Reviews mention

  • Fast-acting hydration boost
  • Convenient travel-friendly packets
  • Wide, crowd-pleasing flavors
  • Smooth, easy dissolving powder
  • Overly sweet flavor profiles
  • Noticeable salty aftertaste
  • High sugar and sodium content
  • Occasional clumping texture

Liquid I.V. earns strong reviews for fast, noticeable hydration—especially after workouts, heat, travel, or a night out—while convenient single-serve packets and broad flavor variety (standouts include Lemon Lime, Strawberry, Passion Fruit, Watermelon, Golden Cherry) make it easy to use. Reviews also flag consistent drawbacks: many flavors taste overly sweet or salty, some feel thick or artificial, and the added sugar and sodium (with a newer sugar‑free line noted) are frequent concerns; mixing can clump and flavor hit-or-miss. Overall, the brand is effective but polarizing on taste and ingredients.

  • 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.

  • 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.
