Left unchecked, dehydration can bring on weakness, fainting episodes, and falls — and the hospital stays that often follow.

A hypotonic oral rehydration solution in single-serve stick packs, made for the acute episodes that put older adults at risk — illness, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and reduced intake.
Every ingredient earns its place — formulated for the sensitivities of older adults, and gentle enough for any adult 18 and over.
Formulated to support efficient fluid and electrolyte absorption.
Most rehydration drinks rely on a single, sugar-powered route to move fluid across the gut. Noria opens several routes at once — so it keeps working even when illness stalls the usual one.
Kept deliberately more dilute than blood, so fluid is drawn into the body rather than pulled into the gut — the opposite of what concentrated sports drinks tend to do.
Dosed for the medication profiles and sensitivities common in older adults — which also makes it suitable and gentle for any adult 18 and over.
Built to be easy on the stomach during illness, using gentler ingredient forms throughout and supporting the gut's own recovery rather than masking symptoms.
Designed around the medications, kidney function, and intake patterns common after 65 — made to be used alongside polypharmacy and common comorbidities.
Most popular electrolyte and rehydration drinks lean on large amounts of sodium — and sugar — to force water across a single, sugar-powered absorption pathway. For an athlete, that load is fine. For older adults, many of whom are managing blood pressure, heart, or kidney conditions, it's a concern.
Noria takes a different route. It opens several absorption doorways at once — the sugar-powered pathway plus separate amino-acid pathways — so it's designed to move water effectively at a sodium level tuned for older adults, instead of overloading them to compensate for a single route.
Sodium carries glucose and amino acids across the gut wall through several pathways at once — and water follows the salt into the bloodstream. More open doorways means more water absorbed from less sodium.
Replacing fluid and electrolytes lost to a stomach bug or infection.
Restoring what the body loses when it runs hot.
Supporting hydration when appetite and thirst drop off.
Rebuilding hydration and gut health as someone gets back on their feet.
Helping the gut settle back into a normal rhythm.
A simple, palatable way to keep low-thirst or frail patients hydrated.
Built by an emergency and long-term care physician around the realities of older bodies.
Several absorption routes at once, so it keeps working when illness stalls the usual one.
Effective rehydration without the heavy sodium load of athlete-focused drinks.
Helps the gut repair and return to a normal rhythm after illness or antibiotics.
Easy on an unwell stomach, formulated to draw water in rather than out.
Made to sit alongside the medications and comorbidities common after 65.
Single-serve, shelf-stable, no refrigeration, and simple for a caregiver to prepare.
Built by a physician with direct emergency and long-term care experience.
