  • Fast-acting hydration effect
  • Convenient travel packets
  • Broad, enjoyable flavor variety
  • Smooth, quick dissolution
  • Overly sweet, salty taste
  • High sugar, sodium content
  • Inconsistent flavor quality
  • Occasional gritty, thick texture

Liquid I.V. earns strong reviews for fast, noticeable hydration—many users rely on it for hangovers, travel, heat, sports, and POTS—while single‑serve packets are convenient and most flavors (lemon lime, strawberry, passion fruit, golden cherry, watermelon) dissolve well. However, frequent critiques cite overly sweet, sometimes salty taste, high sugar and sodium, occasional gritty/thick texture, and mixed reactions to certain flavors; several prefer diluting or the newer sugar‑free options.

  • Liquid IV has become the drink of choice since my wife has given birth. These hydration packs have enough electrolytes in them to keep you going and to give your body the nutrition that may be lacking. My wife adds one package to her water daily and it has provided the balance that her body needs. Please do your research prior to purchasing if you are pregnant or breast-feeding as not all products are safe for woman who are breastfeeding. My wife has found the product that works for her while breastfeeding. I would highly recommend this product as a wonder supplement to your daily diet or routine. Liquid IV is a drink mix that has many different options and flavors. Liquid IV can be found in many different places such as Walmart, Target as well as many other places as well as gas stations.

  • I had recently been dehydrated and decided to try Liquid IV to boost my hydration. The Liquid IV was simple to pour into a glass of water, mix and drink. I actually should have done more research before taking this product. I was on a sodium free diet, and one of the main components of this product is sodium!

  • I absolutely love this Strawberry Hydration Multiplier Electrolyte, it is delicious and has great health benefits. It helps my headaches and is great to use while working out to replenish electrolytes, I definitely recommend this!

  • I am obsessed with this Hydration Multiplier Electrolyte, it is delicious and has great health benefits. It helps my headaches and is great to use while working out to replenish electrolytes, I definitely recommend this!

  • Big fan of the variety of flavors, like lemon lime, mandarin orange. They are very convenient to use and mix into cold water easily. I wish that there were more low sugar/sugar free options. Also there are some crazy flavors that are fun to try but do not taste good like hot cocoa.

  • I like liquid IV if I’m really dehydrated or have a hangover. I will say that it is really sweet and I sometimes question whether it actually works or not. Overall I think good if you’re in a pinch but they are pretty pricy!

  • Not the most delicious electrolytes. Does taste a tad bit medicinal. But it might just be the flavor I got (raspberry melon). I’ll finish the box but I won’t order it again (or I’ll try the non-sugar free ones)

  • I like this flavor, but it’s not as good as the rainbow sherbet. I love that it’s sugar free and hydrating, and gets me to drink water when I’m having a day I don’t feel like plain water. It tastes 50/50 strawberry and watermelon.

  • My favorite flavor! Really tastes like rainbow sherbet, and I love that there’s no sugar. When you’re really dehydrated you do need the sugar, but for a day to day or people who cannot tolerate the additional sugar this is great!

  • This stuff is SO stinking tasty. It doesn't leave any weird taste in my mouth. They are rather pricey though so you have to use sparingly, which I recommend anyway because too many electrolytes can mess with your kidneys. Costco is my go to spot to buy them!

  • Great during a heat wave, after working out, or anytime you're tired of water. Easy for travel or work, nothing beats a cherry-lime flavor.

  • This is a great flavor! I work out a lot, I jog around 3 miles a day and lose a lot of electrolytes so I need to rehydrate with something other than Gatorade. I like that there is a lot of powder for your water so you don't drink something boring. I was wondering why this brand does not have magnesium in it while other hydration powders do. Either way, it's still fun to drink. I will definitely try more flavors :)

  • These taste amazing! Definitely one of my favorites since finding sugar free. The original were delicious but after a few boxes, I felt bloated and everything just tasted sweet. Finding sugar free, gives me the sweet but no overwhelming sweet while feeling hydrated.

  • Using LiquidIV is a game changer. In the summer temperatures and high heat, I often feel dehydrated and adding LiquidIV to my water is an instant change of how my body feels. I keep extras packets in my purse everywhere I go. And all the flavor choices gives a nice variety and change!

  • I like to add a package to my bottle water daily. It helps to keep me hydrated and the taste is great. It’s really refreshing and an easy way to get some essential vitamins. The packaging makes it convenient to take some on the go.

  • I love liquid iv. My favorite flavor is the lime one but am never disappointed with any of the flavors really. This is something that I crave and can also tell that I’m being hydrated when I drink it.

  • I’ve known about this brand for a while but never had a chance to try it until now. After finally trying it, I have to say it wasn’t really for me. I found it a bit too sweet, even after diluting it with water. When I added more water to tone down the sweetness, the flavor ended up being too weak and not very enjoyable. Overall, it just didn’t hit the right balance for my taste.

  • I am obsessed with the Seaberry flavor, it is so refreshing and delicious. This has great mineral support and is my favorite way to get them in. I use this in the morning and sets me up to feel great all day!

  • I am obsessed with this Hydration Multiplier Electrolyte, this grape flavor is delicious and has great health benefits. It helps my headaches and is great to use while working out to replenish electrolytes, I definitely recommend this!

  • I wanted to love this - I was having issues with hydration and was told by the doctor to try a hydration support drink/powder. After much research, Liquid IV came out on top. Bought the whole variety pack and could basically only drink two packets. So super salty, like drinking saline water. I could barely taste the flavor because it was so salty. Not one review or comment mentioned this - so sorely disappointed.
