FAQ
Is Mango 500 an ORS?
No. DripDrop is positioned as an oral rehydration solution with a sugar-glucose carrier system. Mango 500 is a zero-sugar daily hydration stick. Different tool, different job.
Why no glucose in Mango 500?
A small amount of glucose can speed sodium absorption — but most of our customers don’t want a daily dose of added sugar in a hydration drink. We optimized for daily use first.
