Coronavirus Dehydration Concerns Addressed via Substantial 'SOS Hydration' Donation Targeted to Health Workers & Test-Positive Patients in Hard Hit States

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Amid escalating concerns about derivative health implications of COVID-19 and influenza illnesses in general—with dehydration paramount among the more ubiquitous health concerns as detailed in a multitude of reports—SOS Hydration (www.SOSHydration.com) is leading the dehydration-focused donation charge to aid healthcare workers and affected families in hard hit states. This as the company today announced that, through its partnership with the Global Empowerment Mission/#BStrong non-profit disaster relief organization, it has commenced donations starting with 20,000 packs of its research-backed and independently tested hydration drink mix as an easy-access/use dehydration avoidance and treatment/recovery solution.

According to board-certified internist Dr. Blanca Lizaola-Mayo, SOS Hydration—a pleasant-tasting, hydration-accelerating drink mix engineered to combat mild to moderate dehydration—can help people fight an infection and recover faster since if proffers hydration equivalent to an I.V. drip, helping the body rehydrate three-times faster than by drinking water alone.  

"One of the main effects of viral infections is dehydration, which the body combats by increasing its temperature, often causing fever; this means that you lose more water through skin evaporation and even breathing," cautions Dr. Lizaola-Mayo, who co-founded SOS Hydration. "Viruses can also make you lose your appetite (another hydration source) and some may even cause diarrhea, vomiting or both. One of the best natural ways to combat viral illness and expedite recovery is through proper hydration, by drinking plenty of fluids. Hydration acceleration solutions like SOS Hydration—often tapped for exercise, travel, imbibing and other lifestyle-induced dehydration—can be a powerful recovery assist for viral infections and infectious respiratory illnesses like influenza ('the flu') and COVID-19. And, it can be used without causing gastrointestinal distress."

"Because SOS has less sugar, the packs are considerably smaller and more compact than other so-called rehydration solutions on the market, so health organizations can more readily stockpile—plus they're more cost effective," added SOS Hydration co-founder James Mayo. "Dehydration should not be underestimated, especially when one considers that health workers and other front-line, response-team personnel wearing hazmat suits will, ironically, likely become dehydrated—a condition that can debilitate the human body and mind in a multitude of ways."
