Reviewing Liquid IV for Hydration

I have had some health issues for a very long time that result in pain, lethargy, and dehydration. I recently received advice to use Liquid IV for rehydration. I reluctantly agreed despite my reservations about trying yet one more chemical concoction that doesn't work. However, I have found that this drink powder added to 16 ounces of water makes me feel significantly better. 



What am I talking about?  What is a hydration drink? I was very skeptical when my new doctor suggested that I give this over-the-counter powder a try. I almost didn't make the purchase. After all, drinks such as Pedialyte and Gatorade never seemed to make a difference in how I felt. And things that previous doctors have suggested have had side effects; more problem than cure. But this new doctor seemed to take a new holistic approach and I decided to give it a try.

I am NOT a doctor. And I am not passing on my experience as medical advice. If you aren't feeling well please consult your doctor. This is not a medical review as Liquid IV is a drink powder - not a medical intervention. This is not a pharmaceutical.

Liquid IV Hydration Multiplier

Liquid IV Hydration Multiplier is a flavored powder that is non-GMO, great tasting, drink mix that when added to water delivers "hydration to the bloodstream faster and more efficiently than water alone". 

  • contains 3x the electrolytes of traditional sports drinks
  • 5 essential vitamins (B3, B5, B6, B12, and Vitamin C)
  • uses Cellular Transport Technology (CTT) to hydrate faster than water alone
  • no artificial flavors
  • great taste
Reviews are positive and people who recommend Liquid IV are athletes, people who work outdoors in the heat, and people like me. At the time of this writing, there are over 31,000 reviews and 4.7 out of 5 stars on Amazon for the strawberry flavor (there are several flavors to choose from - I prefer the strawberry).

One bit of information of interest about the company itself is that they report their mission is to "Change the World by helping people everywhere live better lives." They report working with a variety of organizations and individuals to get Liquid IV "into the hands of millions of people".  I have not researched and am unable to confirm that this occurs. But if it does, that is a wonderful thing. 

My Personal Hydration


No matter how much water I drink, and I drink quite a bit every day, I struggle with dehydration. And we know that hydration is important for the human body.

"Your body needs to be hydrated to function at its best. If there isn't enough liquid in your body, essential functions like circulation don't perform as smoothly and your organs won't get necessary nutrients, resulting in less efficient performance" - Texas Health and Human Services

 

Liquid IV is helping me to feel better and to function better. I keep some handy for daily use, travel, and days that I'm working here on the homestead and exerting myself more than usual.

  1. As an electrolyte replacement and essential vitamins drink, Liquid IV sounds like a definite asset as a hydration drink. Thanks for this interesting review, Dawn Rae. Glad to hear it is working so well for you.

  2. People who follow a very low carb or ketogenic diet also often need electrolyte supplementation, and my husband and I have been drinking water mixed with flavored LMNT electrolyte powder for years. We,too, are big water drinkers and find that, even so, the electrolyte drink makes a positive difference in how we feel. If one of us were dehydrated due the illness, as you have been, were athletes or worked in the heat, I would definitely want to try the more heavy-duty Liquid IV Hydration Multiplier. Thanks so much for the introduction to and recommendation of this excellent product!

  5. Thank you for this recommendation! We take bottled water with us everywhere we go. We may well need to give Liquid IV a try ourselves. I do like flavored powder in my water. Next time I order a "unnamed" flavored water powder, I will order the Liquid IV and give it a try instead.

  6. Wow Dawn! this is something that I will definitely look into getting for myself. Hydration is something I struggle with, I don't like water as it is and have trouble getting the amounts I need into my system. Thank you for pointing me in this direction.
