Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier review

Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier is the best-known stick on the shelf, and its strength is choice: the product page lists more than 20 flavors plus a sugar-free line from $21.84. Liquid I.V. says each stick has 3x the electrolytes of the leading sports drink and 8 vitamins and nutrients, mixed with 16 oz of water. The ingredient list starts with cane sugar and dextrose, followed by salt, potassium citrate and sodium citrate, so it is a sugar-based formula. A 16-stick pouch costs $24.99 one-time, $1.56 a stick, and a subscription cuts that by 30% to $17.49. Shipping is free over $40. For athletes the case is weaker: it is the most expensive verified price on this list, the page does not state sodium or sugar per stick in plain text, and it has no sport certification.
