing a busy Uni and Running life by making sure I have a hydrated healthy body and mind! The flavours are great, my favourite taste-wise is the coconut, but I can’t go past citrus after a race or tough workout!
Cullen
I love sos they have the best hydrating products out there hands down. Love these emails as well.
Kirsty
I love that SOS is in individual sachets so I can have a few in my running bag, a few in my glove box and some in my handbag! Also, they dissolve easily so there isn’t any gritty water at the end!
Jina
Love SOS. Because of low sugar content I can drink without worries.
Carlos
Fantastic product, it works a must buy especially if your doing sports ⚽🎾⚾
Customer on Amazon
Each morning I would wake up and start my day with a scoop and a bottle of water. Helped me recover from the night before and feel good for the day in the sun at the beach. No complaints and will continue to order this stuff.
Hirsh on Amazon
I just finished training for my first half marathon and used SOS during and after my runs. It was not only tasty, but also allowed me to keep going. The citrus flavor is my favorite. It’s small, easy to carry and easy to drink. I plan on keeping a constant supply of these at my place, and I highly recommend you do the same!
Amazon Customer
I run a lot and I have tried several hydration products. This one is my favorite. It’s not sweet and immediately begins to make me feel better after a long, humid run.
TJK on Amazon
Drink before bed after a night of drinking. Maybe placebo but I swear it helps.
Nikki Zepeda
I have an illness that makes me extremely dehydrated and I’ve tried many things, including hospital IVs….. This is the only product that I’ve found that makes the difference and the price is much cheaper than most energy drinks!
Guillermo Ortiz
I use to have the regular brands after running but got tired of drinking plain water with sugar. I have been trying with SOS and I do feel the differece. Aside from the formulation has many good things: 1. Small packages are easy to carry 2. Simple to mix with water when you’re ready to drink, 3. Taste is good and refreshing. Citrus flavor is my fav.
Erin
Amazing taste and great value, after following few girls on instagram was convinced to try and was amazed how good they taste
Betty
Love this flavour! Why can’t all sports drink be like SOS Hydration?
Trevor Rogers
What a great product, Ive been using SOS for almost a year now and I’ve yet to catch a cramp during my Tri events. Beyond the product being amazing I got a chance to meet the founders who are highly educated and retired world class athletes, I was able to speak with them and learn more of hydration and how immense it was towards my physical performance.
Daniel Rogers
I work in the construction industry and its a great product to take to work. The convenience of small sachets makes it easy to put into your bottle of water whenever you need to. Water isnt enough for me and SOS helps keep me hydrated and focused especially on a hot day in the sun.
Bob Webley
I tried it for the first time yesterday, free samples on Bicycle Qld’s Great Brisbane Bike Ride, I found the product great, good taste, not too sweet, and seemed to make rehydration just that bit easier, it is a product I intend using on future rides.
Bronwyn Yudkin
Great idea as the SOS on the bottle is a great reminder to drink and rehydrate yourself
Lynsey on Amazon
I used the product before and after my first half marathon and was able to see a noticeable difference in how I felt; now I use SOS on a daily basis! I did a lot of research on other similar rehydration products and found SOS to be the best option health-wise. I have a magnesium deficiency and a big draw for me was the levels of magnesium in the SOS product; an added bonus was the low levels of sugar the product offers in comparison to other similar products.
Whitney Shearer
The first initial tastes kind of salty but immediately afterwards it goes away and you can barely taste anything. I love it because it has low sugar but great for hot summer days. I’m a runner and use it in a more concentrated form on race day.
Matt S Slee
I tried your sachets last week in training. Good choice of flavours! I’ll make a purchase before my next race block. 🙂
Damien Gosley
Honestly, just tastes great, works great. No flaws.
Allisha Jean
Current favourite is definitely coconut!
Hayley Wolfenden
Tastes great! …………………………….. 🙂
Sarah Spoljaric
I really like the coconut flavour. SOS doesn’t upset my stomach post run like some other brands.
Hayley Mclean
I love every flavour. We all need more then water every other day. SOS is the perfect choice as there is less sugar.
Belinda Garlick
Tastes great, refreshing and easy to drink – instead of sugary. Amazing product for sports, hangovers and firefighting.
Gregory on Amazon
I can say with confidence that the product also works extremely well when taken before going to bed to mitigate the effects of drinking alcohol. I notice a huge improvement the next morning versus drinking just plain water.
Bronwyn Yudkin
