IV Therapy vs Drinking Water: Which Rehydrates Faster?
Comparing IV therapy vs drinking water for rehydration? Here is how they differ and when each makes sense on a Cabo trip.
How each works
Drinking water rehydrates through your digestive system, which takes time. In the IV therapy vs drinking water comparison, IV fluids go directly into your bloodstream, so they work faster.
When water is enough
For mild thirst and everyday hydration, water with electrolytes is perfectly good and inexpensive.
When IV makes sense
After heavy sun, alcohol, illness, or when you cannot keep fluids down, IV therapy provides faster, more complete rehydration.
