Liquid I.V. reviews and discussion
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.

Love the passion fruit flavor! Have used this product multiple times after a night of drink, intense workouts, or even when I just feel dehydrated.
Feedback
The packets could be a little less sweet tasting. Maybe a light version would be nice.

Definitely hydrating but had a weird taste. I usually mix the whole go in a smaller amount of water to get it over with quicker, haha
Feedback
I mean, I understand why it tastes the way it does (and why alternatives have more sugar than a donut factory). But perhaps there’s some sort of middle ground

I loved the feeling after having one of these. It really did make me feel 10 times more hydrated.

Loved using this. Took it with us to a trip to Cancun and really kept us going

It’s amazing to have the little packets and a bottle of cold water when it’s hot outside, the flavors are really good and refreshing
Feedback
The range of flavors is immaculate, and they always drop new flavors

Not worth the money, made me feel nauseous. If you have any hormone deficiencies or PCOS do not use this.
Feedback
Taste was okay, it was the after taste and effects I didn’t like.

This is the best hydration multiplier I have tried! It is a little on the sweet side, but that can be improved when mixed with more water. The lemon-lime flavor is great!
Feedback
I do wish it could be ordered in a larger container, as the packets (while convenient) feel extremely wasteful. Plus, that would make it easier to customize the amount used!

Some of the flavors are harder to drink than others but I don’t think any of them are awful. These are one of the only things that will help with my migraines and hangover headaches.
Feedback
Offer more variety packs in store.

Liquid IV really helps when you just need extra water and electrolytes in your system when you’re dehydrated. Really helps you feel hydrated and ready to go! The flavors also taste really good

I have tried in the past and am a fan. The overall purpose is a great idea and can be used for different situations.
Feedback
Taste could be better

Love this stuff. So refreshing. I like to add it to ice cold water.

It’s great for those extra electrolytes or for a little “pick me up” when feeling dehydrated! I tend to use these before drinking and after to avoid hangovers. Also use them on days where I feel dehydrated.
Feedback
I wish there were more flavors to choose from. Another form of packaging would be good (selling in a scoop form)

Drank one of these nearly every day while traveling through Europe in the summer. I could tell the difference it made when I skipped a day. I drink a lot of water on a normal basis and found it more difficult to get my normal amount when traveling so these picked up that slack perfectly. Easy to pack.
Feedback
The hydration aspect of these packets can be replicated by using a cheap and simple formula, making these very overpriced. Lowering the cost would be helpful.

Liquid IV was at the forefront of hydration beverages that were not pedialyte. First thing I want to talk about is the flavor. I’ve tried a variety of Liquid IV flavors and it does not taste good. It was a very salty taste. Now I understand part of this is due to the nutrients in liquid IV, so I just accept that. The thing I don’t love about liquid IV is all the added sugar.

Great product for a long day or after night out drinking!
Feedback
Less sugar

I was apprehensive due to the constant podcast ads, but decided to buy some single packets to try regardless. I’m so glad I did because Liquid IV is my secret lifesaver when I need it to be: It has helped with hangovers, headaches, just overall zest. A bit pricey per serving so I only use it on special occasions (see above: migraines, hangovers, etc) but I always have at least a couple on hand at home. Lemon lime is absolutely my favorite flavor 🍋
Feedback
A better price point, and more eco friendly packaging (perhaps compostable packets, or in a solid tablet form?)

Love these! I use them especially during Ramadan as they keep me hydrated during my fast!
Feedback
More flavors, and you could add a “less” sweet option to those who don’t want as much sweetness.

It seemed to work as well as any other sports drink but the flavors weren’t for me.
