Reviews mention

  • Noticeably fast hydration boost
  • Convenient travel-ready packets
  • Wide, crowd-pleasing flavors
  • Mixes easily in cold water
  • Overly sweet, sometimes salty taste
  • High sugar and sodium content
  • Occasional thick, gritty texture
  • Inconsistent flavor enjoyment

Liquid I.V. earns strong reviews for fast, noticeable hydration—especially after workouts, travel, heat, and hangovers—while convenient single-serve packets and broad flavor variety (Lemon Lime, Strawberry, Passion Fruit, Watermelon, Golden Cherry) stand out. However, many reviews flag overly sweet, sometimes salty flavors, a “thick” mouthfeel, undissolved grit, and high sugar/sodium; some prefer diluting with more water or the newer sugar‑free line, and a few question ingredient “cleanliness” or effectiveness versus competitors.

  • Really helpful when you dehydrated/hangover .

    Friends with Liquid I.V.
  • The Lemon Lime flavor is awful. I haven't tried the others yet.

  • This could totally be a placebo but I feel like liquid IV has saved my life from hangovers

  • Sick. Overly weirdly sweet and kind of, dare I say it… milky? I got these when I was pregnant bc they were recommended to me by my nutritionist as a way to increase hydration. Super expensive, could barely choke them down.

  • These are good but most of what makes them good is the amount of sugar in them. The fruit flavor is also artificial tasting to me. There are better and more hydrating options on the market

  • I like the strawberry flavor most because it reminds me of lychee or something similar. I definitely feel hydrated after drinking this, however, I don't purchase them often because I feel that it works about the same as other electrolyte drinks.

  • I suffer from multiple chronic health issues and im prone to severe dehydration and these are definently a game changer!!!!

  • You get used to the taste after a few packets. I consider it to be fairly expensive, but do think the Yuzu Pineapple Energy Multiplier is worth it.

  • I love their flavors and the efficacy of this product to feel better and hydrated when sick or traveling! When I’ve shared with friends, not everyone may like the flavor/sweetness. But the hav sugar free liquid IV as an option.

  • Tried this from Costco and they must say it definitely gave me the pick me up that I needed.

  • This stuff is good and really does boost the hydration in your body. I have had the lemon. I liked it and it was the boost I needed on a hot concert afternoon. I got my sample from Bonnoroo😎

  • If you enjoy a saltier flavor … these are amazing. I’m not big on salt, but when I mix it in my water bottle, I will chill it in the freezer for about 20 minutes - hits the spot! Liquid IV is my go to when it’s hot outside, if I have been physically active, if I know I am dehydrate, or even when I have a headache - these things make a difference! Many different flavors. Pineapple is my favorite so far!

  • Very good beverage. The hydration is great!

  • Besides having a lot of sugar, the product is good for getting hydrated after a workout or long hot days. I used it after having a headache all day from being dehydrated and this got rid of my headaches right away. Apparently just drinking water wasn’t cutting it for me that day.

  • I was having trouble with leg cramps after being out doing yard work, no matter how much water I drank. So I had seen that Amazon had it as part of their Prime member days and decided to buy it and give it a try! I bought the strawberry flavored one and it tastes phenomenal! I’m addicted to it when I’m outside sweating in the SC heat and humidity! The leg cramps stopped and I always have a box on hand!

  • I absolutely love this brand. I’ve been using liquid IV for my postpartum period and during pregnancy to help with hydration. It has tremendously helped my breast-feeding journey by making sure that I am continuing to hydrate my body.

  • Literally the best thing you need when you’re feeling know and need to replenish your energy. I love the strawberry one

  • Liquid I.V. is my go to for hydration. I suffer from chronic dehydration and always having one of these in my bag makes a world of difference. You can feel the difference after day two of using them. Great for travel as well!

  • I regularly purchase these and having been using them in the heat of Nashville for both recovery and rehydration purposes. Perfect price point as well.

  • It’s really good as far as hydration but after using an app that rates food products based on additives/sugars/calories/salt etc I use it very rarely. It does its job but it didn’t score very well for being particularly healthy so we chose to cut back on how often we use it.
