What is Liquid IV?
Liquid IVis a powder supplement that promises to hydrate you 2-2.5 times faster than drinking H2O alonewithout overstimulating you.
Free of artificial dyes and sweeteners, Liquid IV is also vegan, non-GMO, and dairy-free.
Liquid IV Energy Multiplier also contains l-theanine and caffeine, just in smaller doses.
Although troublesome in high doses, caffeine and l-theanine can be helpful pick-me-ups before a workout, adds Culpepper.
Both caffeine and l-theanine are two great ingredients that support sustained energy in the body, says Culpepper.
I opted for Yuzu Pineapple, the latest flavor to join the Energy Multiplier roster.
I chose the Lemon Lime flavor, which tasted similar to a light margarita.
