Product details
Where this label sits
DripDrop ORS Electrolyte Powder is one of the hydration mixes in the Scoop Sense database. It runs 16 servings per container at the full labeled serving. Everything on this page comes from the manufacturer's supplement facts panel as of July 2026 — never from the marketing page.
Key ingredients & studied doses
- Sodium (sodium citrate) · 330 mg. Sodium is studied for its role in fluid retention and balance during sweat loss.
- Potassium (potassium citrate) · 185 mg. Potassium contributes to normal muscle function and fluid balance.
- Magnesium (magnesium citrate) · 39 mg. Magnesium plays a role in normal muscle function.
- Zinc · 1.5 mg. Zinc contributes to normal immune function and is a common addition in oral rehydration formulas.
Flavors & sweetener
Sold in Bold and Juicy variety packs (Berry, Watermelon, Lemon, Orange, Fruit Punch and more), each stick carrying 7 g of sugar.
Who it's best for
Everyday training and moderate sweat losses — a middling sodium load. The sugar is part of the design, aiding fluid uptake the way oral rehydration research uses glucose — skip it if you want zero sugar. Derived from the label figures above — not medical advice.
How we log this label
Every entry is built the same way: we read the current supplement facts panel, log each disclosed dose, compare it against the amounts used in published research, flag proprietary blends, and state the cautions plainly. The full methodology explains each step.
This label against the research
How we evaluate labelsEach bar shows the amount commonly used in published human research, and where this label's dose falls against it. Research amounts are context, not a recommendation — they are not doses, and nothing here is medical advice.

Sodium330 mg
The studied range is 300–700 mg of sodium per litre of fluid, and this label does not state the volume to mix a serving into — so its concentration, which is what the range measures, cannot be worked out from the panel. Check the mixing instructions on the pack.
Source: Mosler et al., German Journal of Sports Medicine 2020 (DGE position) — “the optimal sports drink should contain 400-1100 mg / l sodium in addition to carbohydrates (4-8%)”
What other people say
Why we don't rate productsTwo different things, side by side: the rating the seller publishes on its own store, and what independent users write in public threads. Scoop Sense writes neither and collects no reviews of its own. Neither is evidence that a product works — they describe what people experienced and expected, not what the research shows.

Common questions about DripDrop ORS Electrolyte Powder
How much sodium is in DripDrop ORS Electrolyte Powder?
330 mg per serving, alongside 7 g of sugar. Sodium is the main electrolyte lost in sweat, but needs vary widely with sweat rate and diet — and daily sodium from food counts toward the same total.
