  • 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.

  • I really enjoy Liquid IV for days when I need a little extra hydration. I respect the research and easy-to-understand explanation on the packaging about the sugar providing quicker hydration. I think that's a difficult concept to share with folks and they've done a good job with that. They are pretty tasty, but a little too salty for my taste, so I add a little extra water. Love that you can find them in individual packets. They're also pretty pricey! So I try to limit them to when I feel like I really need them. Overall great product that can supplement your wellness and workout routine!

  • I love using these when I’m hiking! They taste really good and I notice a difference in my hydration level, especially when it’s hot out. These are also amazing for travel.

  • These are the best!!! Whenever I’m hungover I take one of these the next day and it helps me a lot. Or whenever I need hydration, this cures it instantly.

  • One of the first hydration and electrolyte products I ever used and still enters my rotation of supplements often. Has never failed t help me prepare for and recover from training sessions or if I happen to be lacking in hydration on a particular day,

  • It works but is super sweet, almost undrinkable to me because it was so sweet. very effective hangover recovery.

  • Love this electrolyte replacement drink! I workout 6 times a week and drink one of these after each workout.

  • great tasting but in my opinion, only when added to a 40 oz flask! its too salty when just added to regular 16 oz water bottle but thats just my preference.

  • Too sweet. Too much sugar. I have to dilute it to enjoy it. Although this brand is more accessible and affordable. There are better electrolyte packets.

  • Collagen Peptides have become a staple in my daily routine, and I couldn't be happier with the results. With its blend of hydrolyzed bovine hide collagen peptides and fermented eggshell membrane collagen, this supplement has enhanced my skin's appearance, supported my joint health, and contributed to an overall sense of well-being. The fact that it is BPA-free, nut-free, non-GMO, dairy-free, and gluten-free further adds to its appeal. If you're looking for a high-quality collagen supplement that delivers on its promises and fits seamlessly into a healthy lifestyle, look no further. Trust me, your skin, joints, and overall health will thank you for it!

  • Love the taste. Better than Nuun. However, the number one ingredient is pure cane sugar. Whatever gets me to drink water!

  • I've had hundreds of Liquid IVs - they provide the hydration needed whether for hangovers or while sick. I usually take one before drinking and/or the morning after. They taste good but that's probably because of the high sugar content. I think there are other more innovative brands in this space, however I do like the product.

  • Obsessed with liquid I.V! It’s definitely my go to drink/supplement for when I’m sick, dehydrated, hungover, etc! I haven’t found a different brand that works as well as liquid IV to rebalanced out your system when you’re not feeling the best. I like that there are a variety of flavors - I haven’t tried them all but the lemon lime flavor is my favorite. I also love that they come in individual packets which makes it so easy for travel and to take on the go. I always have some in my bag or backpack! Sometimes I even drink it before I go out for the night to make sure that my body stays hydrated :) Definitely will continue to purchase.
