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.

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!
Honestly, I didn't know how Liquid I.V. really worked on me until one time I came home super dehydrated and i opened a packaged and put it in my water, a few sips later, I was feeling super hydrated and my body was feeling strong again. I am excited about trying their sugar free option
Of all the options for electrolytes and hydrations supplements, I hate to say that Liquid IV is probably the most medicinal tasting and one of the highest in sugar. It does get the job done and is very convenient especially for when playing sports since you can just drop it in any bottle size.
Super tasty and convenient. Has a bit more sugar than some of the other brand so prefer those to that one. I saw recently they have one with less or 00 sugar so might try that.
Liquid IV does live up to its reputation as a quick and convenient way to stay hydrated. The product comes in various flavors, and I found them to be quite pleasant. Mixing one packet with water, as instructed, resulted in a flavorful and refreshing drink!
