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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
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!
My go to for when I need to replenish electrolytes or when I’m feeling dehydrated. Gives me a boost of energy as well. Yummy flavors and not overly sweet.

Sooo yummy i love the bomb pop one or the strawberry one sooo much it’s so hydrating! I would recommend it to anti athletes or anyone looking for extra hydration.
Loveddd it
Liquid IV if definitely effective and tasty but I don’t like how much added sugar some of them have. It’s a good thing to add to a mixed drink though.
My favorite electrolytes! Love the sugar free rainbow sherbet flavor. Only con is they don’t have a lot of sugar free flavors
