![]() ![]() Regular, healthy people should not have a need for a formulation made for those with severe dehydration or illness. Liquid IV doesn’t publish any, so we find the entire premise behind their company to be highly questionable. Liquid IV then links to a medical study from 1994 proving that ORS was effective for patients with cholera.įor individuals without cholera or severe diarrhea, we haven’t come across any medical evidence at all suggesting benefits of ORS. Liquid IV’s formulation is rooted in a solution created to rapidly rehydrate patients with severe dehydration, usually caused by diarrhea, in impoverished countries called Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS). There is no way to “multiply” hydration, and not even an explanation of what that would entail on Liquid IV’s site it’s pseudoscientific marketing babble. Hydration is simply the process of drinking water, or consuming water - containing foods like fresh fruit, to replace that lost during the day and maintain proper biological function. To understand why Liquid IV’s claim of hydration multiplication makes no sense, we have to first overview what hydration is. Liquid IV claims that their product(s) can provide "faster hydration than water alone" and that one stick "can provide 2-3x the hydration of water alone." We'll compare Liquid IV to Pedialyte, and share a price breakdown detailing which retailer currently has the best price on Liquid IV. In this article we’ll answer all of these questions and more as we review the hydration multiplier claims based on medical research, analyze every ingredient in Liquid IV to give our take on whether the product is healthy or not, and also review the ingredients in Liquid IV Energy and Liquid IV Sleep. Liquid IV is an electrolyte powder company that makes a strange claim that their products "multiply hydration." The brand claims that one stick of Liquid IV has "3x the electrolytes of traditional sports drinks."īut are Liquid IV's strange health claims backed by legitimate scientific research? Do regular consumers even need "hydration multipliers"? Does Liquid IV contain any unhealthy ingredients? And how do real users rate its taste and effects?
