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.

By far the best powder I’ve mixed with my water. It doesn’t give me an aftertaste which is what I’ve experienced with other brands. The electrolytes are very powerful & fast, as I feel hydration within minutes of drinking this. I enjoy the cherry, tropical punch, & passion fruit are my top 3. But, the brand offers a variety of different flavors & does well of matching the taste to noted flavors. The individual packets are super convenient, as they fit in all my purses & I keep packets everywhere.

I think I drink this nearly every day. In my cabinet I have my coffee, tea, and Liquid IV. I really enjoy all of the flavors I've tried, and most of the time I feel I only need to use half of a stick to extend my usage. My favorite flavor is the pina colada, it is so spot on. Also regularly buying Tropical Punch and Strawberry Lemonade.

i don’t get this at all. it’s basically a high concentration of sugar and salt in a packet, which can be achieved in a much better tasting way. if i were to ever use these again, I would definitely go for the sugar free formulation.

These are the best hangover cures! 👏🏻 They are also my favorite for traveling. It’s hard for me to drink so much water when I’m on the go but with liquid I.V I always feel on top of my game!

I frequently get migraines and have been drinking a liquid iv every morning. I’ve tried strawberry, golden cherry, orange, peach and lemon. All the flavors are great. I can taste the flavor and a bit of the sodium but not too bad.

The first time I tried Liquid I.V. - I decidedly said it was not for me. So what made me change my mind to give this a 5 star review? Well, let's start from the beginning. We were in Florida during the hottest days of the Summer and someone had brought a pack of the Lemon Limes along. I put one pack in a water bottle and instantly thought it was far too salty and tasted like ocean water. Keep reading, though because I learned later on that, while I did not like the Lemon Lime, the other flavors are actually tasty as heck! It was almost a whole year late that I went out and bought a pack on my own. Our office is obsessed with these things - at 4:00pm every day, my boss walks around the office and makes sure everyone has their daily Liquid I.V. I always turned them down because of my first experience. But, as time went on, I started to wonder if not liking them was just a me thing. I was also feeling like my body wasn't getting enough hydration - especially on gym days - and I needed something to supplement my typical water intake. So I went to Target, stared at the whole section, and bought two that day. Tropical Punch Hydration Multiplier and the Hydration Multiplier+ with Immune Support Tangerine Flavor. Let me tell you - these flavors are SO good and it really works! The next day I wasn't feeling dehydrated like I had the previous days after working out. Honestly, I was even looking forward to my next one! So all this to say - If you've tried these in the past and didn't like them, try a different flavor! There are so many out there, you're bound to find one that you really like. And, if you haven't tried them before, make sure you don't give up just because of one flavor that isn't for you.

I purchased this product because I’m typically not one to like to drink water plain. When I brought it home, my daughter told me that it was gross. I’m not one to base my opinion on others so I tried it. I didn’t stir well enough and my straw sucked up the contents from the bottom of my cup so definitely stir or shake well. It is pretty salty but I have learned to expect that from some of those drinks. It isn’t a sweet taste but it isn’t terrible. It isn’t my go to when flavoring my water but will use it.

Before trying Liquid IV, I started on a medicine that requires proper hydration to prevent the negative side effect of headaches. I felt like it was so tough to drink enough water to be fully hydrated. I decided to give Liquid IV a try and I have been hooked ever since! I drink one daily and I haven't had any dehydration headaches! You should definitely give it a try - the passionfruit flavor is my favorite!

I use liquid IV almost every day, and find it to be what I need for someone who worries about not drinking enough water + energy levels. I’m strictly a water drinker - I don’t like sodas, Gatorade, or other extremely flavorful drinks. liquid IV isn’t overly strong with flavor, and if I find it is I can always add less powder. My favorite is the Energy multiplier, which I use when I want a break from coffee with added boost of electrolytes. I’m not even a huge ginger fan and still the lemon ginger flavor is my favorite, it’s not too overpowering. It’s my go to lunch time drink, and especially usefully before a night out.

I’m not one that enjoys drinking water at all. One of these babies a day and I have never felt better in my life!!! The taste can be off putting at first, but once you find your flavor you’ll be golden!

I’m always on the go and it’s hard to remember to drink water or even stay hydrated! Using liquid IV it betters the flavor of my water and keeps me hydrated! I even give it to my kids when they don’t want to drink water lol

I find the taste overpowering, and usually need to dilute the product with water to make it more palatable. However, once diluted, the flavor is still present but not as overwhelming. Despite the taste, Liquid IV is an effective way to stay hydrated. The product contains a blend of electrolytes and vitamins that can help replenish fluids and nutrients lost during exercise or travel. Additionally, the product is low in sugar and calories, making it a healthier alternative to sugary sports drinks. Another positive of Liquid IV is its convenience. The individual packets are easy to pack for travel or to bring to the gym, and they dissolve quickly in water, so there's no need to shake or stir. The product is also affordable, especially when compared to other hydration products on the market. Overall, if you're looking for a convenient and effective way to stay hydrated, Liquid IV is worth considering. While the taste may not be for everyone, the benefits of the product are clear. Just keep in mind that you may need to dilute the product to make it more enjoyable to drink.

great thing about Liquid I.V is that it's made with high-quality, clean ingredients. It contains no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors, and is non-GMO, gluten-free, and vegan.

I tried this product and it was fine, but high in added sugar.
Feedback
Decrease sugar amount anqd don't replace with an ultra sweet sugar alternative, replace with a natural and mild flavor.

It works! I usually keep this ready to drink after a night out and I never have hangovers. However, it does have a lot of artificial ingredients and a lot of sugar making the taste a bit artificial. There are better alternatives with better ingredients out there!
Feedback
Increased electrolytes that you can definitely taste. The Lemon Lime flavor could use a bit more citrus and a bit less saltiness

Absolutely love liquid iv! It’s an essential and helps us so much especially with our hangovers. I always pack it for my trips as well. It’s refreshing and I have tried multiple flavors and life them all

Liquid IV is the best electrolyte drink mix because it’s reliably tasty, perfectly salty, and cost effective. I love buying mine at Costco in the mega packs to make it even more cost effective! You can’t go wrong!

I absolutely love Liquid IV in the Lemon Lime flavor! It’s the perfect way to stay hydrated, especially during long days or intense workouts. The flavor is refreshing and not too sweet, giving it the perfect balance to keep me coming back for more

I do like the rapid hydration but I wish they had more options made without sugar that I could chug in the morning without a sugar spike. It is on the salty side compared to Nuun, but I am an athlete so I need that salt replenishment. Yuzu pineapple with caffeine is my go-to pre workout for when i need gentle energy because I can’t handle normal pre workouts since I don’t consume caffeine outside of this. Love the tangerine vitamin c flavor when I want a little extra vitamin C. Lemon lime sugar free is fine but it’s not may favorite flavor and it still has 5g of carbs. Watermelon is like drinking a liquid hand soap. Lol. Yuckkkk. Those were hard to choke down. Strawberry is fine. It kinda reminds me of those so sour strips candy flavor. Not a real strawberry flavor. Wish they would take note from Korean strawberry flavoring! Golden cherry and tropical punch are the biggest letdowns. Golden cherry tastes like cough syrup and tropical punch has like this pukey smell I can’t get over.

I’ve been using this hydration product for about two years now and I love it so much and I would love to try more from this brand
