  • 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 “thick” mouthfeel, undissolved grit, and high sugar/sodium; some prefer diluting with more water or the newer sugar‑free line, and a few question ingredient “cleanliness” or effectiveness versus competitors.

  • One of the standout features of Liquid I.V. is its hydration technology, which is designed to deliver water and essential electrolytes to the body more efficiently than water alone. The brand claims that one serving of Liquid I.V. can provide the same hydration as drinking two to three bottles of water. Liquid I.V. is available in a variety of flavors, including Lemon Lime, Acai Berry, and Passion Fruit. Each flavor is made with high-quality ingredients and is free from artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives. Another unique aspect of Liquid I.V. is its commitment to social responsibility. The brand has partnered with non-profit organizations to provide hydration relief to people in need around the world. This is a significant factor for many consumers who prioritize ethical and sustainable practices when making purchasing decisions.

    The brand's commitment to social responsibility is also commendable. If you're looking for a hydration product that delivers more efficient hydration and supports a good cause, Liquid I.V. is definitely worth considering.

  • These are so easy to carry around and definitely come in handy! I mix them in my water bottle and it helps with the headaches/migraines that I semi-regularly get. The lemon flavor is a bit chalky, but the other flavors are great.

  • Just a crucial add to any long-weekend trip. Solid flavor, but more importantly genuinely feels like it helps rehydrate.

  • Great product for hydration. Does have a salty taste but hey that’s what we’re taking for. High quality!! Variety of flavors to choose from!

  • I love that I can find your product in the middle of a small mountain town when I need it the most. It's saved me on many alpinism occasions. I wouldn't say it was groundbreaking flavor or any different than another electrolyte drink or pack. Great overall but nothing special.

    Maybe less sugar?

  • This really came in clutch when we’re active outdoors and need electrolytes immediately. Our family is quite active and it’s nice to optimize your water drinking. Some flavors are easier to down than others. Strawberry has been one of our favorites but green tea might be one of our least favorite. The individual packets are easier to store when we’re on the go especially for hikes.

  • I use these if I know I'm going to have a long day, a night out or feeling dehydrated. The lemon lime flavor is good. Easy to pack on trips or if you're on the go!

  • Life savor Taste amazing Great package

  • Liquid I.V. is my go to whenever I feel a headache coming on, at the end of a 12 hour shift where I didn't drink water, or when I need a boost of energy but don't want coffee. The flavors are great alone or combined (hydrating + energy packs). Travel friendly as well.

    Try the flavors before you invest in an entire pack, if you can, and take advantage of the bundles on their website.

  • This product is legit part of my daily life. I live in an extremely dry climate no matter the season and this really helps supplement my daily water intake. The flavors are delicious - the strawberry is my favorite! Also, super helpful when you are active and need a little electrolyte replenishment.

    Costco has the best deal on these by far so I recommend purchasing there!

  • These don’t really seem to work for me & are super sugary. There’s just a lot of extra added sugar and unhealthy things that aren’t necessary when there’s so many natural alternatives

    Feedback

    Use more natural ingredients & less sugar

  • Delicious, good electrolyte replacement without all the sugar of Gatorade or other products. Feels relatively cheaper compared to Nuun products.

    Feedback

    Great availability.

  • I don't think these work as well on me as with others. They help to keep you hydrated after a night out, however I don't love the taste as they're a bit sweet for my liking.

    Feedback

    I think they could expand their flavor options

  • My favorite thing to throw in a bag on my way to the gym or a class. Great variety of flavors and they’re always adding more.

    Feedback

    Some of the flavors are strong, I usually use more water than the packaging suggests.

  • Tried this a few times on and off through the years. I first started using this to help with any day after hangovers. I did not really notice much of a difference and it actually made me more nauseous when I drank it. After time had passed, I was told it works if you drink it in between drinking. I guess it worked better, but only because you were still drinking water in between drinks.

  • A great way to get some vitamins and many electrolytes in. I take these several times a week to avoid getting run down. They make a difference in my hot yoga practice so I can really tell in this instance. One thing to note is they are a bit sweet and that isn’t the best sometimes.

    I wish the flavors were a little less sweet! I prefer lemonade the best.

  • Can't live without Liquid IV! Especially when I travel, consume alcohol, or those days when I'm feeling under the weather. Hydration is a remedy to common symptoms in your day to day, and Liquid IV comes it handy!

    Feedback

    Too sweet for me but not a problem since I'll dilute with more water.

  • After a night out, liquid IV is the only thing that revives me. I always feel so much better!

  • These are great. Portable with good tasting flavor options. The only negative is the amount of sugar in each
