what's up ladies and gentlemen this is
0:01
David Benjamin from Rockstar reviews
0:02
today I'm going to be reviewing liquid
0:04
IV now this is a popular IV drink mix
0:07
for electrolytes and giving your body
0:09
electrolytes but there's a sneaky little
0:10
secret that you should know and there's
0:12
probably a reason why if you look at all
0:14
of these electrolytes this one is on
0:16
sale across the board there's a reason
0:18
for that so let's take a look and deep
0:22
ingredients okay so now we're taking a
0:24
look at the actual ingredients now
0:25
what's interesting about liquid IV in
0:27
particular is they have this flap
0:30
covering their ingredients and I think
0:31
it was done intentionally because it
0:34
goes to distributed buy and it covers
0:37
all of their ingredients quite
0:38
conveniently which is kind of funny but
0:40
when you move that flap up you'll read
0:43
the horrendous ingredients in this uh
0:46
quote unquote electrolyte hydration
0:47
formula so let's go through them number
0:48
one cane sugar now before I read this to
0:50
you keep in mind that the ingredients
0:52
the higher they are on the list the
0:53
higher they are in the formula so cane
0:55
sugar being number one this is literally
0:57
sugar in a packet for $2.50 a packet
1:01
mainly sugar so it's sugar dextrose
1:04
which is dried from wheat or corn so
1:06
genetically modified citric acid which
1:08
is a mold derived genetically modified
1:11
ingredient salt and no particular type
1:14
of salt that could be iodized bleach
1:16
table salt for all we know and then the
1:18
cheapest forms of minerals the citrates
1:21
silicon dioxide which is an anti-caking
1:24
agent and then Stevia which I'm sure
1:27
their Stevia quality is low considering
1:29
their other ingredient vitamin C absorb
1:31
acid which is a synthetic vitamin C
1:34
natural flavors uh some other synthetic
1:37
vitamins and uh synthetic B12 so this
1:42
this product is horrible it's literally
1:44
in my opinion the worst electrolyte on
1:45
the market which is why they're all on
1:47
sale I think they should go out of
1:48
business so I'm hoping this video
1:50
educates enough people and you pay
1:52
attention to your ingredients right like
1:54
these are all a lot of them are crap and
1:56
most of the ingredients at Whole Foods
1:58
are crap now unfortunately but I don't
2:00
recommend these I'll put a link below to
2:01
the electrolytes that I use I use an
2:03
electrolyte from a company called paleo
2:04
Valley and I also use a kma salt which
2:07
is free of or it's the lowest heavy
2:09
metal salt and micro plastic free salt
2:11
in the world so those are two comparable
2:14
options that you can use that are going
2:16
to be similar in price I mean this is
2:18
$2.50 a packet that's super
2:21
expensive and you're buying literal crap
2:24
it does nothing for your hydration so
2:26
check out the links below I'll also put
2:27
a link below to 20 different health and
2:30
wellness brands that I personally use
2:32
with discount codes I vet these products
2:34
and do this for a living so check out
2:35
that link below and I'll see you in the
