  • Fast-acting hydration boost
  • Convenient travel-friendly packets
  • Wide, crowd-pleasing flavors
  • Smooth, easy dissolving powder
  • Overly sweet flavor profiles
  • Noticeable salty aftertaste
  • High sugar and sodium content
  • Occasional clumping texture

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.

  • I love drinking these when I go to music festivals especially in the summer. I recently tried the sugar free white peach flavor, which was probably my favorite.

  • While breastfeeding and pumping I was having some troubles staying as hydrated as I should until I started drinking Liquid IV twice a day. I had never felt better after drinking it.

  • a life saver after long beach days, summer hikes, and hangovers. We rely on them often and they never disappoint.

  • It's an ok product. I am not sure if it does what it claims it does, as I don't feel any more satiated versus a regular bottle of water. With that said, the grape flavor (which is hard to find) is the best flavor, and I will mix it with 20 oz of water, rather than the standard bottle of water. It tastes fantastic over ice, and not so great at room temperature. It is a superior product compared to the "g" brand out there.

  • I love keeping Liquid IV on hand to stave off hangovers - drink one at the end of your night and you'll feel significantly better the next day! I've only tried the lemon-lime flavor, but I think it's delicious.

  • As an avid traveler for both work and play Liquid IV is a life-saver. Spending so much time in planes really drys you out! We buy Liquid IV in bulk and find it very hydrating and a must for any sort of travel.

  • I LOVE liquid IV. I always mix one up before lake days or when I know I won't be drinking as much water to stay hydrated!

  • Not my go-to electrolytes–the stevia taste of the regular ones is way too strong.

  • I love using these when I know I'm going to be sweating and needing those additional electrolytes. These are super tasty and mix easily. I end up getting the large bag and then swapping flavors out with my friends.

  • I personally don’t love the taste but if you struggle getting water in and don't like drinking plain water this is a great supplement.

  • Liquid IV is my headache drink go to. The lemon lime is my personal favorite, the only one I haven’t liked is the strawberry variety. They do taste better cold

  • It was too sweet for me when I used the whole packet but it definitely works to rehydrate. It's not something I regularly need in my panty, but I like having them on hand in my travel bags.

  • Use this for outdoor days. And to help with getting hydrated. Family members use them as well.

  • Love these for days where I need extra hydration! These were a lifesaver when I was nursing & boosted my supply. I'm not the biggest fan of the taste, but it's worth it.

  • I use liquid iv for myself and family when we are under the weather it keeps us hydrated! It has a great taste!

  • Liquid IV is a game-changer when it comes to hydration and replenishing electrolytes. As someone who leads an active lifestyle, I've found their hydration multiplier packets to be incredibly effective and convenient. What sets Liquid IV apart is their Cellular Transport Technology (CTT®), which enhances the absorption of water and nutrients into the bloodstream. This means that I can quickly rehydrate and feel the benefits faster than with regular water alone. I often use Liquid IV after intense workouts or on hot days when I need to replenish my electrolytes quickly. The packets are easy to carry around, and I can simply mix them with water whenever and wherever I need a hydration boost. Their flavors are also delicious and refreshing. From classic Lemon Lime to more unique options like Açaí Berry and Passion Fruit, each one tastes great, making it enjoyable to stay hydrated. One of the things I appreciate the most about Liquid IV is their commitment to making a positive impact. They have a "Giveback Mission" and partner with various organizations to provide hydration support to communities in need around the world. Knowing that my purchase is contributing to a good cause makes me even more loyal to the brand. Overall, Liquid IV has become an essential part of my hydration routine. It's a reliable and effective way to stay hydrated, especially during physically demanding activities, and their dedication to giving back makes it a brand I'm proud to support.
