Ö around the world: Ö ambassador reaches Peru’s Huascaran Mountain!

Our ambassador françois-guy thivierge at the peak of huascaran with Ö products!Our ambassador François-Guy Thivierge braved the famous peak of Mount Huascaran in Peru, towering at 6,768 meters, with Ö products by his side to provide all the essential vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes needed for his ascent. This experience stands out as one of the most challenging highlights in his ambitious project to climb 55 mountains in 55 months.Huascaran is the world’s highest tropical mountain range, known for its deep ravines, glacial lakes, and diverse vegetation, making it a stunning and dramatic landscape. "For me, this was one of the toughest of the 55 challenges. It requires several days of trekking at altitude, setting up camps, transporting food, and a lot of planning", shares François-Guy Thivierge.He adds that Ö products truly contributed to his successful ascent. In the mountains, climbers cannot carry bottled water due to weight, and the freezing would cause it to freeze too quickly. To stay hydrated, they melt and boil snow, which contains no minerals. Adding Ö products to the melted snow provides the vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes needed for high-altitude days! François-Guy chose the CHRÖNO flavor from the Ö Health Solution Sport line!

Tips, stats, games, and facts about water and kids

Ö has created a line of vitamin solutions specially formulated for kids. With no artificial coloring, flavors, or refined sugars, this children’s line makes it easier for parents to encourage hydration as a part of their child’s daily life. Did you know... Did you know that 61% of kids don’t drink enough water? In fact, 25% of children drink less than one glass of water per day, while they should be drinking up to 2 liters, depending on their age! Studies even show that children with parents who regularly drink water are 38% more likely to drink water too, whereas if parents drink soda, kids are 300% more likely to drink soda. That’s why it’s so important to set a good example! Did you know that, when accounting for body weight, children have a higher water requirement than adults? The importance of water for kids Water helps with concentration, focus, memory, and makes it easier to recall information. Drinking water is like a super vitamin for the brain! One study even found that cognitive flexibility improves when kids drink about 2.5 liters of water a day. This “cognitive flexibility” means that a child can multitask more easily—not perform a complex yoga pose! 😉 Water can be fun outside the pool or bath! Have you ever tried drinking a glass of water while taking a shower? Try it and challenge your siblings! Who will be the winner? Invent a word to remind yourself to drink water. Ö came up with “ÖUPLA” for one of our flavors, so you can create one too. If you have a headache or your eyes feel dry, it’s time to use your magic word! Get creative with flavors! Ö offers fun flavors, but you can add mint leaves, basil, lemon slices, raspberries, or bubbles. Have you noticed Ö’s vibrant colors? Can you guess how we made them? Try it yourself—what veggie do you think makes the red color? And what about the orange? To make sure you’re drinking enough, you could keep a hydration journal. Write down each glass, any flavor additions, and give it a rating. That way, you’ll quickly find your favorite Ö flavor and see if you’re drinking enough! Hydration: An essential part of nutrition for kids Hydration is essential for everyone, especially for children. It’s vital to ensure that young kids get enough water to support the benefits mentioned above. Establishing healthy eating habits should always include good hydration practices. In fact, Canada’s Food Guide has chosen water as its drink of choice! Plus, adequate water intake in children can help prevent excess weight, which is an added bonus! This is why Ö developed a line of vitamin solutions for kids over four years old. Our product is health-focused, containing no artificial colors, flavors, refined sugars, or preservatives. With vitamins B6, B12, C, E, and biotin, each has an important role to play in a child’s developing body! Tips for remembering to drink Start and end your day with a big glass of water. Make drinking water fun—add a flavor, infuse it with fruit, or add bubbles! Check the color of your urine! To see if you’ve had enough water, look at the color. The lighter it is, the better! Did you remember your reusable water bottle? Add a little ÖUPLA to make it fun and stay energized for hours of play! #kids #water #fun #stayhydrated #healthynutrition 1  https://www.hydrationforhealth.com/en/why-hydration/hydration-and-health/list-hydration-and-health/increased-water-intake-improves-cognitives-performance-children/

Why is a patented measuring spoon included in our health vitamin solution packets?

Innovation is at the heart of our core values This commitment drove us to think further. We wanted to make an extra effort to find a solution that would make it easier—and even more encouraging—for you to stay hydrated every day, especially when you’re on the go with your reusable water bottle.In the beginning, we knew we wanted to add a measuring spoon to the packet, but we didn’t have a specific idea. We explored multiple options: a spoon made from bamboo, recycled plastic, or any material aligned with our environmental values. Then, we had the idea of including a spoon that could measure the exact number of grams of Ö vitamin health solution to dissolve in 500 ml of water. After extensive research, we hadn’t found the ideal spoon. So, as we often do, we returned to the drawing board and began designing our very own measuring spoon that would meet Ö’s quality standards and values. The creation After several iterations, we arrived at the perfect version: an ergonomic, cardboard spoon designed to easily measure 4 g of vitamin health solution to dissolve in your water. Additionally, the spoon has a pour spout that simplifies adding the product to a reusable bottle. The final product Voilà! Each packet of Ö vitamin health solution includes a patented cardboard measuring spoon that makes it easy to measure the required amount of vitamin health solution for your refreshing drink. And because every detail was carefully thought out, once you finish your packet, you can place your patented cardboard spoon in the compost bin!Fun fact: the spoon is both designed and made in Quebec!
