Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier
by Liquid I.V.
"Hydrate 2x faster with Cellular Transport Technology — 3x the electrolytes of sports drinks"
Overview
Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier uses Cellular Transport Technology (CTT) — an optimized ratio of sodium, potassium, and glucose that leverages the sodium-glucose co-transport system to enhance water absorption. Each stick pack provides 500mg sodium, 370mg potassium, and 11g of sugar (necessary for the co-transport mechanism). Liquid I.V. claims to hydrate 2-3x faster than water alone.

Our Verdict
Liquid I.V. is the most popular hydration mix on Amazon for a reason — the sodium-glucose co-transport science is real, and the flavors are genuinely good. The sugar is intentional and necessary for the absorption mechanism. Use it for targeted rehydration, not as a daily water replacement.
