Reviews mention

  • 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.

  • These by far are my favorite hydration packets. They don't have that overly salty taste and are very refreshing I haven't had on e flavor I have not liked. They are so easy for on the go even the box is small enough to fit in you purse.They really work too on my hardest outside workday They kept me from crashing out and let me finish what I was doing.

  • Great flavors and the small packs are easy to carry around. I generally use these at conventions with a refillable water bottle. really helps in staying hydrated.

  • My go to and daily necessity for upkeeping our household. We always have this in stock!

  • Super easy to use and carry on the go. I love adding hydration mixes to my water for added benefits. It helps to give me a boost of energy. It's also a great alternative to Powerade or Gatorade since its full of electrolytes. I give this to my kids sometimes when they aren't feeling well because they don't like Powerade/Gatorade. They drink water all the time so it's a super easy way to get them to drink it. I (and my daughters) have tried quite a few flavors already, but there are so many great choices! My favorite flavor is a toss between mango passionfruit and strawberry lemonade. Although every flavor we've tried is excellent!

  • The best cure to a next day hangover. I bring this product with me on vacations and is super easy to pack for where ever you need extra hydration!

  • Love this product. Always great to drink the night before a long workout. Pretty good flavors as well.

  • These taste good, but are a little on the pricier end. When I got a stomach virus abroad, I couldn't hold anything down but liquid iv. Its more effective than generiv brands, but a little pricier.

  • By far my favorite electrolyte drink on the market. Good flavor and I actually feel better after drinking one!! My go to flavor is bomb pop!

  • Works effectively! I felt super hydrated after consuming! I was in the middle of a panic attack and I began to calm down once I hydrated!

  • This is a very simple way to get more electrolytes without having to buy bottles of sports drinks. It's really quick to pour the powder into your own water bottle and shake it together. The taste isn't the best but the hydration power is still great.

    Received a free product from Liquid I.V.
  • I recently tried Liquid IV, and it's amazing! It's super convenient and really helps with hydration. The flavors are delicious, and I felt a noticeable boost in my energy levels. Perfect for workouts or just staying hydrated throughout the day. Highly recommend giving it a try!

  • Wasn’t a huge fan of the flavor but the actual product itself worked wonders for me! Next time I would get a different flavor

  • I think it might partially be a placebo effect, but whenever I am feeling dehydrated I take one of these and do feel better. You have to mix it well and it will still have lots of minerals in the bottom, but I enjoy the lemon-lime flavor. I am looking forward to trying their popsicle flavor this summer.

  • I’m not a huge fan of this. I prefer other brands over it for sure. It’s almost too sweet but tastes fake sweet. I end up watering it down more to get it right.

  • These saved my life when I had a terrible case of Flu A. The hydration is what I needed but with amazing flavor. My only complaint is I wish there were more sugar free flavors!

  • Has a lot of sugar but the flavors are good.

  • I like the concept behind the liquid iv and love to have these in my car and purse. They definitely help with hydration but I wish they had better flavors. The strawberry one is my least favorite but overall I do enjoy these.

  • The perfect hangover cure!! This stuff has saved me from some serious not feeling well moments

  • Flavors are a bit too artificial and there is SO MUCH SUGAR. I prefer LMNT.
