In cabin baggage
Liquid I.V. sachets is a solid, so it doesn't count toward your 100ml liquids allowance. Pack it in your cabin bag at any size. Officers occasionally swab solid sticks and balms for explosive residue — that's normal, it's not a problem.
In checked luggage
Liquid I.V. travels fine in checked luggage. No leak risk worth worrying about, but pack it in a toiletry bag so it doesn't pick up clothing odours.

FAQs
Is Liquid I.V. a TSA liquid?
No — it's a powder in the sachet, so the 100ml rule doesn't apply. It only becomes a liquid once you mix it with water.
Can I bring 30+ Liquid I.V. sachets in my cabin bag?
Yes. There's no quantity limit on powdered supplements in cabin baggage. US flights have an extra screening process for powders above 350g, but it's a check, not a ban.
What about pre-mixed Liquid I.V.?
Once it's mixed with water, it's a liquid. You're then capped at the standard 100ml container rule.
