Claims14
An oral rehydration composition, comprising:
- a) at least 40% w/w sucrose;
- b) between 3% w/w and 5% w/w sodium;
- c) between 0.1% w/w chloride and less than 1.5% w/w chloride;
- d) potassium, at a level less than 5% w/w;
- e) between 20% w/w and 30% w/w citric acid or citrate;
- and
- f) glucose, at a level less than 0.5% w/w;
- wherein the composition has a w/w ratio of sodium ions to chloride ions of at least 5:1, and wherein, upon mixture with an effective amount of water, the composition has an osmolarity of between 230 mOsm/L and 240 mOsm/L.
