Electrolyte powders are everywhere, so is Liquid IV good for you — and how does it compare to actual IV therapy? Here is an honest breakdown for travelers staying hydrated in Cabo San Lucas.
What electrolyte powders do
Powders like Liquid IV add sodium, potassium and sugar to water to help absorption. For everyday hydration they can be helpful.
They are convenient, but they still rely on your digestive system and contain sugar.
Pros and cons
Pros: convenient, portable and better than plain water for mild dehydration. Cons: sugar content, slower than IV, and not enough for severe dehydration.
For a casual top-up they are fine; for fast or serious rehydration they fall short.
When real IV therapy is better
If you are very dehydrated, hungover or sick, IV fluids work far faster by entering the bloodstream directly.
