Liquid IV How Do I Implement

[Poppy]

We have gotten free samples of “liquid iv” and wife bought a small box of it.

How do you guys implement into your hydration?

I’ve never used it before. Probably need it beings I’m a sweat hog and we’re getting into the real humid part of the summer.

@Rusty @NeuroRN

I thought you guys have used this stuff.

I use a different product but I imagine it is the same I spike all my water with electrolytes even now especially since im training again its hot out and those essentials leave the body quickly.

 

[Poppy]

The version I’ve got has 11g of sugar carbs so I’m going to have to record and monitor it.

 

[Bigmurph6]

I use mio sport it has total sugars 0 which is really good

It does have Sucralose and Asesulfame potassium as sweeteners I don’t know if this is any better?

 

[Poppy]

For me it would be… sugars/carbs are no bueno in my world. I can live with the occasional chemical sweetener.

I ate a whole order of fries with my family dinner out last night. Carbs thru the roof… hahaha my version of partying hard!

 

[Poppy]

This will self destruct in an hour

Hahaha

Well that’s my world. Zero carbs and sugars.

I read where the diet guys to the pro BB’s will allow one diet soda pop a day… due to the zero everything and the “sweet” fix.

 

[Bigmurph6]

Can you use the mio with zero sugar or does the sweeteners mess it all up?

 

[NeuroRN]

I mix it in my gallon jug. Or in one of my 1.5L water bottles at work. It’s really a good idea to be adding some sort of electrolyte/ hydration amplifier in your daily fluid intake.

Nuun is another one.

There’s several different companies out there now.

Just shake it up and drink it!

I use two packets a day. First thing when I wake up and around lunch. I use a third if necessary if it’s super hot at work or using Helios.

I have also used Dr. Bergs. Order it direct from his Amazon store so you don’t get fake stuff. It’s packed with electrolytes and I believe no sugar. My kid don’t like it cause it has a sour taste so I just get liquid iv or else I would stock it.

Here is label @Poppy

 

[Poppy]

Nope, sweeteners doesn’t mess it up at all. I’ve lived on chemical sweetners so long now that when the restaurant brings me real dr pepper or cola it’s wow!

@Rusty @NeuroRN @Bigmurph

Thanks guys. I’m going to give it a go. Yard work today so it’s a good time to experiment.

 

[Bigmurph6]

I reccomend checking out mio sport brother its great and then also vita coco I believe has 1g of sugar which vita coco is the best hydration ive ever used

You can always add a little salt to your water too if you need more sodium

II take one first thing in the morning and post workout. Then take a protein shake. The spike helps process the protein from the shake

 

[Bigmurph6]

Gave you a VIP badge im not sure why you didn’t already have one brother

 

[Poppy]

I usually add a pinch more more salt meals in hot time of year.

Salt and vinegar chips too… one serving is 17 chips. I’ve know it by heart… getting old blows hahaha

 

[Poppy]

Liquid iv?
