WHAT IS A “BANANA BAG”?

It is the vernacular term among doctors and nurses for the intravenous formula most commonly administered to dehydrated, vitamin-deficient patients in the ER. This clear IV solution turns "banana" colored once we infuse vitamins into the bag just prior to administration. The Banana Bag's purpose is to restore the body with water, electrolytes, and critical vitamins.

DOES IT TASTE LIKE A BANANA?

Not at all. The original solution has a slight lemon/lime flavor. Our new Pediatric option tastes much better, with an organic orange/tangerine-like flavor. I did not want to candy coat this hospital grade product with unnecessary sugars and sweeteners. Our Oral Solution is a powerful re-hydrating formula containing salts, vitamins, and only a small amount of sugar (dextrose)... nothing else. This product is built to work as efficiently as possible to give IV-type relief to people who need results.

WHAT IS THE FORMULA DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE IV BANANA BAG AND YOUR BANANA BAG ORAL SOLUTION?

The amounts of sodium and dextrose in an IV solution are too concentrated to be taken by mouth. So, the Banana Bag Oral Solution is designed to have a sodium to dextrose ratio optimized for absorption of water and electrolytes, following the new guidelines by the World Health Organization. Also, we had to increase the vitamin contents and change a couple of them (B12 & folic acid) to their active metabolites to ensure that a sufficient amount is absorbed through the GI tract and already in their active state. We added a very small amount of organic flavoring which is carried in the organic dextrose. With that said, the fundamentals of hydration, extra thiamine, extra folic acid, and nutrient supplementation are the same in the intravenous and the powder packet. Plus, 100% of the ingredients in the oral solution are utilized by the body. There is nothing in this formulation that is unnatural to your body, unlike the IV multivitamin, which contains polyethylene glycol, and preservatives.

WHAT IS THE IDEAL DOSAGE?

One packet. Once daily. 240 - 500 ml (8 - 16 oz) of water. If you're into osmolarity for maximum electrolyte/h2o absorption (in cases of severe dehydration), the ideal range is found closer to 240 ml (8 oz) of water. If you want to dissolve it in a liter of water and nurse it over several hours, that is perfectly natural (the majority of us do not drink enough water on a daily basis anyway), and we highly recommend that.
