I recently discovered DripDrop Hydration Powder for the first time when I accepted Smiley360's offer to send me free samples of DripDrop to try and give my opinion of.
I was sent a kit containing:
• 3 Sample Stick Packets of Berry DripDrop
• 3 Sample Stick Packets of Lemon DripDrop
• 2 $2.00 off coupons
So what is DripDrop?
DripDrop is an oral rehydration solution (ORS) that can be used to prevent dehydration and to treat mild to moderate dehydration. It was developed by a Mayo trained doctor to be a quality, effective, good-tasting rehydration aid.
It's a powdered hydration drink mix that comes in a box of 8 single-serving powdered drink mix sticks, and is available in 2 flavors - Lemon and Berry.
It's quick and easy-to-use, just open a packet, empty the powder into a glass of cold or hot water, mix well, and drink.
Appearance: *****
Powder: The Lemon is a whitish-pale yellow, fine powder, the Berry is a pale pink, fine powder.
When mixed with water: Lemon looks like regular Lemonade, Berry looks like Pink Lemonade.
Taste: ****
Lemon has a lightly sweet Lemonade taste, Berry has a lightly sweet Berry taste. I like that it's not overly sweet. However, it contains the artificial sweetener Sucralose, which I could taste in it's slight aftertaste. Since I'm not a fan of the taste of Sucralose and other artificial sweeteners I didn't like that.
Smell: *****
Lemon has a light lemon scent, Berry has a light berry scent.
Effectiveness: *****
It seemed to hydrate well.
Ease of Use: *****
It's quick and easy to use; just open a DripDrop packet, empty it into 8 oz of water, mix, and drink.
Price/Value: ***
It's slightly expensive; A box of 8 packets has an average price of $9.99, which is $1.24 per single serving. If in need of something to treat dehydration it may be a fair value, but not something I'd consider an affordable value to drink daily.
Convenience: *****
It comes in conveniently pre-portioned, single-serve packets that are easy to fit in a purse, bag, or pocked, making them convenient to take and use on-the-go.
Side effects/Reactions: **
It gave both me and my mom gastro-intestinal upset, which we attributed to the Sucralose.
My Overall Rating: ***
If it didn't contain an artificial sweetener, I'd give it 5 stars.
Unless DripDrop was to change their formulation by removing Sucralose and use only sugar to sweeten it, I will not continue using and purchasing DripDrop due to it containing Sucralose and the taste & tummy upset that caused.
However, I do recommend it as an effective rehydration aid to anyone who doesn't mind consuming and the taste of Sucralose, and isn't gastro-intestinally sensitive to it
