About this product

Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier Lemon Lime is an electrolyte drink mix sold in the United States as a carton of ten 16 g stick packs, 160 g net.[2][1] One stick is mixed into 16 oz of water; the powder combines cane sugar and dextrose with salt, potassium and sodium citrates and dipotassium phosphate, is partly sweetened with stevia leaf extract and adds vitamin C and four B vitamins.[2] The carton names The LIV Group Inc. of El Segundo, California, as distributor and reads "Product of Canada".[2] Liquid I.V. has belonged to Unilever since October 2020, and Unilever describes it as the number one powdered hydration brand in America.[3][4]

The current carton prints 50 calories and 560 mg sodium per stick. An earlier design with the "Powered by CTT" tagline, photographed in 2021 and 2023, printed 45 calories and 500 mg sodium per stick and began its ingredient list with "Pure Cane Sugar"; the 2023 USDA Branded Foods record carries those earlier figures.[5][6] Unilever agreed to buy the El Segundo company in September 2020, with founder Brandin Cohen staying on, and in 2024 announced an investment of more than $80 million to produce Liquid I.V. at its Jefferson City, Missouri, factory.[3][4]
