Jelly Drops.

The blurb says:

‘Boost hydration through an irresistible sweet

Jelly Drops are an innovative sugar-free treat, made of 95% water with added electrolytes & vitamins, designed to increase fluid intake.

Popular with people with dementia, the elderly & others who struggle to stay hydrated.’

The website is:  https://www.jellydrops.com/

You can read all he details on the site, but these are the headlines as far as I understand it:

• These work alongside drinking, not instead of as a pack provides 50ml water.
• The company cannot recommend how many are eaten a day as they are classed as sweets but  it seems that there isn’t an upper limit. (That’s all covered on this page).  But on their subscription page they seem to suggest anywhere from 1.5 to six packs a day, and there are nine ‘sweets’ in each pack.
• They are not a cheap option.  You can get a free trial at the start of a subscription (which you can cancel at any time or you can order a stand alone box with either 21 or 42 packs.  Depending on the option chosen the packs can work out at anything from 95p to £1.15 each. So 1.5 packs is less than a cup of coffee, six packs would be closer to a glass of wine in a pub.
• They taste like raw jelly with a softer consistency.  They don’t need chewing.

Mum’s arrived this week and she seemed to like all the flavours we had.  We’ve agreed to aim to remind her to have a packet a day but having looked into the detail for this post, I think she probably needs more.  But we’ll see how it goes for now. 🙂

(PS:  I have no affiliation with this company so all links go direct to their site with no kickbacks to me!)
