Jelly Drops

Purpose

Drinking enough water can be difficult with FOP. From inaccessible cups, to jaw issues, to concerns about needing to go to the bathroom, staying hydrated is a challenge for the community. Dehydration is very dangerous and can led to illness and even hospitalization for older adults. Jelly Drops are an innovative sugar-free treat, made of 95% water with added electrolytes & vitamins, designed to increase fluid intake. One of these servings contains 1.67 oz of water. They are a jello like consistency with smush easy and do not require much jaw movement to chew. They do not stick to teeth and are not sticky.

They were invented  in the UK by Lewis Hornby, who was inspired by his late grandmother and her love for sweets. Lewis developed bright, raindrop-shaped sweets as an easy way to increase her daily water intake. Lewis and his Jelly Drops team have worked alongside people with dementia, doctors and dementia psychologists to develop their product and were supported by the Alzheimer’s Society. Originally designed for those with memory issues, Jelly Drops can support anyone who struggles with water intake.
