Liquid I.V. reviews and discussion

It tastes super sweet. If you are not sensitive to the taste of stevia like me, then you might be more accepting of the taste. The sugary taste overpowers the flavor that it's hard for me to swallow it.

A must in my travel bag, great for optimizing hydration and for on the go electrolytes. Delicious flavors and a major pick me up when dehydrated!

I think liquid IV does great when it comes to flavor. When it comes to their formula, however, I’m not as impressed. It has a decent amount of sodium and potassium, but no magnesium which is part of what we lose when we sweat, which is the point of electrolytes. It’s better than nothing but if you want an actually effective electrolyte, this isn’t the best.

Tasted like ocean water, I gagged. My husband drinks anything and everything but he also gagged and we dumped it out.

I am sold on the sugar- flavors, however, I wish there were more options. I like that these packs are convenient for on-the-go travel & working out. Sometimes they are hard to dissolve in water though and I think the tablet form like Nuun would be better. Regardless, I will take electrolytes how I can get them and this one is effective for workouts and hangover prevention.

The flavors are not great and I dont feel hydrated ever when I drink them

Prefer “banana bag” foe electrolyte replacement.

Unpopular opinion: I really didn't notice/feel that much of a difference when using this post-drinking/for a hangover. I have friends who swear by it, so maybe I'm just chronically nutrient deficient? Either way, for the high price point, I feel at times this is more of a fad than it is a remedy. I've realized with time that plain old water can do equal wonders for free. I also thoroughly do not enjoy the taste - way too sweet.

This was a total hit at my sons wrestling match and much better than sugar loaded others

This simply works. I have these often when I'm sick or know I'm about to do a big workout, and this helps me stay hydrated. It's great for preventing headaches, or to bring along if you're about to go on a night out. I love that it's compact and shelf-stable so I can keep one in my bag in case I need it!

I love this stuff, but it's a little sweet for me. It also sometimes settles at the bottom of the glass, so I don't feel like I'm getting my full serving when I take it.

Some of the flavors taste better than others, but overall the brand is a tried and true favorite!! It consistently gets the job done.

Every time I have more than a couple drinks, I take a Liquid IV. Definitely helps with hydration and getting more electrolytes in - on days I’ve missed it, I definitely felt the hangover the next morning. Taste is overall alright, palatable but not “good.”

I feel like it always makes me feel better in the moment but the ingredients are bad and I choose to drink other brands over this

Doesn’t taste as good as other alternatives

Love the new sugar free variety

Obsessed! I'm someone who forgets to drink water -- like I'll look up and say, "Woah, it's 4pm and I've have not had any water!" I try to keep a few of these on hand at all times to drink a few times a week. I have a 40 oz. waterbottle (when I remember to drink water, I REALLY drink it) and will use half a packet. I once used a whole packet and it was toooo much for me because I felt like my body was malfunctioning in overdrive. Also, I just went on a month long trip to France and packed a few of these in my carry on. I mainly wanted to ensure that I could drink one on each transatlantic flight and one a week. I loved it on the flight because it's hydrating and I didn't have to pee multiple times on the flight because my body retained the electrolytes and water. I buy these from Whole Foods.

The taste takes some getting used to because it is really strong, I prefer to use half a packet but I appreciate the great benefits!

I love adding this to my water. It makes me feel so much more hydrated and like my body is actually absorbing the water.

Too sweet. The only thing worth it could be the sugar-free versions.
