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.

  • Too much sugar which gives you a false sense of hydration and in reality just makes your. Lord sugar peak. You’re not hydrated. You have a sugar rush.

  • Immediately buy ! My girlfriends and I are nearing 30 and we cannot hang like we use to. If you are looking for more hydration this is your go to product. Not only does it give you energy this product helps keep you hydrated and all you need is a bottle of water. So if you are trying to hang with your friends and have a fun time drinking I recommend this to be the first thing you drink before the fun begins. It will help you enjoy your time drinking and avoid hangovers.

  • My Kids love it the best out of any other hydrators because of the taste. I just wish there was all natural version.

  • I really enjoy this after a a girls wine day. It makes me feel not as dehydrated. The flavors vary so I like to stick to the basic lemon lime flavor. Wish it didn't have as much sugar.

  • Can always count on these to help when I've had a little too much to drink! Never fails

  • Any time I feel the slightest bit dehydrated, I know Liquid IV is the solution! After a workout, a night out, or if I'm just needing a tasty bevy to pick me up -- I know I'll be satisfied with the variety of flavor options and overall benefits of this product.

  • These work great, but are definitely sugary. Also, some of the flavors (lemon-lime) are good, while some (passionfruit) are really bad. At the end of the day they're electrolyte packets, they're good when the weather is hot and you're out, like at a festival or something; but not so much for a hangover since they're so sugary! They're pricey but worth it, in my opinion!

  • Absolutely love the dragon fruit flavor, it's a monthly subscription for our family

  • I always keep these on hand, especially when I have a busy day.

  • These we first to market but the taste and vitamins are not comparable to newer options. When I am dehydrated or trying to workout, I do not want a sugary option that does not feel thirst quenching. I also would prefer less sugar and more salt. This is no longer my go to for workouts or nights after drinking.

  • I love adding liquid IV to my water for boosted gradation! From workouts to night outs, liquid IV has you covered ;)

  • The easiest way to hydrate and re-energize after a long night or lack of sleep!

  • This product actually made me "feel" like I was getting good hydration. I physically felt better, faster. While the taste of this product is actually pretty good, I'd like to see more options for flavors, such as Raspberry, Cherry etc. I use this regularly.

  • Perfect for on the go, work or the gym. Love the different flavors.

    Received a free product from Liquid I.V.
  • My wife got these. They are ok. For me personally too salty but she enjoys them. I get a little nervous anything the world economic forum endorses since they endorse everything not good for you.

  • Whenever I needed a quick super hydration dose, I drop some of this in my filtered water at home. Adds electrolytes and some great taste to ordinary water.

  • Love this! The flavors are amazing and it really keeps you hydrated!!

  • These are easy to take with you anywhere - just add water! Love all the flavors I’ve tried so far. I just wish there were more choice flavors for sugar free - there is so much added. Other than that I feel that it definitely helps keep me hydrated especially living in TX!

  • Really great for hydration, flavors are a bit powdery tasting, but better than other hydration packets like this one
