ORS: The Science Behind Rapid Rehydration & Correct Usage Explained
•
ORS contains a precise mix of sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium citrate, and glucose, crucial for electrolyte balance.
•
It works via the sodium-glucose co-transport process, enabling rapid water absorption in the intestines to rehydrate the body.
