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.

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 🍋

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!

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.

I enjoy the flavor but it always left me having a bad stomach ache. I am gluten free and have heard rumors that this contains gluten…

Super tasty! I mixed it with creatine after a workout and it made the creatine much more drinkable. The easy tear packets are super portable and make it super easy to keep in my car or backpack. The flavor variety is 10/10, there are so many to choose from. My favorite is the golden cherry.

It is a little on the sweet side, could do with a little less added sugar.

As someone who gets horrendous hangovers after literally one drink, I’d say this has really worked for me!!
Feedback
It doesn’t taste that good but the benefits far out way the negatives imo

The first time I tried this it had an overwhelmingly salty taste. I probably wasn’t dehydrated enough. The second time I tried it I spent all day on a boat and had little water so this came in clutch.

Find a way to make it taste less salty?

This product is great for restoring electrolytes after an even for heavy drinking. It's similar to pedialtye.

More flavors please

I truly didn’t think this product worked but I get terrible headaches when I feel like I’m dehydrated. On days when I feel a headache coming on, the liquid iv really helps!

Taste is a little artificial but is good with a bubbly water.

I love Liquid IV. Taste is good & if you buy at costco is is pretty affordable.
Feedback
I don’t like the amount of sugar they put in the drink. There are other replacements that use significantly less sugar.

I did not notice any type of increase in energy. However, I did notice I was getting better sleep.

Not sure how to apply to my concern
For a while, my friend used to hand these out every time we drank together (which was, unfortunately for my body, at least once a week). Suffice to say we have collectively tried all the flavors. I would never be able to finish a bottle of water with this in it. All the flavors are very sweet so it made it hard for me to take more than a small sip after taking a shot. I basically used it as a chaser since the flavor was strong enough to cover the taste of alcohol. Maybe that's a plus for it. But as for hydration, I would probably stick with just water.

This product is an amazing solution for hydrating after a night out or before a long run. The flavors keep me coming back over other competitors.

I would love an additional format that’s smaller and easier to transport for running and hiking - something more like a tablet

An absolute must for a bachelorette party. Felt an insane difference in my morning when adding liquid IV to my morning water.

I like LiquidIV. I can tell when I have a dehydration headache and these will get rid of it. I only substitute this for water or tea when it’s been a busy day.

Great flavors and it instantly makes me feel less tired at long volleyball tournaments.

The powder does get stuck in the little package so i feel that there is some waste

Great for hydration for summer Lacrosse players!

I absolutely love LiquidIV I swear by it as a hangover cure. It’s also great for traveling. Some of the flavors are a hit or miss the lemon lime is my favorite.

They should offer a trial pack that contains a few different flavors so consumers can figure out which one they like.
