Liquid I.V. reviews and discussion

One of the tastier electrolyte drink mixes. Mixes well, good flavor, and easy package to handle. Also does well for during and post sweaty workouts. A bit pricy but worth it for the occasional days/mornings that you need to get feeling better soon.

I have used liquid iv on my own, but the real testimony I want to share is about my grandparents. They are in their 80s and have struggled to drink enough water to say hydrated as they have gotten older. They have started drinking liquid IV and have noticed a huge difference in their overall energy levels. My grandma notices when she doesn't drink it because she doesn't sleep as well and sometimes gets leg cramps. This product has made a huge difference in their quality of life.

Had horrible food poisoning and Liquid IV was the only thing that actually helped hydrate me and get me back to normal!

I think that these hydration Liquid IV's taste SOOOOO good! I really like that they are easy to take on the go. I do think they have more sugar than needed but if you need a quick on the go electrolyte boost - yum try the passion fruit!

Pros: large range of flavors, most that I've have been tasty (the golden cherry was a touch too artificial in my opinion). The packaging is convenient and travel friendly. Cons: Some flavors taste too sweet, cost per sachet is high.

I think it works well for hydration and I always carry in my suitcase in case I get dehydrated on a plane or after a few drinks. My downside is I don't really like the taste. Maybe I got a bad flavor, the lemon lime, just isn't for me. If I am dehydrated it is a great easy way to feel better, but I wouldn't drink it unless I had to which is why I don't rate it higher. I like that it can cut down plastic packaging because its a small pouch instead of a bottle of electrolyte water, so that is nice.

It’s like Gatorade but I feel rich.

I think this is the biggest scam and way too unhealthy for you. You need electrolytes when you are hungover and don’t need all the sugar associated with the product. I highly recommend Salt Sticks or Nuuns instead.

I love Liquid IV! Initially, the high sugar content turned me off. But I do feel more hydrated when I drink it! I usually use one in 64 oz of water.

Saved from hangovers multiple times with these guys - love that they're individual packs, easy to travel with!

Helpful in staving off the inevitable.

I used Liquid IV every day for months because I have Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, or POTS, a chronic illness that requires that I keep my salt levels up to manage symptoms. This product just wasn’t for me. The artificial flavors just aren’t great, and I worry about how healthful using this would be over time. It is also expensive if you need something for daily use. I ended up finding an alternative that included a very basic, World Health Organization recommended formulation and have felt much better about using that daily.

I use half a packet of Liquid IV in my water bottle during every workout since I'm prone to light headedness and cramps, and it's definitely helped alleviate that! A staple in the summertime especially.

It’s good I’m not big on the flavor though

I'd recommend Nuun over Liquid IV any day.

I'm coming down with a cold and decided to try this for the electrolytes. I have only tried the passion fruit flavor, but Liquid IV does not taste good to me, personally. I feel like the product works, but I had to chug it due to the taste.

I love the idea of this and how easy they are to use I didn’t notice any significant difference after drinking, but if it gets people to drink more water I’m all for it!

I think there are better products on the market for hydration solutions, but Liquid I.V. will do the job. They have a good variety of flavors and are on the more expensive side, but not horrible.

They are pricey and have way too much sugar. I do end up drinking A LOT more water just to dilute the sweetness

I love the mission of this brand, but there is SO much sugar in one single packet - 11g per serving! What I don't understand is why. There certainly doesn't need to be that much sugar in an electrolyte powder, and these would be far more beneficial and effective if they cut the sugar by at least 50% and it would still taste sweet. Would even be great if they replaced the sugar with an alternative sweetener like monk fruit or stevia leaf. While the flavors taste good and I like the idea of drinking one each day, at the end of the day, I feel like I'm doing my body more harm than good by drinking LiquidIV.
