Reviews mention

  • Fast-acting hydration boost
  • Convenient travel-friendly packets
  • Wide, crowd-pleasing flavors
  • Smooth, easy dissolving powder
  • Overly sweet flavor profiles
  • Noticeable salty aftertaste
  • High sugar and sodium content
  • Occasional clumping texture

Liquid I.V. earns strong reviews for fast, noticeable hydration—especially after workouts, heat, travel, or a night out—while convenient single-serve packets and broad flavor variety (standouts include Lemon Lime, Strawberry, Passion Fruit, Watermelon, Golden Cherry) make it easy to use. Reviews also flag consistent drawbacks: many flavors taste overly sweet or salty, some feel thick or artificial, and the added sugar and sodium (with a newer sugar‑free line noted) are frequent concerns; mixing can clump and flavor hit-or-miss. Overall, the brand is effective but polarizing on taste and ingredients.

  • A product I love, a staple in my household I use these almost daily for a mix of the flavor and the rehydration it provides. My favorite flavor is definitely the ginger lemonflavor

  • I love how these made me feel very hydrated. The only negative was the amount of sugar. Some flavors like acai were overly sweet. I had to use over 30 oz of water to dilute it enough to enjoy.

  • The flavor I had was lemon lime and it's definitely not super sweet but I did keep me super hydrated. It helps a lot since I'm pregnant and need constant hydration. It's definitely better than plain water and helps me drink more.

  • Easy powder that can easily be added to water or any liquid and hydrates you!

  • I did enjoy these water flavoring/ rehydration packets. I’m not a huge flavored water person but, these were some of the better ones I’ve tried! Love that it adds extra hydration to the water, as well!

  • It has a funny aftertaste

  • It works! Good taste. Hydrating

  • I was given a couple of free samples of this. I had been feeling low of energy for quite some time due to the menopause. I tried one whilst at work and it really made a difference to how I felt. My thinking was a lot clearer and I felt a lot more energy within myself. I don't know if it was a subconscious thing but I have it give it a 5* because at the time of using it (and the other ones I have subsequently used) this has had the same effect.

  • I heard about this from my son. He works out at a gym 5 days a week and sweats a lot. He started using this after a suggestion from another weightlifter. He was so pleased with the results that he reccomended I try it. The taste wasn't very good, it did its job. I'll need to try a couple of different flavors. I'd much rather use this than drink Gatorade or something like that.

  • I wish I loved these as much as everyone else does. I really can’t get behind the flavors I think they can be a bit overpowering. I also don’t know if I believe it actually keeps you more hydrated.

  • Liquid I.V. is a game-changer! The taste is not only great but perfectly balanced, avoiding the overwhelming intensity found in some hydration products. Its refreshing flavor is subtle yet delicious, making it a joy to drink throughout the day. Staying hydrated has never been this enjoyable. Liquid I.V. has struck the ideal harmony between taste and effectiveness, ensuring a pleasant hydration experience without compromising on the strength of its benefits.

  • Great product especially when dehydrated or after a night out!

  • Liquid IV is my go too whenever Im not feeling 100%, whether it be hungover, dehydrated, or recovering from a workout. Taste great, especially the grape flavor. Love that I can take the little powder packs wherever I go (and I do)

  • This powder to liquid hydration supplement works well, is easy to use and has a great flavor. I like the packets because they are easy to pack in a bag and bring on a trip. They dissolve in water quickly.

  • I like it and it definitely does the shop but its really sugar and tastes super sweet.

  • Liquid IV has helped me in so many ways, whether it’s hydration after a long run or helping me cure a hangover. I will always get a bag of Liquid IVs when I go to the grocery.

  • My family LOVES liquid I.V. here in Florida its a must during our really got simmer months. We get ours at Costcos and the value its perfect for the amout that comes in a bag. I do wish they have more flavors in one bag then just 2 but still worth the buy!

  • Better electrolytes out there. Didn’t find it hydrating enough

  • I really enjoy Liquid IV. They are easy to use, and once added to water, don't leave behind any chunks of powder. They taste really great and make water drinking a bit more enjoyable.
