FAQ
Basics
What is Liva?
Liva is a delicious electrolyte drink mix that hydrates you better than water alone.
Liva utilizes our proprietary ACTC™ formula to deliver water and key nutrients into your cells more efficiently than water alone. Optimal hydration means better performance, more energy and sharper mind.
What is ACTC™?
ACTC™ is our proprietary blend of amino acids. We dug into every available scientific study on amino acids and their impact on rehydration and nutrient transport and selected five amino acids for their remarkable properties.
Research shows that amino acids in ACTC™ outperform glucose in nutrient transport and absorption. They play a vital role in facilitating hydration in three key areas: the vascular space (blood vessels), interstitial area (space between cells), and intracellular area (inside cells), ensuring thorough body hydration.
What are electrolytes?
Electrolytes, like sodium, potassium, magnesium or calcium, are essential minerals in your body. They are fundamental for optimal hydration, help regulate nerve and muscle function, maintain energy and cognitive function, balance blood acidity and pressure, and help rebuild damaged tissue.
How does Liva work?
Liva Hydration offers a scientifically balanced mix of electrolytes. By providing the necessary electrolytes, Liva Hydration helps maintain optimal hydration in your body, which can improve physical and cognitive performance, reduce tiredness and increase your focus.

Hydration
What causes dehydration?
Dehydration happens when your body loses more water and electrolytes than you take in. Everyday things like walking and breathing can cause us to lose water, leading to dehydration.
Usually, an adult loses about 3 litres of water a day. This number increases a lot with heat, exercise, work, stress, travel, or even while drinking alcohol and being in air-conditioned rooms.
How many people are dehydrated?
It's hard to tell precisely since hydration habits and conditions change between countries and individuals.
Studies say that over 50% of people are dehydrated daily in various European Union countries. In the United States, the number is even higher, and some studies claim up to 75% of people experience dehydration on a daily basis.
How do I know if I'm dehydrated?
Common symptoms of dehydration are headaches, tiredness, dizziness, muscle fatigue and cramps, increased thirst, anxiety or even bad breath and dehydrated skin.
Each human is different, and if you have specific concerns or medical conditions, we recommend consulting your doctor.
Why is hydration important?
About 60% of our body is water, and every cell and tissue needs water (and electrolytes) to work correctly. Even a slight loss of water can cause dehydration. Water and electrolytes are critical for physical and mental health, cognitive abilities, temperature control, waste removal, heart and blood health, and overall metabolism function.
Isn't water enough?
Drinking water and staying hydrated are one of the most crucial things you can do for your body. Drinking water alone might be enough in ideal nutritional conditions and without demanding activities.
However, adding electrolytes with a proper transport mechanism means faster and more effective hydration. Optimal hydration means better physical and mental performance, less fatigue, more clarity and many other benefits.
Can some drinks dehydrate me?
Yes, various beverages might dehydrate you: alcohol, coffee, sodas or even some fruit juices.
