The CLEAR Winner: LMNT v Liquid IV

[zacharymiller]

I see what you’re saying about the sugar. But these are meant for intense athletes and sugar is really healthy for athletes during an intense workout. It’s a fast acting carbohydrate that’ll give you energy. For health I could see your argument, but for intense athletes, I don’t think that 11g of sugar is necessarily “bad” for you. I do prefer LMNT but not because of sugar

Hi, not sure if you knew about the Sugar-Free Liquid IV electrolyte mix that is selling at Costco ? Given there is no sugar how does that compare to LMNT ? Thanks :)

[Tricia.Changes_]

Why didn’t you compare the sugar-free Liquid I.V.? The LMNT is sugar-free and has stevia.

If drinking everyday casually, I totally understand the sugar concern. However, if you are using it during extreme workouts, having a small amount of sugar to add some fast acting carbs is actually a benefit.

If I took a multivitamin and salt capsule, isn’t that the same thing as a $3 per serving liq iv?

[bruhmoment]

Bad take, and if sugar is that big of a deal liquid IV offers a sugar-free version. But the thing is Liquid IV is meant for people who are active and athletes to replenish depleted electrolytes so 11g of sugar isn't a big deal whatsoever.

Great review! Thank you for providing the details

You do know that sugar is what powers every cell in your body, right?

Why are we freaking out about sugar? If I'm running or on a hike, sugar helps. 45 calories is also still significantly below Gatorade and the like.

Thanks for the warning ! Had no idea LIV had that much sugar in it.
I'll stick with LMNT

[majicogarcia]

LMNT is running a great racket. $2 per tablespoon of powder containing nothing but synthetic stevia, salt and a couple of particles of magnesium.😃👍

[ThunderPawsBPs]

So your body does not need sugar? Or is the sugar in liquid IV part of a balanced nutritional product. Honest question. I don’t see the harm in a little sugar when hydrating.

It’s so difficult to avoid sugar in the American diet, it’s in everything

[ScottHilt]

The first 2 ingredients of Liquid IV are sugar and that's a not go for me. LMNT sticks to their mission and has salt as their first ingredient. That's what I'm looking for. It's LMNT for me.

[ronviper]

Not a fair comparison since Liquid IV has a sugar free product.

[Gotta-love-Elon]

Dr. Eric Berg electrolytes has 1000mg of potassium. Just saying!

[bosshogg]

LMNT has Stevia. Some not so good stuff is coming out about Stevia.

[AnimusZen]

Both are terrible in terms of overall health, albeit for opposing reasons.

[Gloomwithaview]

I know exactly. I dont know why people rave about this overpriced crap. Just go get a cheap sports drink if your going to drink Liquid IV
