REFERENCES AND RESEARCH

Using the best in medical science, SOS is engineered by a leading doctor, two former elite athletes, and a retired military officer with the purpose of combatting dehydration in order to improve overall human performance.

THIRD PARTY RESEARCH

SOS is based on, and falls within the ranges set out by the World Health Organization Oral Rehydration Solution Guidelines. These guidelines are supported by over 50 years research into dehydration. The following articles delve deeper into the effectiveness of these Oral Rehydration Solutions and our specific formula and support our claims through world class and independent research.

SOS RESEARCH

Not many companies have been willing to independently test their product for fear of failure. SOS has since day one, not only followed proven rehydration guidelines but has put their latest product up for independent research. SOS Hydration Inc is a beverage company that relies on fact not marketing spin. Here are some of the studies into SOS so far.

Independent study into effectiveness of SOS in restoring hydration balance. Coventry University 2016 http://sosrehydrate.com/sos-tops-independent-research-trial-for-effective-hydration/
