Does Liquid IV Actually Hydrate You?

Does Liquid IV actually work? Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. One second. Getting a phone call. Hello? Who is it? Yeah, it's Link. Oh. Oh. It's boopity boop boop. Research. And they're asking us to investigate if those trendy. products that claim to provide extra mega hydration,

like Liquid IV actually do what they say they do? Well, how would we do that? Uh, he's asking how would we do that? Really, you sure? Okay. He's saying, by comparing our pee colors to that. of our employees. Are you serious? He said he's serious.

It's time for getting hydrated with the homies. The ultimate hydration product test. Welcome to the hydration station zone. Yeah. We are each gonna be testing a different form of. Uh, hydration. Liquid Hy-- iv. The Liquid IV stuff, you know, we've each got our powders. of fast hydration or electrolytes that we're going to be seeing. if it changes the color of our pee. Now I'll go ahead and say, you're not gonna.

see us pee on camera. We've already done it. You're not going to see. our pee or anybody's pee, but we've learned our lesson. Uh, we don't put pee on YouTube directly. Okay. So here's what we've done, in order to control this. experiment as much as possible, for the past 15. hours, we have only consumed the exact same things and. they've been very dehydrating. We had the same dehydrating dinner and. That was a big sub. That was so big.

I mean, chip, it was so big. It's so good though. Yeah, and, and then this morning we had just. cereal and coffee and only 12 ounces of water. So you guys feeling dehydrated a little bit? Yeah. I felt like my skin was dry this morning. Right when we got in here, we all peed together. looking at each other. No, we didn't. We individually peed into little cups that. are in here, okay? And we're going to be using these tests, these very. scientific, they are indeed scientific urine specific.

gravity test strips, which will test the concentration. of our urine, which is a scientific measure. of how hydrated we are. Okay? So let's go ahead and take these out. You could pee directly on it, but we already have this pee. Now we're gonna dip it the same time. Rhett, I'm gonna open your box. Which side do we put on? I think. Put the, I'm guessing the bo, the top. The top. You touch with your fingers to the bottom. You put down. Oh, that makes sense. Here we go. Oh my God. Oh, I'm looking at yours, good god. Look at it. Why did you fill it to the brim?

I overflow. Oh, it stinks. It stink. Okay. 3, 2, 1. Dip dip. 1002, 1000. I got so many more bubbles than y'all. Okay. All right. Yeah, you've gotta, is it done? Okay. It's just two seconds. Take it out. Link went for five seconds. Cover, cover, whatever that means. Duck and cover. He didn't listen. And then I'm gonna put, I'm gonna, I'm gonna. put it out here on that.

Now we're going to individually look at. our pee really closely. Okay? What if, this is how we discover that we have. kidney dysfunction. I know. And we're gonna try to match, match the. color of what we see. This is my strip. See? So this is, oh, do you see. This is how, this is what mine looks like. That's pretty yeller, man. I think. I think I'm lighter than you. Re Oh.

I didn't glance over. Is this a competition? Uh, I, I, I, I think so. I, oh, I thought I had the darkest pee. Oh my goodness. I was hoping I would, I, I don't know y'all. I feel dehydrated, but I'm thinking, I'm on the, I'm on the lighter side. I'm from brag. Well. Hold on. Don't tell her Yeah, you are. Don't break the bad news. You are pretty hydrated. No, just, just do your thing. What do you mean don't tell her? She's like fully hydrated. Like I think I'm like she's over hydrated, but.

that I think maybe that's bad is what I'm hearing. I'm slightly further than like, but not. as light as Stevie. Alright. Yeah, we're kind of flying like a flock. of geese up there. I am pretty light. Look. Oh, are you? He's still geese in it. It's because he's dehydrated. Hey. Yeah. Chase geese it. You geese it. Thank you. Thank you. Wow. You geese. It. We're okay. We're, we're plotting it. Yep. Now let's look at the scientific strip and.

see if it matches with our, our eyeball test. There's a little bit of pee. Oh no. I'm gonna use this instead because I. don't wanna touch that. I meant like. 1000. 1001 point you mean? Oh, one point here. Look you, I got this bigger one link if you need it. Oh boy. I'm 1.018. I'm like right in here.

Yeah, I think I'm just above you. I'm like just into the optimal hydration zone. I am 1.025. Really? I think so. Yeah. I mean, I'm probably somewhere between 0.02 and. But in 0.025. But you're darker than me. See? Yeah. You're, you're closer, darker. Yeah. So link is 1.025 and I am, I'm borderline dehydration. and significant de significant dehydration. Link is officially significantly dehydrated.

and it's 'cause I'm used to drinking so much water. that when you took it away, I think my body was just. like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. This is not, this is not our mo. I don't know what happened to me. You're a lot dehy. You're a lot hydrated. I know. Yeah. You're all the way, you're over hydrated. I'm like borderline. I'm at the top too hydrated. Yeah, I'm at the top. I'm, I might be too. What's wrong with me? You need to eat more out. You got too much. You're almost in the over hydration. I'm almost, what does that mean? I'm on the line probably. I might. You might be like a camel.

Oh, you might have. I've been wandering, yeah. Yeah. And Emily, is your checkout and wandering? I think I'm severely dehydrated. Is that true? Really? Oh yeah. Oh wow. Alright, so everybody else pretty much checked. out except for Emily, who is being told that she's. a lot more dehydrated than the color of her pee. suggests I'm gonna die. Okay. So we kind of, I mean, we could throw those away. Yeah, let's throw 'em away. You kind of remember what your number was. and where you were at? Yeah, yeah.

'cause it's, well, it's not that. It's What was on this? Oh, we have our own, I'm off the charts baby. We have girls only trashcan. Oh, thank you. Okay. And now we're gonna actually look at the products that. each one of us will be taking, starting with Chase. Alright. All right. So this is noon. Uh, or noon? None. None, none. Uh, but you're getting some hydration. It's. 54 cents per serving. It's the cheapest option. Uh, and there's five essential electrolytes.

And this is the lime flavor. And it says that some of them have caffeine, but this one doesn't. Doesn't caffeine dehydrate you though? Yes. Yeah, it does. Okay. Doesn't have it. I've got moon juice. Oh, I like that name. This is like middle of the road, uh, price. Uh, it is, uh, watermelon flavored. I'm supposed to take one scoop of this. Yeah, you got less water than me, which I wonder.

if that just helps. I've got, yeah, you're gonna get more hydrated. Drip drop. Drip drop. And I've got the strawberry lemonade flavor here. I try to take these when I go mountain biking. This exact one. Um, no, I use a different one, but I might switch. based on the results today. Okay. I have Liquid iv, which I think is the one that. most people have heard of. They do the most advertising.

I have had Liquid IV before. Mm-hmm. It is the most expensive, a dollar 75 per serving. Oh. Uh, but anyway, this is the, you gotta pay for. that marketing time. All right. Passion, fruit flavor, and I got. It's a Gatorade Gator light. Yeah, Gatorade Rapid rehydration. Um, and I got a watermelon flavor too, which I don't. mind that people like to do watermelon flavors when. they're hydrating you. That makes sense. Uh, I'm more of a lemon lime guy. Still dissolving.

Okay, well mine's dissolved. I'm gonna chug it. Do we do it all in one chug the rules. I'm gonna try to, I mean, I'm sure you would. I'll, I'll start chugging as soon as I can. now. Mine. Mine tastes good. It is not too salty. I typically expect a saltiness to it. Mine tastes like a, a watermelon that you put salt. on, which I do recommend doing, which is fine. That's a very southern thing to do.

Yes. Okay. All right. Mine's fine. It's it. Let's go. It tastes salty, but it's like. I tried to give my mom liquid IV once and she. acted like it was the worst. Like, she, like moms, moms hate Liquid iv. I don't know what it is. You can't, you can't judge all moms uncomfortable. just by your mom? Uh, I've, I've tried it on a couple moms. Oh, really? Yeah. I don't think that just drinking eight. ounces of water. With the electrolytic powder in it is gonna.

make me un hydrated. I need, I think I need more water. Un hydrated. You need to figure out what we're doing here. I'm afraid I'm gonna wind up more hydrated off. the the fricking thing. Where do I go from here? You end up in space, right? Right into the toilet. Look at that. Look at that. And now I can drink. That's the effort. I do have to pee a little bit. And you drink all yours, Emma Uhhuh. Sorry. You breathe through your nose. Oh, a little trick I learned from something.

All right. And drink through your mouth from something. Oh, he did it. I did it. Now we're gonna wait until, um, you know, our body. does its processing and we will see what color our. peas are and we're back. It's been how long? An hour. About an hour, and we have peed again in these boxes. We can do it. Take it out. Well, we didn't pee in the box. We peed in a container that's inside of the box.

Yes. Uh, and we're gonna get in to see just how well. hydrated we have become. But first, we wanna remind you, sport is. going live tonight. Tune to the Sport YouTube page tonight at 5:00 PM. Pacific for a live taste. Testa hon. Multiple taste tests, live challenges. Live guess live. Subscribe now. So try it now so you don't miss it. Yeah. Alright. Shall we? I am hoping that Emily has made some changes.

I hope I've made some progress. You need, you were. You were so. Are you serious? Oh [bleep]. Are you serious? What? My knee. What the crap! Are you joking? Are you joking? It's fake, man, it's fake, it's just food coloring. Can you even taste? I mean, taste. What? Can you even test your piss now?

It's fake, man. What? It's fake. It's just a little prank. This isn't my real pee, Lucas gave me this. Now my real pee comes in. Well, I spilled my real piss. Look, you got yours. I mean, you did a good job of getting me. right on the knee. It's in the box, still. If you watch it back, it's so obvious. You were, Are you serious? Oh my God. I was so mad. Anywhere.

It's on my elbow and my knee, and I was so mad. My heart rate went from 72 to 157. Okay, three. All right, here we go. Two one dip. 1002, 1000. Pull out. Smells like pee in here. I, well, sorry, yours is still dark. I can tell you right now. Look at mine. Yours lightened up. What? Mine. Mine changed a lot, I think. Alright, so you go first. Chase is really lightened up.

Yeah, mine. Let's, let's see. Let's see how much you moved, right? Oh God. Okay. I'm gonna keep mine on the floor, so there's, sorry, I still don't trust you. I ran my instincts for too much. I got you. Nobody knew except me and Carney and Lucas and Slaine, and some other people. Okay. All right. Um. I, I mean, I saw his and it did not move that much.

Yeah, guys, I, I don't know how, but mine is. significantly lighter. I guess I got the good stuff with that drip drop. because mine is like. Wow. Chin over me. Wow. I've moved all the way over there. I think I'm lighter than s Stevie A. In a Stevie a. Yeah. Okay. Off the charts. Wow. Yeah. That is insane. Yeah. That's impressive. Good job, Stevie.

Congratulations. I, I think that in the comments they're gonna tell. me what's wrong with me, but. Yeah. Yeah. You just, you just had a lot of, uh, water. in there already. Alright, Emily, I hope you've made a change. I, I think I've just got a little bit, a little bit. further ahead of myself. Alright. Did you move much? Yeah, I'd say I'm right next to it. You didn't move much. Yeah. I'd say it's more of a, it's more of the same. Yeah. There we go. Okay. And I like that. Perfect. It was perfect because it was like, defeated, defeated.

Oh, that's nice. He's moving. That's nice. Yeah, he's moving. I shifted a lot. It's funny 'cause it's definitely reflected in. the science over here. We look at, oh yeah, let's remind, let's Oh yeah, because. you're, you're a drip drop. And what do we, I mean, link your, your distance. is the greatest distance. Yeah. 'cause yeah, like now. I'm, I'm, I'm totally in, which is where.

I started green. And I am still so dark. I'm actually, I was right here and now I'm here. I've moved two blocks and I've moved from this. border to like, yeah, well, more like right here. I've, I've actually moved into pre like borderline. dehydration from definite dehydration, so it helped me. a little bit, but not nearly as much as it help link. I am optimally hydrated now. I'm over hydrated. Did you think I wanna compare my, whoa, now.

I started there and I'm right in that, that realm. I think. Why is it so wet? Hang on, I'm gonna wipe it with my fingy. Okay. Um, there is some wetness on the thing. Is that it? Or is this it? That's it. So I moved up to borderline dehydration. Yeah. Okay. That's a big jump. You made a big jump. Ah, that's pretty good. Wow. It So everybody was helped. Yeah, I was helped significantly.

It was helped, but link You were helped. Yeah, a lot. I, I think my body is, I feel like I put the most pressure. on myself to stay hydrated and I'm constantly drinking water. I am too. It's a specific brand. I know, so you're right. My body was ready to make use of that water. I need them to send me some more cases, so, oh, is it. the, it's just not, let's not say until they send. me the more cases of it, but, well, and hold on. And before you say it was your body, I think it might.

be the product, especially because like we weren't, like, it's not really about your sample A, which would mean. Your, like your baseline hydration. It's about the difference between your sample A. and your sample B. Yeah. Right. Like that's the biggest jump. So it doesn't really matter if you're a hydrated person. Like how many blocks did you go? I went one block. At least two blocks, you know, and. Drip Drop, I'm told is the, the highest rated, most positively rated one that we're testing today.

So that plays out here for us too. Makes sense. And how much was it? Get a little drip and a little drop. Would you like some of the drop. with your drip? Okay, so what have we learned? I think get drip drop. Don't get what, What? Don't get moon juice. Don't get your dumb stuff. Yeah. Hear that, Moon Juice? That's pretty good. And y'all are really afraid of pee. Y'all are really afraid of pee. That's what I learned. When you think it's pee, it sends you running. Thanks for commenting and sharing this video. You know what time it is. My name's Veronica.
