Honestly liquid IV is not the superior hydration drink, all of the flavors taste awful and the hydration effect is nothing better than drinking water or a Gatorade, the hype behind liquid IV is so overrated

Water and creatine baby
I’m gonna disagree on the hydration aspect. The flavor is ass, but you can only make salt water taste like flavored salt water to an extent. I use it when dirt biking and man it’s nice. At a certain point Gatorade and water just doesn’t cut it, even after the 7th bottle
LMNT is the best, but for the prices these companies are charging for salty water, it’s WAY more cost-efficient to just make your own with Lite Salt, food grade epsom, and some flavoring
Opinion is good, reasoning is completely wrong.
I just want to jump in and complain about the name… ‘Liquid IV’? IVs are Liquid. Calling it a ‘liquid IV’ is repetitive. Why not call it ‘oral IV’ or something like that?
I’ve literally never even bothered considering buying ‘liquid IV’ simply because the name is so stupid.
I’ve never heard of this before. First I thought you were talking about Compound V and I would agree with you haha. But like the other dude said, IV is already a liquid.. why call it liquid IV. A bit redundant. And it’s not an IV..
I just hate that it has the fake sugar in it.
I think this about most of the hydration drink packets or liquids. They make anything they touch taste weird as hell and I just couldn’t get through them without wanting to puke. I didn’t know how to describe why I hated them to my partner until we had to get pedialyte for our dog. We got the no flavor version and he tried it and told me it tasted super weird. I took a sip and was exactly the same as trying to drink a Liquid IV. He understood why I can’t stand them after that, lol.
factually incorrect.
Here’s a solid test for you.
Go on a 94 degree 17 mile hike in the mountains with only water. Hike with someone who has Liquid IV.
If they don’t outpace you by too much they can notice you nearly on the verge of dying and administer ORS and save you.
I hate the name of it. Yes, its basically gatorade. Also its supposed to be like IV fluids but a liquid… but they’re already a liquid.
I agree it tastes like ass, however it really does work faster than something like a Gatorade.
