Jeremy Adams was worried. His 1-year-old daughter had spiked a 105-degree fever in the middle of the night, prompting the 46-yearold entrepreneur to call urgent care. Their advice: Find an electrolyte solution, and fast.

"It had a lot of different artificial ingredients that I didn't feel comfortable giving my kids in their daily life," recalls the father of two, "and I certainly didn't want to give it to my 1-year-old when she was sick."
