Waterboy Reviews

4.5

Waterboy earns strong reviews as an effective, zero‑sugar electrolyte mix that eases hangovers, cramps, and post‑workout nausea, with flavors like lemon lime, blue raspberry, and watermelon praised when chilled. Reviews also flag polarizing taste—often very salty or chalky for some—and mixed flavor consistency, though many note clean ingredients, thoughtful formulas (including ginger in Weekend Recovery), and clear improvements over earlier versions.

  • I’m an environmental scientist who works outdoors. I’m regularly exposed to high heat and humidity. Additionally, I’m also dealing with what’s suspected to be POTS. Increasing hydration and blood volume is the name of the game for my life, and as an avid Liquid IV user, I thought I wouldn’t stray from old faithful. I recently picked up some of these in an airport, and I think they’re headed to the top of my hydration roster. They’re not as sugary as the liquid iv flavors, and I can taste more salt in them (if you’re looking to replace electrolytes, you’re gonna want a higher sodium content). I usually have to mix Liquid IV in cold water so it’s not as sweet, but have found that I can take Waterboy in cold or room temp water without a problem. I really like the formula they use. It’s also cheaper than Liquid IV!

  • Freaking LOVE this stuff. I am a sweat-er and so I know that I just deplete myself of minerals and electrolytes like crazy, but I never liked other electrolyte mixes (some of them gave me terrible headaches, too). But Waterboy is ELITE. Every flavor tastes delicious, and my body genuinely craves it now. I have one first thing in the morning now, and then whenever I sweat a lot. I like that it's not super salty like LMNT is. Also love that they include ginger in the weekend one! Huge huge fan!!!

  • I got free hydration Waterboy packets for my bachelorette party and had to try them out before gifting them. They are amazing!! Usually hydration packets leave me feeling extremely bloated and not so great afterward but Waterboy does not. The blue raspberry is so, so good and great for a fruity, fun, light drink other than just plain water. 10/10. Definitely will be purchasing again!

  • I have tried a quite a few hydration brands on the market, and i did not really love this one. I have a very high tolerance for salt but this one i find quite salty. I did not find the flavour was very strong either so i felt like i was just drinking salty water which i could make myself at home for free. Personally i prefer Cure Hydration.
