Is Flavoured ORS Good?

Published in ORS Palatability 1 min read

Yes, flavoured Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) is generally considered good, as most people prefer it.

According to research, the majority of subjects preferred commercially flavoured ORS. While small amounts of apple or orange juice can be added to ORS, it doesn't improve palatability compared to commercially available flavoured options.

Feature Flavoured ORS (Commercially) Unflavoured ORS
Palatability Preferred by most Less preferred
Electrolyte Balance Controlled Controlled
Osmolality Controlled Controlled
Ease of Use Convenient Convenient

Therefore, considering the preference of most individuals, flavoured ORS can be considered a good option for rehydration.
