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.

Whenever I’m feeling dehydrated, this is my go to! I literally see and feel the difference in a couple of hours. This helps so much, my lips are less chapped, my skin looks better, my headaches are better. I won’t solve all your problems, but it helps you fee better when you forget to drink as much as you should be.

Not a huge fan of the taste. I really wanted to love Liquid I.V. — I’m all for quick hydration and electrolytes — but the flavor just doesn’t do it for me. It’s too sweet and has an artificial aftertaste, even when diluted. It definitely works for hydration, I just wish it tasted lighter and more natural.

Used this during a wicked flu ! Really helpful to keep me hydrated during the purge lol Definitely will be keeping on hand for more regular basis. Flavor is nice , not too sweet. Definitely a life saver! Can't wait to try other flavors!!

I’ve noticed myself drink three times as much water than usual. This has made a huge change with my skin and overall health. I recently tried the tangerine flavor with immune support. This has become a winter staple in my house.

I am a fan of the Liquid IV Strawberry. I like that these come in prepackaged individual packets for ease of tossing in my work bag and taking on the go. I have tried some of the other flavors as well, but strawberry has been my favorite so far.

I have a chronic illness that makes hydration hard. I have tried many different electrolyte brands and Liquid I.V has so far won my #1 spot. I like the lemon lime and strawberry lemonade in particular, not overly sour or salty like some other brands. Plus, it helps my symptoms way more than others I have tried. Recommend for sure!

Quite frankly, I do not get the hype on Liquid IV. Im the kind of person who doesn't like the taste of regular water, but Id prefer regular water over this. It's incredibly sweet and tastes like chemicals, there's no positive things for me. I also believe the price is just insane comparing what you pay for to what you get.

One of my favorite products! I live in Colorado. It's a very dry climate and super hard to stay hydrated. Liquid IV is my go to product to help with my hydration journey. It taste great so it's easy to drink. Super accessible found at lost of locations so easy to buy and works fast. It also helps with leg cramps if you get yourself in a hydration jam! I can't say enough good things about this product. It's always in my house and in my car emergency kit in case I get stuck to make my water go further...

ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE with Liquid IV! It's a little pricey, but worth the added "water" to your daily intake. They have so many amazing flavors and can be found on Amazon and in Walmart! So it's definitely easy to buy. Thumbs up big time!

I think these get the job done and in the beginning of electrolytes becoming popularized there were a great option. However, these days there are better more effective options at better price points. I still purchase from time to time but not my go to.

Not a huge fan of the taste. I really wanted to love Liquid I.V. because I like the idea of quick hydration and all the electrolytes, but the flavor just isn’t for me. It’s a bit too sweet and has that artificial aftertaste, even when I dilute it more than recommended. It does seem to help with hydration, but I wish the taste was lighter and more natural.

I've tried other electrolyte drink packets before, but Liquid IV will always be my favourite. The Lemon Lime flavour is my favourite, especially in the summer because it's so refreshing on a super hot day. It's one of the few electrolyte drinks that doesn't taste super salty so I love that!

I love how easily the product dissolves. This flavor is great as well, a little tart but I enjoy it. Makes you feel like you’re drinking something besides water. I really do feel more hydrated after using. Only improvement is that I do like other brands’ flavors a little more by comparison.

I’ve used Liquid I.V. mainly for hiking and heavy workouts, and I’ll admit—it really does help with hydration. After long hikes or sweaty gym sessions, I feel noticeably more refreshed and less fatigued when I’ve had one. It’s super convenient to keep in my bag and easy to mix into water on the go. That said, I don’t love the taste, especially compared to other electrolyte powders I’ve tried. The Lemon Lime flavor was too salty for me and hard to finish. I ended up needing to mix it into more water than recommended just to make it more drinkable. The Passionfruit flavor was much better, but I still dilute it with extra water to cut down on the saltiness. While I do appreciate the hydration benefits, the strong salty taste and price point mean I only use Liquid I.V. occasionally—for long hikes, tough workouts, or really hot days. It works, but I wouldn’t reach for it daily.

These are a great addition to our water. It helps my husband and I to actually want to drink it which we struggle with. Plus we get extra vitamins and minerals along with added electrolytes. It's super easy to prepare one at home or on the go with just a single serve bottle of water.

Great flavors! I haven't tried a flavor I have not liked. Golden Cherry is my go to. I live in a warm climate, so when its 100+ degrees these help me stay hydrated. Its perfect post warm outdoor run, and I never feel dehydrated later in the day, which has happened when I've only had water post workout.

I would give the regular flavors 3 stars and the sugar free 5 stars. The regular flavors have too much sugar for me, and seem to have more of a salty taste. The sugar free sherbet is the best in my opinion.
Love these electrolytes! They are great at replenishing your hydration or for helping on nights you are drinking. The flavors are great and they aren’t too salty. Only downfall is the price but it’s worth it.
