Liquid I.V. reviews and discussion

I am writing a new review for this brand as I have recently discovered an option that doesn't have the thick taste I felt a majority of these powders have. The kids' version tastes a lot better and has a lower sodium content. For me, this is a win-win, as I need to watch my sodium intake for health reasons but also sometimes need the electrolytes after working out or other physically active days.

I love this brand because it offers a way to help me to stay hydrated while having a great-tasting drink. I like that the brand offers multiple different types such as a variation that adds immunity support. These are pretty expensive, but I think it's worth it because these always work.

This is my go-to hangover helper. The lemon-lime is my favorite flavor. **Editing 2023, This used to be my go-to hangover helper but I realised how much sugar was in each packet. I have now switched over to Waterboy. Liquid IV works, but in my opinion Waterboy works better & faster.

I love Liquid IV. I received a sample in a GQ box and pretty much tried every flavor. The limited editions and sugar free items are top notch. The immunity ones are good too. If you are okay with added sugar the cherry, grape, and passion fruit are all recommended.

Are all electrolyte brands the same? I tried 7 brands to find out.

I wish Liquid IV didn't use stevia/low-calorie sweetners. As someone who avoids those kind of ingredients it saddens me that I can no longer consume this product. The sticks are small and easy to transport for on-the-go hydration. If the ingredients were different this would be my go-to brand.

Super effective + easy to use on the-go (thanks to the single sachet packs!). The flavours are pretty good and true to naming i.e. critic flavours are critic forward and not too salty. The pricing is pretty standard for running-related hydration packs, but I definitely plan to sign up for the subscription to save $$$ when I hit peak training season.

Taste is great but they really mess up my stomach (assuming it is the amount of Stevia used in this) I would keep that in mind if you try these and you don't feel great. If they don't though, passionfruit I think is the best flavor in the lineup

Have been using these for years. They are great to keep in a workout bag or a backpack for long hikes. Because it is in a dry pack, it's easier than taking along a bottle of Gatorade or something. Please, please, please read the label though and only drink the recommended amount, as too much or too frequently can be hazardous.

I don’t go without! I drink 1 a day. It’s great for someone who works out, or someone like me who has mad migraines & autoimmune issues… along with absorption issues with vitamins due to an autoimmune disease in my stomach. This brand has saved me! Through the flu, migraines, etc. I’m so grateful for this product. I absolutely love the cotton candy flavor & watermelon, although they are all tasty! Sugar free is likely best for me but I prefer the sugar. Reasonably priced on the website, ships fast, customer service is FANTASTIC, & worth the price. I drink it daily but if you are not like me, a little goes a long way.

I resisted trying Liquid IV for a long time because I really enjoy some of their competitors, and the price felt a little high comparably. However, I just moved down to Austin, and in the heat, you kind of need all the help you can get with hydration. A few fitness influencers I follow love the brand so I decided to give the watermelon flavor a try. I really actually love the product- it dissolves easily, the flavor is good, and you can immediately feel the impact- whether you have been in the heat, are feeling hungover, or just want some precautionary hydration!

My husband and I love liquid IV! There are so many delicious flavors that we have tried. There have been a few flavors we didn’t like but that’s personal preference. It keeps us super hydrated which is amazing!

Oh my god this are good n the ones for kids are amazing.. the different taste as well.. I like that my son stay hydrated while been in school

The association is real In our household. My girlfriend uses this almost everyday! She plays sports and it’s an easy hydration tool. Ps. Good for stomach bugs as well, gaterade who?

I like Liquid IV's taste and flavors, but the cost is pretty ridiculous in my opinion, especially compared to a lot of other brands. Salt as electrolytes seems like one of the bigger marketing miracles (schemes?) of the 2020s. I like that they've come out with no or low sugar options. I still pick Liquid IV up for travel on occasion, but I think you can find better value in other brands.

Liquid I.V. is my go-to when I’m feeling dehydrated or just need a boost, especially after workouts or long days in the sun. It mixes easily, tastes good and really does help me feel better fast. It’s more expensive than regular electrolyte drinks, but the convenience and effectiveness make it worth it for me. Definitely a staple in my bag when I travel or hit the gym.

Love Liquid I.V you cannot go wrong with any flavor. I do feel like each little packet It gives you the hydration you need for an occasion you need it! I would especially recommend for those dehydrated hang over days.

I really love Liquid I.V.—they’re super convenient and easy to use. I always keep a packet in my purse or backpack when I’m on the go, whether I’m traveling, heading into the office, working out, or on the trails. As an avid hiker, they’ve saved me more than a few times, especially during the summer months! I also love the variety of flavors and that they offer sugar-free and energy options. My only gripe is the price—they can get a bit expensive, so I usually stock up at Costco to keep it budget-friendly.

Once in a while i find challenging to keep up with all the hydration I need, especially during summer when I'm chasing my boys around. Liquid IV gives me a boost and helps me stay active, hydrated, and keep up with hydration. A little bit of flavor goes a long way and helps me drink more water throughout the day without intaking too much sugar or get a migraine. I love that it has electrolytes and vitamins. It mixes easily with regular water and easy to sip on or drink. Now I don't purely rely on one packet all day, I still keep up with my hydration as that's super important for my body. My only downfall is that I find these packets having too much sodium. This is great for a road trip, flying, and hiking as it helps replenish electrolytes my body needs. Taking a packet on the plane is super helpful as I can't have water going through airport security. I simply take an empty 40oz water bottle with me and then once I pass security I pour the packet with just regular water. It helps me and it helps the airport. Overall, a great product to have on hand.

They have various flavors. I think I liked like lime the most. It mixes well. It does seem to hydrate compared to other that I tried. A lot of sodium tho.

Liquid IV does what it says it does- hydrate you. My son who plays football in 100+ heat uses it to rehydrate and it’s a mainstay in my backpack for trips to higher altitudes like Colorado. That said, the taste packs a punch with lots of sugar (and a bit of an artificial aftertaste). The only brand that is sweeter is prime (which I avoid because it is too sweet)!
