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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I've been using Liquid I.V. for the last 3 years and think it i a great alternative to gatorade and perfect for when traveling. I like to have a pack with me at all times in case I'm feeling dehydrated.

Variety packs would be a fun alternative
Liquid IV dissolves so well into water. We have tried multiple flavors and liked them all. Makes drinking water much easier.

A better way to package product with less waste.

Amazing flavors, but they are on something if they think you need to put one of these in a 16oz container. Only if you want to immediately pass out. These are POWERFUL. I put one in my 40oz Stanley and that's the only way I can drink these

Maybe sell a product that is 32 smaller packets instead of 16 bigger ones. Bring back the pear flavor!
Great for portable hydration.

It's rather expensive and the taste is very sweet (the first ingredient is sugar).
Super delicious and soo many flavors. We use liquid iv for soo many occasions - working out, hangovers, aha when sick. So great to have these on hand.
Pricey but did the job. Gave me the extra electrolytes I needed and kept me hydrated throughout my hikes. Flavors are okay.
The flavors are really great, and I always need extra electrolytes. This makes it easy to get them in without a ton of added sugar.
Taste was salty and if you're hungover these are hard to get down without wanting to throw up.
LOVE Liquid IV! As an avid hot yoga practitioner, I'm always on the lookout for electrolytes that taste good and keep me hydrated. The strawberry flavor is by far my favorite. Not too sweet or overly flavorfully, but very refreshing.

I used to be obsessed with Liquid I.V. as a hangover cure. I used it regularly to maintain hydrated in high-altitude areas as well. Now, I just can't justify the high sugar content for regular use, though if that isn't a concern, I would recommend Liquid I.V. The Lemon flavor is my favorite!
Liquid IV was suggested to me by my doctor when I was diagnosed with Mono in college, where I very quickly discovered this product was perfect for hangovers as well. I have loved and suggested this product to all of my friends. Before their marketing really picked up and everyone knew about them I was literally a liquid IV dealer in college.

The flavors are fine and the product does what it promises, however I find that these flavors can be oddly salty?
Truly a hangover lifesaver. I survived the day after my wedding with no hangover and I credit Liquid I.V. My secret is having it the night before if possible, but still effective the day after too.

It really is sooo sugary, which is hard to get used to but it's tolerable since I'm not using it regularly.
I have a pack of these in acai berry and they're way to sweet for my taste...it's hard to make it through the whole drink. The flavor is like a worse version of capri sun's pacific cooler (which I used to love!). Perhaps the other flavors are better, but it will take me a while to get through this box to even want to try another one.
I've had a mixed experience with Liquid IV. I've purchased the lemon lime Hydration Multiplier and holy cow. It was so disgustingly salty and yet sweet, that I struggled to finish these. I take these on hiking trips because that's really the only time I think I need the extra electrolytes or hydration (you can just drink normal water if you're sitting at home, probably no need to be using these, IMO). However, my friend had the Hydration Multiplier in guava and passion fruit and those were both pretty good. I would consider trying other flavors. I might look into a variety pack. The science and mission are really cool.
Best for rough mornings or when you are feeling under the weather. I mix with more water than they suggest due to the flavor being rather bold for me.

Takes a good stir or shake to blend fully

I used these and ended up having kidney stones because of all the additional additives in these. If you’re using them regularly, make sure to water them down or take less at once. There are better alternatives such as Nuun and Hoist that don’t have unnecessary additives.

Love the flavor and love how it’s made water more enjoyable and easier to get the nutrition I need! I use these everyday to power me up for the day.
I love Liquid IV's electrolytes so much! They are essential if you are active and workout or play sports. They are also great to bring with you to college and help recharge you when you are too dehydrated.
I pull these out every time I’m traveling or when we have a sick kiddo in the house. I love the single serve packaging. I always have one in my purse and it’s easy for dispensing. This brand has replaced the sugar heavy Gatorade and Powerade drinks in my home.
I am truly so impressed with Liquid IV! I’ve been using it for a while now, and it’s become a total game changer for me. I always keep a few packets with me when I’m working out, traveling, or just need a quick hydration boost. The flavors are amazing and delicious, making staying hydrated so much easier. Growing up, I’d always reach for Gatorade, but now it’s always Liquid IV. Living in Texas, the summers can be brutal, but Liquid IV has truly made my days so much more manageable. It’s definitely my secret weapon to stay hydrated and refreshed, no matter what I’m doing!
