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 dehydrate very easily and far too quickly. This product helps keep me balanced and healthy! Definitely recommend to anyone who needs a boost from sickness, fun in the sun, or a good ol binge drinking session! I am only giving 4 stars because I don’t like flavored drinks, but this definitely packs a punch and gets me back to my normal!
Liquid IV is such a miracle worker when it comes to dehrydation after a long flight or a heavy night of drinking. That being said, I really don't love the taste. It's very artificial but willing to put up with it for its effectiveness.
I use liquid IV when I am feeling a bit dehydrated and also when I or someone in my home is sick. I have also served it to my husband when he is working outside in the hot summer sun in order to keep him healthy and hydrated. So not only are these effective, but they are convenient to use in single serve sticks. The flavor is also very delicious.

I have POTS from long covid. Liquid IV was recommended by my cardiologist along, one a day, and 80- 100 oz of fluids a day. I started with the watermelon and guava, until it reached this point where the flavor tasted extremely artificial and weird. Anyways, I highly recommend the sugar free white peach and I hope they make more natural flavors.
Some of their flavours are great, but generally have an artifically after taste to them. It's a bit of trial and error to find the one you like. Generally these are great and mix very well, but they are definitely a bit pricier than other alternatives on the market.
The flavors are really good, and I really enjoy that it makes me feel hydratated. whatever, i feel that it would be much better if it wa a little bit sweteer.

I’ve enjoyed the flavors of these that I’ve tried, but I generally only feel like splurging on them when I’m sick and need the extra electrolytes. They’re sweet, but not overly sweet and they mix well in bottled water.
Liquid I.V. has truly redefined my hydration routine with its exceptional flavors—Watermelon, Strawberry, and Lemon. Despite being mixed with water, each variant remarkably captures the essence of real fruit juice, delivering a refreshing and enjoyable experience. Beyond its delectable taste, Liquid I.V. stands out for its hydration multiplier formula, ensuring optimal water absorption and providing a convenient solution for effective hydration. The portability of the packets makes it a convenient choice for on-the-go hydration. Liquid I.V. has seamlessly blended great taste with functional benefits, making it a standout choice for those seeking a delicious and nourishing way to stay hydrated.
Not the best flavor but great way to get electrolytes

Great taste and mixes well. Clean electrolytes!
In a pinch, these are great! I actually used them when I was out and about in Kenya in the summer and would get dehydrated quickly. I think a lot of people use them too often and are taking in more sodium than they should, but when you really need to be hydrated, these are great.
They come in convenient packets but are pretty sugary.

I have tried A LOT of electrolyte products in my life and Liquid IV is nothing special in my opinion. These are expensive and taste like fake sugar. For the price I wish they tasted better, but I do love the variety of flavors they have

This is a lifesaver. That’s it. That’s the tweet.
I had high hopes for these but there are so many electrolyte packets on the market now and they just didn't stand out. The flavors are ok but I thought left a strange after taste and are full of sugar. I would use in a pinch but not my first choice.
So I was camping and got a migraine. I took the usual and laid down. Hours later....still in pain. One of the guys there gave a stick to my husband and swore by it. I mixed it (lemon) and drank. Headache gone in less than an hour. So I'm hooked! My husband's friend uses these for hangovers, and loves them. These are now a staple in my kitchen, and will go on my next cruise for hangovers as well.
I like the way these make me feel, but I haven't found a flavor I like and that I feel like covers the saltiness of the mix yet. Although I know the point isn't the taste, I have a hard time drinking something that tastes overly salty :/
I love the power of electrolytes but Liquid IV not only tastes horrible, it also has way too much sugar in it. It's quite expensive and I've found better for less. Not buying again. Two stars because it did work eventually.
Costco was selling these, so my wife and I decided to try it. While I'm not saying they are all going to taste the same, the flavor I tried was terrible. I like that they taste as if they are carbonated, but the flavor was not the best for me. If you like the flavor, or can at least get past it, then these are great to drink. They are especially good if you're getting ready to do a long run such as a 5k, or if you just finished one. Being in a pouch makes them easy to carry with you and you don't have to worry about carrying an entire bottle of water. If the taste was better, I would have enjoyed these more.
Taste is doable if diluted with a lot of water but unnecessary amount of added sugar.
