frequently asked questions
HYDRATION MULTIPLIER
How does Liquid I.V. work?
Liquid I.V. is a Non-GMO electrolyte drink mix that utilizes breakthrough science of Cellular Transport Technology (CTT) to deliver hydration and other key nutrients into your bloodstream faster and more efficiently than water alone.
What is an Oral Rehydration Solution?
An Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) is a solution containing a specific ratio of electrolytes, glucose, and water that has been shown to hydrate better than water alone. With Oral Rehydration Solutions, more water is retained by the body and an active transport mechanism causes more water to be absorbed into the bloodstream faster than with water alone. Liquid I.V. meets all of the ORS standards set by UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO).
What’s in Liquid I.V.?
Liquid I.V. is a great tasting Non-GMO electrolyte drink mix that uses a specific ratio of sodium, glucose, and potassium to deliver water and other key nutrients directly to your bloodstream. Liquid I.V. contains 3x the electrolytes of traditional sports drinks with less than half the sugar and calories. It also contains 110% daily value of Vitamin C, Potassium, B3, B5, B6, B12.

Why does Liquid I.V. contain high levels of sodium?
Sodium is one of the key electrolytes utilized in Cellular Transport Technology (CTT). When combined with glucose and potassium, sodium enhances water absorption in the body.
Why does Liquid I.V. contain sugar?
Glucose (sugar) is one of the key components in the science behind Cellular Transport Technology (CTT). Liquid I.V. contains an optimal amount of sugar needed to help your body absorb water and electrolytes in the small intestine as quickly and efficiently as possible. This breakthrough hydration science depends on Non-GMO pure cane sugar strictly for function, not taste.
Is Liquid I.V. healthy?

Is Liquid I.V. an energy drink?
No. Liquid I.V. does not have any caffeine, however, it does contain B vitamins that are known to give the body a natural boost of energy.
PROPER HYDRATION
What causes dehydration?
Dehydration is the loss of water and salts essential for normal body function. Dehydration occurs when the body loses more water than it takes in. Basic daily activities like breathing and walking cause the body to excrete water and can lead to dehydration.
How can I tell if I’m dehydrated?
Approximately 75% of Americans experience daily dehydration. Dizziness, confusion, headaches, muscle fatigue, cramping, fainting, anxiousness, increased thirst, and decreased urine output are some of the symptoms of dehydration.

What is the importance of hydration?
The human body is comprised of roughly 60% water. Every single cell in the human body needs water to function. Losing just 2% of your body’s water can result in mild dehydration. Drinking water and replacing electrolytes serves a wide range of purposes in our bodies including removing waste through urine; controlling body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure; and maintaining a healthy metabolism.
Why can’t I just drink water?
Drinking water and staying properly hydrated might be one of the most crucial things you can do for your body. Liquid I.V. just makes the water you drink more efficient! If you find it difficult to drink enough water throughout the day, Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier (when mixed in water) can provide the same hydration as drinking 2-3 bottles of water… if not more.
Are there any drinks that dehydrate you?
Yes, beverages such as alcohol, coffee, soda, and even some juices can dehydrate the body even more.
What causes muscle cramping?
Dehydration, overuse of a muscle, muscle strain, or just holding a certain position for too long can result in cramping. A lack of electrolytes in the body like potassium, calcium and magnesium can result in cramping.
PROPER SLEEP
What causes sleeplessness?
Sleeplessness can be caused by a range of factors such as stress, caffeine consumption, trauma, restless leg syndrome, diet changes, depression, medication, late work shifts, seasonal changes, and environmental changes.
How much sleep should I get per night?
According to Sleep.org, the average adult needs between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per night. Any less than that can cause a “sleep deficit” and symptoms of sleep deprivation, such as fatigue, inability to concentrate, mood swings, inability to regulate emotion, depression, irritability, loss of mental acuity, and memory problems.
What are the side effects of sleep deprivation?
The side effects of sleep deprivation include fatigue, inability to concentrate, mood swings, inability to regulate emotion, depression, irritability, loss of mental acuity, and memory problems. Long-term, sleep deprivation can also cause severe health problems such as obesity, heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, and even stroke.
Why is sleep important?
Sleep is the time during which our bodies can restore themselves. Proper sleep allows the body to regenerate and refresh. Without proper sleep, we may experience fatigue, inability to concentrate, mood swings, inability to regulate emotion, depression, irritability, loss of mental acuity, and memory problems. We can also develop severe health problems such as obesity, heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, and even stroke. Getting the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep consistently can greatly increase the quality of your life.
How does sleep change as we age?
As we age, it generally becomes more and more difficult to fall asleep. Older people often experience much lighter sleep, which tends to be less restorative.

However, everyone’s taste buds are different, so how strong that taste is will depend on each person’s taste buds.
