I love the new salted watermelon flavor! I’ve been using BBOS for many years now and it is much better than Liquid IV but doesn’t receive nearly the amount of recognition it deserves. Thanks, Doc! I appreciate our back-and-forth years ago and I continue to remain a proud supporter and brand promoter of your product.

BANANA BAGS ARE LIIIIIIIIIIIFE!!!
I HAVE NEVER COME ACROSS ANYTHING LIKE BANANA BAGS AND HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS OTHER REHYDRATION PRODUCTS. AND IF YOU ARE MORE DEHYDRATED THAN USUAL- DRINK ANOTHER ONE IN ABOUT 24HRS AND IT’LL FOR SURE FIX YA UP! I KEEP THESE IN MY HOUSE AT ALL TIMES, DEFINITELY GOOD FOR THE COLD/ SICK SEASON. I USED TO ORDER FROM AMAZON, BUT NOW ONLY THROUGH THE BANANA BAG SITE TO SHOW EXTRA SUPPORT OF THEM! 2 THUMBS UP DR DERY! FYI- SALTED WATERMELON IS THEEEE BEST FLAVOR!

Great for fatigue and post-heavy workouts!
All around great product for when I'm overworked, fatigued, dehydrated, or getting over a cold. This matched with a healthy lifestyle is well worth the money.

A “banana bag” originated in hospital settings as an intravenous solution of sodium/dextrose with a multivitamin injection that treats dehydration, exhaustion, restores B-vitamins, and boosts the immune system. The name "banana bag" was coined because the solution turns bright yellow when mixed with vitamins.
02 WHO NEEDS AN IV BANANA BAG?
If you are unconscious and/or unable to tolerate fluids by mouth and have a history of heavy alcohol use, gastric surgeries, chronic and acute conditions that cause fatigue, dizziness, a compromised immune system, poor B-vitamin absorption, and become severely dehydrated and exhausted, you need a Banana Bag.
03 WHY A BANANA BAG ORAL SOLUTION?
Two Reasons:
Not everyone needs a trip to the ER and a needle in their arm to treat dehydration and get vitamin therapies. For those who can still tolerate oral fluids, this is achieved with a strict powder formula to dissolve in a glass of water and drink instead. This saves money, time, resources, and gives the same therapeutic relief for many people as if it was delivered intravenously.
This fills a much-needed space at home or traveling when you need a prescription-strength remedy that’s proven, safe, clean of harmful ingredients and any unnecessary sugars, and hydrates and restores energy with therapeutic results second to getting an actual IV. READ MORE ABOUT THIS HERE.
04 YOU DON'T NEED IV-BAGS AND NEEDLES?
This takes more explaining. Not everyone needs to have IV therapy in common, day-to-day situations involving clinical dehydration and/or exhaustion. If you can still tolerate fluids to drink (and not unconscious), the use of oral rehydration fluids is first-line therapy. However, the trend has been the opposite and people are choosing IV therapy when it's not necessary.
If the formula of sodium and dextrose in an oral solution is controlled, meaning you keep a strict osmolarity range in the guts, water is absorbed very efficiently giving near or equal restoration of fluids in the same amount of time or less as administering an IV.
For B-vitamins, when using high doses of them correctly, meaning in the right delivery method, there are many people in which absorption into the bloodstream happens at a therapeutic level. For those with vitamin deficiencies being followed by an M.D., this should not replace any means of current treatment without consultation first.
05 HOW DO I TAKE IT?
One packet dissolved in 8-16oz of water, as needed for dehydration and/or exhaustion, once daily. Best tasting with colder water. Can also add your sweetener of choice or a splash of juice to mask the strong vitamin/electrolyte taste.
06 HOW MUCH SUGAR, CARBS, CALORIES?
There are 4g of dextrose, 4g of carbs, and about 15 calories.
07 ARE THERE ARTIFICIAL INGREDIENTS IN IT?
No artificial sweeteners. No preservatives. No dyes. No artificial flavors. No GMOs. No gluten. Vegan.
08 IS IT SAFE FOR DIABETICS?
4 grams of dextrose during a state of dehydration will be quickly utilized by the body and should not create any prolonged glucose spikes. However, for any medical conditions being followed by an M.D., please seek advice before using Banana Bag. Search our reviews section, and you can find successful testimonials from diabetic customers.
09 IS IT SAFE TO USE DURING PREGNANCY OR NURSING?
Banana Bag contains the same B-vitamins found in pre-natal but at equal or higher amounts. If choosing to use Banana Bag occasionally, please seek approval from the baby doc first.
10 IS THIS LIKE ALL OTHER ELECTROLYTE PACKETS?
No. In addition to sodium chloride and potassium, Banana Bag also has very high-dose B-vitamins and 750mg of vitamin-C. And not theamount of sugar found in most commonly used products.
11 IS THIS SAFE FOR EVERYONE?
Yes and no. Banana Bag Oral Solution is generally well tolerated with almost everyone ages 14 and up. However, if you are under the care of physicians for a chronic medical condition, then consult with them first if choosing to use this regularly.

I place banana bag in a 1 liter bottle of Evian. 4am drink half, go on long run and drink the other half afterwards. Like the orange flavor. Hot humid Florida days, keeping hydrated top of the list. Thank you Banana bag! I always order the 30 pack as needed. All the best everyone!
I ordered these after recently being diagnosed with POTS and I’m post gastric sleeve surgery 5 years ago so I don’t absorb vitamins like the normal person. I tried them after a day that I overdid myself. The next day I would normally be depleted but to my surprise I was not. I have been using them on my bad days since and feel better than I normally would. The company also doubled my first order of the trial pack which was a great surprise! Great company and I will continue to use and recommend to everyone!
As an RN I have administered this in IV form. This product can prevent Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome with excessive alcohol use. It is also great for dehydration. And as such is a must have for your survival pantry. When SHTF you may accidentally drink contaminated water causing diarrhea and dehydration and this stuff could be a life saver.
I get nauseous often from an eating disorder. This calms me and makes me feel ready to eat at least something small. It helps with stomach pain, hangovers, when sick, and helps with headaches. I love it. I wish the price was a bit lower though.
