A game changer for those with difficult veins
I have several chronic illnesses which means I have to get a lot of regular blood work as well as infusions every 4-6 weeks. I have tiny rolly Polly veins with a lot of scar tissue from IVs and picc lines etc and often get poked 7-8 times before we get a good spot. A nurse suggested I try these packets to see if it could help me &….IT WORKED! The nurse was able to stick me ONCE and get my iv going, that hasn’t happened in almost a decade. Just to share what I did, I start prepping two days before an infusion/blood work. I pour one packet into my 46oz water bottle, I do this twice a day both days. The morning of my infusion I drank a packet and a half in my 46 oz bottle. (I also limit my caffeine). I’ve tried several of the flavors and liked all of them! My favorite is passion fruit, it’s just slightly sweet.

Best hydration assistance I’ve tried as a chronically ill person
I have tried a few products from gatorade, body armor, nuun, and so on to help in assisting my hydration since it is incredibly important that I stay hydrated and get enough electrolytes to not have flares with my conditions. While those products are okay, they never work quite as well or I have specific issues with them that leave things to be desirable compared to this product. Overall I have been buying these consistently for months after several medical complications that leave me dizzy and light headed without. I do not drink many other things besides this or plain water.PROS- It works noticeably better than other products with helping me manage my symptoms- It works FAST for me when I am feeling bad or my blood pressure tanks. I feel better within an hour or two of sipping on a bottle.- While it is very sweet, I actually like the flavor as opposed to just tolerating it- Very easy to put into a water bottle and mix it quickly- Doesn’t have a weird texture or faux carbonation that makes it hard to drink- Easy to travel with if I have to go somewhere away from home for extended periods- For me the price is a little high but worth it after doing the math and comparing it to other options and their pricesCONS- May be to sweet for some people (I have a sweet tooth) – I have only tried Passion Fruit, Strawberry and Grape. I found the Strawberry tastes like I am drinking strawberry nerds and it gave me a headache from how sweet it was, but Passion Fruit and Grape both were fine- It IS pricey to buy as a whole (vs buying a single drink at a store) and compared to the other options out there- Sometimes if you don’t drink it immediately or the same day it can separate and the flavor will be off

Stay Hydated in Disney Parks and Soccer Tournament!
We used these when we traveled to Florida in the summer for a soccer tournament, and at the Disney parks. We all stayed hydrated. Love the passionfruit flavor. I used 1 packet for 16 ounces, and we stayed hydrated!

Best Liquid IV flavor
As far as the Liquid IVs that *just* do hydration only, this flavor is by far the BEST. Passionfruit is soooo good, doesn’t ever get old, not too sweet. Love it.

Get you Electrolyte Mojo back – Quick and Tasty!!!
Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier remedies your cramps, relieves your post-workout energy lag and tastes amazing. I’m 71 years young and an avid cyclist. Distance ranges from 15 to 40 miles throughout the good-weather weeks. This level can really deplete electrolytes leading to nasty cramps, feeling sluggish and making you feel jittery. Mix a packet of Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier with 16 ounces of water and I’m good to go. It tastes great and works fast. By the way, it also has the nod of the World Health Organization. Enjoy!

Marked safe from the bachelorette party!
These things have become a must for me if alcohol is involved! I’ll have it mixed in with the water on the side and sip throughout the day/night. I’ve also waited until the next day and I don’t experience the ‘hangover’ experience. I also use them when I have a cold to help keep my body going. If I want a little more flavor, I’ll add Crystal Light. Overall they work very well and I’ll continue buying these.

Good Hydration Booster
This is great for people that don’t get enough hydration. The only thing we didn’t like was the higher sodium, so people that have to watch their salt intake (heart failure etc.) won’t be able to use it.

No hangovers! Easy hydration.
My husband and I recently went on our first ever all inclusive vacation. (I mean… They just keep bringing you drinks whether you WANT one or not!!!)Not one to be wasteful… I HAD to drink everything they brought…🤷🏼♀️We drank one of these each day and never experienced any of the side effects of drunkenness or hangover.Highly recommended.

Taste is not the best
This product works for hydration if you don’t use too much of it. The taste is not very good. I add a shot of fruit juice to it to cut the fake sweetness and harsh taste. It’s easy to use and you can take the package with you easily. But, warning do not drink this every day as it has a diuretic affect.

Love it!
Make sure you add enough water, or it will taste a bit salty, but I love this stuff! Passion Fruit is definitely my favorite! (Strawberry is alright, watermelon is sour to me, tropical punch isn’t my go too, but it’s good, GUAVA is amazing! But Amazon doesn’t carry it, orange pineapple is good, the energy one is good…)I love Liquid IV. I wish it was on sale more often, I stock up when I can!

Good flavor, not thick or gritty
My favorite brand of electrolytes, I like the passion fruit and tangerine flavors. I drink 90-120 oz of water each day and this helps. It provides a light pleasant flavor ( I mix one packet in my 64oz Yeti) and actually helps me not have to run to the bathroom every 15 minutes.

Taste Good
I bought the passion fruit flavor and the strawberry. I’m currently drinking the passion fruit flavor as we speak and it is actually pretty good. I hear a lot of good things about liquid IV from the other nurses I work with so I figured I’d try it out since it was a prime deal. So far I’m a fan and would definitely buy again. I did read reviews about some people not liking how it makes your water milky looking instead of giving it color to the flavor but if you put it in a bottle where you can’t see the color you don’t even notice. I put mine in a HydraPeak bottle that I love and got on Amazon. Look it up because I definitely recommend that bottle. It keeps my water cold all day long.

Hydration at its easiest.
I wasn’t sold at first bc the price. I figured I wouldn’t knock it til I tried it and I work in a machine shop that gets up to 90-100 degrees on the really hot days. These liquid IV’s keep me hydrated and I don’t have to drink as much water to get there. Don’t think that one of these is all the water you need in a day. U still need to follow whatever guidelines u follow for adequate water consumption. But these kick start staying hydrated from the start of the day and if it gets too hot I might drink another one to replenish electrolytes. Great flavor and less sugar and no dyes compared to sports drinks.

Life saving?
I travel a lot and apparently as I hit my mid 40s I have become incredibly susceptible to dehydration. It put me in the hospital last year on a motorcycle ride in Arizona and almost again this year.When I’m on my trips, and even when I’m home sometimes (if I workout or just don’t drink enough) I get wicked debilitating leg cramps. My hammies seize up, my calves as well and they even begin to twitch on their own. It’s so bad that on flights I’ve had issues in cramped places (bathrooms) where I almost can’t function.Alcohol makes it worse, and unfortunately, I’m a very social person with a very social job. It’s been so bad lately though that I have had to limit myself to one or two drinks in an evening, which is not helpful to my work.I’ve also noticed that my heart rate goes through the roof when I’m having these episodes and I’m wondering how close to a serious heart issue I’ve come to at times.I felt like I was dying and my body was shutting down. My doctor is a bit useless on this and while I try to drink enough, it’s often hard as I am never sure where my next bathroom will be.I tried this stuff and I haven’t felt this good in years. I’m on a trip now half way around the world and I’ve been using the stuff for 4 days. No cramps, no insane unquenchable thirst each morning…I feel AMAZING!This isn’t some BS review. I’m a real person and this product is a miracle to me. I wish I had found it 5 years ago when these symptoms began. I only take it once or twice a day depending on how depleted I feel and that’s all it takes. Beyond that, you can actually feel the energy coming back to your body almost immediately.I also feel less itchy at night, which I didn’t realize was another sign of dehydration.This stuff is freaking awesome. It’s not the best tasting stuff in the world, but it’s more than tolerable for a quick chug at the beginning and/or end of the day. These cramps where so painful and would strike at all times, whether sitting, walking, standing up or worst of all…sleeping, waking me in the middle of the night with agonizing pain in one leg that would often then move to the other leg as well. It was HORRIBLE.I would do commercials for these guys. I feel like this product saved me. FOR REAL!

Great to have on hand when you thought it was a casual night and then you wake up on the floor with no pants on. I suffer from hangover anxiety which makes you want to die. This has helped curb that and way better than a Gatorade.

Hangover remedy, not hangover cure. Use correctly.
This stuff is great. However, it’s not a miracle cure. It’s a hydration multiplier. Meaning Drink one while you’re drinking (or before), followed by plenty of water throughout the duration of your binge (no ice doesn’t count).I work as a bartender for a living and a customer turned me on to these. When used correctly, it’s amazing. And yeah, if not used correctly, It’ll make you feel a little better but not by much. It’s too easy during a rager to forget to drink water in lieu of these. This stuff is basically Gatorade on steroids.

Excellent Hydration but taste, not so much.
This does seem to hydrate better than just using water alone or normal sports drinks. Bought the passion fruit flavor, but if you are looking for a robust flavored sports drink you won’t find that here. While it does hydrate extremely well, the flavor is somewhat vague and undistinct. There is no color to it when mixed other than making the water a Milky whitish color, so there’s nothing visually to assist to the illusion of flavor. It won’t be your favorite beverage by any stretch, but it will hydrate better than most of the highly flavored sport beverages. Recommended, as it works well, but the taste is not for the faint of heart.

Very good, pretty tasty electrolyte replacement
I bought these mostly for functional electrolyte replacement, rather than something than for “tastes good”. However they taste pretty good. If you don’t read the instructions at first (like who does that anyway?) you’ll notice it is super strong.If you DO read the instructions you’ll notice each sleeve is for 16 ounces of water. So, fair warning, in 8 oz or a pint it’s pretty stout.I seem to deplete electrolytes really fast (due to injury) and living in Texas where it’s really hot and humid I have to be very careful. These help me keep healthy and encourage better water intake.This product is

GOOD PRODUCT BUT HAS ITS DRAWBACKS
I will be honest, after I drink this product I do not feel more hydrated. It’s the glasses of water that come after it, when I do. I feel like this product enables your body to be more hydrated by allowing your body to retain hydration better via speedy delivery of electrolytes. But it’s not drinking the product in of itself that provides the hydration. This is just how my body reacts to this and I recommend you test this on your own and see how your body reacts as well.Pros: Taste(I got the passion fruit flavor,delicious), the product works quickly, gives a slight energy boost(b vitamins), is Non-GMO, and it does make you feel more hydrated than you normally would but only after having additional water intake.Cons: Has 500mg of sodium and 11g of added sugar in each stick.Now I understand why this product has this much sodium and sugar. It’s because sugar acts as a light speed nutrient transport. That is why a lot of athletes take supplements with drinks like grape juice so that the nutrients are absorbed quicker. And the sodium helps retain the hydration. BUT this amount of sodium and sugar almost seems like this product is designed for athletes or people who are really active. Ingesting this much sugar and sodium just lounging around the house or office seems unnecessary because you don’t have the physical output to utilize these nutrients effectively. This is especially true if you are drinking multiple sticks a day and if you don’t have the best diet and are ingesting these on top of it. Lastly, the amount of sugar and calories(45 a stick) makes this product not ideal for people who fast and/or on low carb, no sugar, or Keto diets. In summation, I usually just take one stick a day(I do cardio 5 days a week) after workouts around 4pm. I cannot take it in the morning because I fast and I do not take it before bed because of the sugar. Basically if you are looking for something to make you more hydrated that you can sip guiltlessly then this product may not be right for you. But if you are active and are looking for something to get you more hydrated then this product may be exactly what you need. Because after all it does make your more hydrated and tastes great.

Hydrating but sweet
Used this while we were sick with RSV, definitely hydrating? but very sweet. Had to dilute this in 40oz of water in order for it to be tolerable for me. But that kind of defeats the purpose of hydration multiplier if i’m using it with that much water. They should create a less sweetened version.

A slight step up from Gatorade and Powerade
This came highly recommended, and I see it in Costco a lot. I needed to get some hydration packets as I sweat a lot these days and lose a lot of trace minerals, salts, etc. So I purchased this along with several other options.I wish I could give a half star, as it should be 3.5, but the downsides are too much to allow for 4, so 3 it is.1 – WAY too much sugar. 11grams is a LOT. Granted it’s organic pure cane sugar, which is a step up from what most major brand sports drinks offer, but as an electrolyte, sugar is the least necessary to replenish for most diets.2 – Second ingredient is Dextrose, which is fructose corn syrup, or fructose, depending on what it’s made from, but it’s a dried out powdered form of it. It doesn’t indicate the sourcing, but even so, it’s concentrated sugar, and fructose is 1/2 highly toxic. Pared with Sucrose? I’m wondering what the thought process was here in having a secondary sugar product, and having the top two ingredients be sugar. The added sugar makes even less sense when there’s Stevia and Citric acid, so a sweetener and a sweet enhancer. It’s most likely to create a better tasting product to sell more. This is more a marketing tactic than anything, knowing that Gatorade is beloved because it’s essentially sugar water. Problem is this especially makes it something I won’t be purchasing again.3 – Silicon Dioxide? Why? There’s no need to worry about caking with this, as even if the powder forms a solid bond, when it hits water it separates anyhow. At least this tends to just move through the body, but that’s unnecessary. It’s not inherently bad unless it gets past your gut walls.4 – Price point? Why so high? It’s a bit insane how expensive this is. Is it sourcing? Is it certain doctors taking a cut of profits? If there’s a valid reason why your brand is so high when others can keep their prices at a reasonable level and still have great sourcing, then I’m all ears (and a far superior product).So the pros:1 – Decent Potassium level2 – I actually prefer the salt levels, but for most Americans this is actually critical, as we’re generally VERY low in Sodium in general. Bad science on the impact of high sodium and correlations to heart attacks (there’s no science on direct causation, and the correlative science is sketchy at best). Though I do eat a lot of salt, I do tend to sweat a LOT, so if this were less sugary, I might reconsider (except the price point is ridiculous). There’s more hard data on low sodium being dangerous, so this is actually a tremendous positive, potentially higher than the decent Potassium levels. Also, if you take a lot of potassium, you need to balance it out and help your body flush extra with extra sodium, as it then flushes out extra electrolytes, and high potassium is very dangerous.3 – Vitamin’s B3, 6, and 12. Missing the critical 9 though, but good nevertheless. Decent levels, not particularly high compared to other brands but over the recommended levels by a fair amount. Helpful with energy and restoration after a workout (12 helps repair DNA damage).4 – Vitamin C, but at very low levels. Then again this is mostly for cell repair or if you’ve taken on sickness, and cleaning out unwanted elements in cells (so cell flushing of what’s been repaired). Good to add.I mean the positives are great, but the price point and high sugar just kill it.

All around
Look, I know that there’s a thousand different thoughts on what is & isn’t a good hydration drink.Some want it for hydration/electrolyte for workouts/hiking, some want it for electrolytes/energy for workouts/sports, some want it even for curing hangovers… Truth is, it’s the same thing, no matter who makes it or what you use it for!Yes, you can get specialized formulas for anything, but the basic ingredients are all really the same, just in different formats. Some meant for one thing, some for another, some just general supplement.For me personally, I use it for hiking/hunting. It’s not an immediate fix, certainly no cure for anything at all; but a supplement for my diet and exercise that helps me get through some tough times. I hike some really rugged country & I know my body uses lots of stored energy of various kinds. I’ve been in that situation where heat exhaustion or simple depletion has taken you to the brink of complete failure, laying on a ridge with nothing ahead of you, unable to even drink water without throwing it up… trust me, I’ve been to the REAL END of things a time or two. I put one of these (sometimes two) in by camelpak and I don’t look back again. I’ve never had those problems again since I started doing it, and therefore I can swear by it. This won’t give you energy, this won’t make you stronger, this won’t make you better in any way! What this does is keep you from falling on your face & dying because you got in over your head & didn’t bring the proper nutrition with you for your body to live on until you found the right way to do it.End of the day, all these kinds of drink mixes are a quick-fix, meant to help & support, and they do. Of all the ones I’ve tried, this one is pretty damned good. It tastes good, makes me feel good, it shipped out fast, I use it lots… BUT I know what it is, and so should you!

My dry mouth was gone in less than 2 hours
For someone who had a medical bill of $4000 just for I.V. I have to say this is an amazing product. I suffer from severe dehydration to the point my urine is brown. I drank one 24 ounce cup of this and the next time I went to the bathroom my urine was a mild yellow. This is a phenomenal improvement with just one packet. Something else I noticed was that because I was dehydrated I was also constipated so I constantly going to the bathroom now which hasn’t happened for me in years. I’ve had 2 bowel movements in a span of 1-3 hours. Usually I’d be lucky to get 1 every other day. It’s only been a day.. My dry mouth is gone and I notice I’m in less pain. I would say this could help with weight loss because in order to lose fat, fat cells have to be replaced with water and this product is a good way to achieve that. I only gave it 4 stars because of taste and price. The taste isn’t good and its kind of thick. Best to add a little of your favorite juice. Ironically I add powerade. Best served cold.

Absolute life saver for travel, long work hours AND hang overs!
I now need this when I travel for jetlag, work more than 12 hour shifts, and/or had too much to drink. Absolute life saver. Real deal effective. Just jug it and get past the taste for the benefits because it’ll change your life to survive the day. Shake off the fatigue, brain fog, heaviness, dehydration and headache. Love it! Need it. I travel every month where I work a week or two at a time 14 to 17hr shifts and then often at the end we go out to reset.
