NormaLyte quickly and effectively replenishes lost electrolytes and diminishes fluid loss caused by acute illnesses (diarrhea and vomiting) , heavy sweating due to heat and strenuous exercise, and chronic illnesses (POTS, Crohn's Disease, IBS, and others). 

How do I use NormaLyte?

Each stick-pack of NormaLyte should be mixed with 16.9 fl oz (500mL) of water. We suggest using cold water to optimize the flavor.

NormaLyte does not contain high calorie Sucrose or Fructose which is nonessential for absorption of Sodium.  This equals approximately 6.6g of carbohydrates.

Can NormaLyte reduce hospitalizations?

NormaLyte reduces hospitalizations

NormaLyte can reduce the occurrence of hospitalizations!  In fact, it reduces the need of IV therapy by 33% by using optimal concentrations of sodium and glucose.  Oral rehydration therapies are more efficient than IV at hydrating.


Let's chat about how NormaLyte is produced.

NormaLyte is manufactured in a WHO GMP (World Health Organization - Good Manufacturing Practices) certified facility under stringent Quality Control systems.  Every lot is tested for quality as per the USP (United States Pharmacopoeia) standards for the ORS monograph.  The ORS monograph is a very thorough outline and includes requirements on individual ingredients, labelling, and even how it's packaged.  It must be in an airtight container and avoid temperatures above 30°C (or 86°F)

 


Why is NormaLyte manufactured in India?

ORS is considered a pharmaceutical product in India.  In the USA, oral rehydration salts (ORS) are only considered a food product which opens it up to less standards.  Pharmaceutical products have to go through more stringent quality control than food products.
India is widely known for quality pharmaceuticals.  In fact, 30%-40% of generic pharmaceuticals sold in USA are manufactured in India. We regularly travel to India and perform in person audits of the manufacturing facility to make sure the quality systems are followed as required by law. Our manufacturing site is registered with the US FDA.
We stand by the quality of our product and take any quality issues very seriously.

What is Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a form of dysautonomia that disrupts blood flow, causing symptoms like dizziness, rapid heart rate, fainting, fatigue, brain fog, and poor temperature regulation—often mistaken for anxiety.

How Normalyte Helps:

Dehydration can worsen POTS symptoms. Normalyte’s medical-grade Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) are designed to restore hydration and balance electrolytes, helping reduce lightheadedness and fatigue.

Just what I needed

I like the convenience of the capsules. I can get my sodium in all at once and early in the morning without having to drink a bunch of water plus a hydration pack to feel well. I’ve read some reviews that say these are horse pills, but they are absolutely not. They are smaller than my other supplements and I can take two at a time. I do need to take them with something in my stomach. Plus, the price is so much better than hydration packs from other brands.

My Daughter finds these Helpful

I have these on auto-ship for my daughter - She finds them very helpful. The last two deliveries had a few broken capsules - which make it a little messy. Probably just a fluke...
