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
So convenient to use! My partner and I had a bad case of norovirus and we’re very dehydrated but we had these handy and they helped us hydrate as we were sick. I would say the lemon flavor we got were very sweet but I was able to mix it with more water than they recommended.

Have used Liquid I.V. 8+ times and it has always come in handy! Great for traveling and/or being in hot weather where I'm starting to feel dehydrated as well as when I maybe had a little too much to drink the prior night. Of similar options, Liquid I.V. has my preferred flavors and tase, but some of the flavors are still a little too sweet for me. Pina colada is my favorite of the flavors I've tried.
I thought i really liked this product but then realized you do not need added sugar to get the same effect
I love liquid IV! I’ve been using it for 2 or 3 years, tried many different flavors. I love to bring them to the beach, when I know I’m drinking more, and hydrating less from the sun. But as long as I have 2 liquid IV’s a day, I feel completely fine.
Ingredients aren’t very good for you and I didn’t like the taste. Misleading marketing in my opinion
We don't go anywhere without these now, great after a long trail run or a night on the dancefloor. I like that there are lot's of flavor options - my fave is the tangerine.

I use these when i’m traveling and need to stay hydrated (like long flights) and they work well. I don’t love powder drinks to begin with, but these taste pretty good and keep me hydrated so they do the job!
The passion fruit flavor is extremely good. I usually drink these after overindulging in alcoholic beverages and it really helps to reduce the side effects for me. I usually drink this once a day to make sure I’m hydrated because I have a hard time drinking water sometimes.
It does the job but I am not a fan of flavored water. I would recommend the brand if you like flavored water and need some extra hydration

It helps cure a hangover. Drink a liquid IV before you go to bed after a night out or first thing in the morning it helps out A LOT. I wish they had these while I was in college.
Liquid IV is good and super useful. I don’t love the usage of citric acid, but I understand why it is used.
all things considered, these are very solid hydration packets - good taste, dissolves well, and sweetened with actual sugar instead of a substitute (this actually is a good thing, for me: dehydration and low blood sugar go hand-in-hand for me more often than not, so i appreciate that it gives me enough of a boost when i'm starting to physically crash). the pricepoint isn't outrageous, which is good too. generally speaking, i like these, but they don't 'wow' me.
They taste genuinely great. They dissolve really easily, you don't have to keep stirring or shaking as you drink it. I think they're quite effective although I feel like that's a bit hard to measure? But the taste is super enjoyable and I feel good about consuming the product.

Used it for a short time. Didn’t love the taste but I guess it got me hydrated. I’m going to stick to water tho.

This is better than most sports drinks. I don't drink it as much because I'm trying to cut down on sugar.
I really wanted to like this, but I couldn't get past the taste of it - very off and it made my stomach feel queasy afterwards.
okay, i didn't notice much of a difference. the taste was okay though!
My family has been using this product for about six months and plan on using it in the future. It’s a perfect hydrator after a long run or a quick workout. The taste is not my favorite but liquid I.V. tastes much better than a regular electrolyte drink. I like the ability to make it weak or strong dependent on your preference.
Always keep a liquid IV on me, never know when you might need an electrolyte boost. Use them most at music festivals and when I’m at the gym. Lemon lime is my go to flavor as it’s pretty light and easy to drink.

Only gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the flavor can be quite strong. Best to just do half of a stick at a time so it's not too overwhelming. But it does make me feel better, especially after a night of drinking.
