  • Noticeably fast hydration boost
  • Convenient travel-ready packets
  • Wide, crowd-pleasing flavors
  • Mixes easily in cold water
  • Overly sweet, sometimes salty taste
  • High sugar and sodium content
  • Occasional thick, gritty texture
  • Inconsistent flavor enjoyment

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 ā€œthickā€ mouthfeel, undissolved grit, and high sugar/sodium; some prefer diluting with more water or the newer sugar‑free line, and a few question ingredient ā€œcleanlinessā€ or effectiveness versus competitors.

  • Love liquid IV! It helps in so many ways! Cures a hangover and helps keep me hydrated in my gardening/pool days! The taste is pretty spectacular!

  • They’re always around in this house. I personally like to dilute mine more than recommended I find it rather sweet but love the flavors!

  • They taste great. I can't say for sure if they help, but it encourages me to drink a lot more water!

  • Tasty, helps with hydration after working out, but packaging is unideal and could be less wasteful.

  • Used this for my team while working outside in HOT weather, everyone loves the taste and all felt high energy throughout the project since they were well hydrated!

  • I loved how hydrated it made me feel with a decent flavor. It didn't have the overly salty taste like some of its competitors and definitely my go to brand in the hydration packet category.

  • There’s a wide variety of flavors, and it’s nice to have so many options. The golden cherry flavor is the best I’ve had so far. These do give me a weird, mouth-coating feeling that I don’t love. I prefer something less sweet like LMNT, but if I’m offered a liquid IV instead I’ll definitely drink it!

  • Some flavours are really nice, but some are gross. Often it won't fully dissolve in cold water, but might be a function of how much water you're using. I don't know if I feel a big difference, but it does help me drink more water when I know I'm dehydrated.

  • Really great flavors, definitely gives you optimum hydration any time you need it. (If it's the next morning, you might be screwed.) I would highly recommend this product (pineapple and strawberry), but it is expensive.

  • The taste is decent but not the best. I drink these quite a bit when I go hiking or when it gets really hot out in the summer and they have worked really well for me. The only issue I have is that they can be a bit pricy.

  • I want to love liquidIV but it has so much sugar it’s deceiving. You can get the same effects in a healthier packet with other electrolyte powders and NAC capsules. I do think they make a super accesible product that tastes good.

  • I had my tonsils removed and needed a quick and efficient way to hydrate. These little packs worked perfectly and tasted great!

  • Take these on our ice fishing trips to help us stay hydrated! Great taste and work amazing!!

  • A quick and easy way to get hydrated. Whether you have a bit of a hangover or just feel a little off this drink is like magic!

  • I recently completed a multi-day backpacking trip, and I can confidently say that I would not have been able to finish the trip had it not been for Liquid IV. This stuff made my stamina for the hike significantly better, and greatly improved my recovery time as well. I will say, if you are drinking a lot of it within a day (like I was for the purposes of hiking 30 miles a day), the taste can become nauseatingly sweet, and I preferred the less concentrated taste of Nuun Hydration tablets better. However, the portability of these packets is fantastic, and I haven't had a flavor that I didn't like (my favorite is the lemon lime). Would highly recommend these packets for during and post-strenuous exercise!

  • Great product,I myself run a lot and use these a ton to make sure i am staying healthy!

  • Too sweet and didn’t really make me feel hydrated. It didn’t live up to the hype for me.

  • Life saver for my little and teen athletes. From sports, to headaches, to just not feeling great. These have come up big and taste great too.

  • I always have liquid IV in my cabinet. I love this product, and they taste great!
