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.

  • Liquid IV has been an absolute lifesaver, especially considering my frequent travels from Ireland to Utah. Long flights can really take a toll on your body, but with Liquid IV, staying hydrated has never been easier. It's become my go-to travel companion, ensuring I arrive at my destination feeling refreshed and energized, even after endless hours in the air. This hydration multiplier is a must-have for anyone who values comfort and well-being during their journeys.

  • Liquid IV has been a lifesaver for me! I have made it a part of my health routine. Shortly after drinking it I felt rejuvenated! I try not to run out now.

  • Liquid IV has become a staple to my wellness routine. When feeling dehydrated or if I'm noticing my body is drained, mixing a packet of Liquid IV almost always does the job of reviving me! Almost all flavors that I've tried have been delicious- my favorite being the Acai Berry and Watermelon flavors. They're easy to bring on the go, and really gets the job done!

  • Hubby loves it. I can't get past the saltiness.

  • I've really enjoyed the taste and quality of Liquid IV. First time I tried it was during a trip to Austin and it kept me well hydrated throughout the days. While I really enjoy a number of other hydration products, such as Nuun (for cycling and running), Liquid IV has a more thirst-quenching taste. It is more difficult to come by in Canada, but can be found at Costco. I would recommend the brand expand into new channels.

  • I’ve had several flavors and love the watermelon! Give it a good stir or you’ll have a crunchy sip (but it’s kinda like candy!) Helps keep you hydrated in Georgia’s brutal summers.

  • I started using this when I gave birth to keep myself hydrated while breastfeeding and it was all the hype and more. I still take them 2 years later.

  • I love liquid iv! I take it with me when I travel, before/after working out, and I’m pretty positive it’s helped prevent a few hangovers.

  • The product is very sweet. I did like some flavors over others, but it didn't do it's job for me. I had to double up on hydration product types for relief.

  • I got the tangerine immune support liquid iv to try. The taste is a combination of sweet and salty. Whenever I feel tired or dehydrated, a quick glass of this mixes with water helps me feel refreshed again! I have also heard that this helps recovery from bad hangover, but I have yet to try. Recommend for daily usage and definitely a must for traveling! Lastly, if I have to make one recommendation, I’d say the sweetness can be adjusted to be just a tad less sweet.

  • Love this! Definitely helps replenish your electrolytes after working out or sweating a lot!

  • I use liquid IV to prevent cramps when playing long volleyball tournaments. I have not found any better solution than liquid IV to get me through a long day of sports. The Yuzu Pineapple in particular is my favorite.

  • LOVE this stuff!! Keeps me hydrated when I get too busy to take in enough water. Plus they taste great! My fiance works out in the Kansas heat so they are a MUST in his lunch box. We're super happy they finally came out with sugar free flavors. AND, that we can stock up on them at Costco!

  • it does taste a little salty but the is of course the electrolytes! Good flavors all around!

  • It helped me recover from a hangover but I don’t think it was the best option as far as recuperating. I love my pedialyte after a long night out.

  • Liquid IV is a hydration supplement that promises to provide efficient hydration with a blend of electrolytes and vitamins. While it aims to offer an alternative to traditional hydration methods, its sweetness might be something people may want to avoid. I personally didn’t enjoy the sweetness and how pricey it is.

  • This saves me when I’m hungover!! Definitely worth buying for the extra hydration that makes you feel so much better!! Love the variety of flavors as well!

  • Lots of added sugar. Would prefer something with less sugar to guarantee a healthier hydration. It tastes amazing though.

  • Good for someone that doesnt like drinking regular water lol

  • A bit of an intense flavor (acidic and extremely sweet) unless you thoroughlyyyy dilute it with water, but it's always worked for me!
