Liquid I.V. reviews and discussion

4.1

80% of reviewers would recommend to a friend

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.

  • has sugar added and if you are watching your sugar intake it's not really a good thing; tastes great though

  • Liquid IV has saved my life many times! Obsessed with the lemon lime and tangerine flavors.

  • This has saved me from many roughy nights out. I work in the film industry and it has saved our crew on hot summer work days. 10/10 recommend

  • It's really tasty pedilyte on the go. Some of the flavors are better than others and they make some of the mixes to have other benefits besides just hydration.

  • I tried this product for over 6 months and didn't experience any changes. I also felt like it was way too sweet so I would use a 30oz bottle and would drink 2-3 a day, but still nothing different happened. It's a waste of your money; just drink plenty of water. It will give you the same outcome!

  • i’ve been using liquid iv for the past three years. it’s come in super handy during florida summers since my partner and i both used to work outdoors!! we loved trying all of the different flavors and recommend it to anyone who is feeling a little dehydrated after any activity!!

  • Don't like the branding so was hesitant to try but loved the grape flavor and found the product effective. Prefer bulk powdered electrolytes for cost reasons but this is a nice option for on the go.

  • This is a must for a Sunday recovery !! Or even if you just want to be prepared and hydrate the day before! Taste too good!

  • I used to be a huge fan of liquid IV, but the overly artificial taste and amount of sugar in the product has turned me away. I would take a liquid iv after a long day in the sun or after workouts when I need an extra boost of hydration. The product definitely helps restore hydration levels, but I personally think there are healthier and more natural options out there. Also, it is a bit pricey for the amount of product you are receiving so be conscious of that when going to buy from the brand.

  • The orange is my favorite flavor, great value and really enjoy the benefits

  • Tastes good, but way too much sugar. There are so many better options available without all the added sugar that do a much better job hydrating you.

  • great way to rehydrate. I love these they taste great and are easy to back in a purse or a gym bag/back pack.

  • Liquid IV is great for a hangover or when I'm exercising. I typically just use half a packet in a sitting due to the high sodium and sweet taste!

  • I love the flavors and the fact that they don’t have any food dyes in them. They are great for traveling, after workouts, and just needing some flavor in your water.

  • Too expensive. Other Brands have very similar products that work just as well for a fraction of the cost. I think it's over hyped.

  • Does it’s job well which is most important for a product like this. A bit sweet for my taste and the cardboard box was large for how much space the product occupied

  • Lived in Vegas for 5 years and we needed help hydrating. Stumbled upon Liquid IV and it changed our time spent outside because we were hydrated!

  • Took this for the first time while visiting Aspen with my family this summer. I had about 3 packets over the course of the first 26 hours at higher altitude. It definitely helped me drink more liquids and it tasted great. I didn't suffer too much from the change in elevation so think it has to get some credit for that!

  • Seaberry is the best flavor, but I’ve only found it online. I like this product, but there are a ton on the market. I’ll grab for others first before special ordering my favorite flavor.
