Water doesn’t replace electrolytes though, and multivitamins usually don’t contain an adequate amount of things like magnesium to meet the minimum daily dose, let alone when extended physical activity is involved. I’m not sure about liquidIV, but I can say without a doubt that electrolyte replacements are immensely important in these types of scenarios. Sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate are the ones that should be sought after in an electrolyte replacement. Manganese, calcium, molybdenum, and the others can be attained through things like multivitamins or food.
I’m not advocating for liquidIV at all, I’m simply saying that electrolyte replacement “supplements” have been instrumental in my life professionally and personally. Most sports drinks and supplements labeled for electrolyte replacement do add way too much sugar, a lot of the reason is because electrolytes in their raw form taste like ass.
