About Sports drink, PEPSICO QUAKER GATORADE, GATORADE, original, fruit-flavored, ready-to-drink
Gatorade is the original fruit-flavored sports drink, designed to replace the fluid, sugar and electrolytes lost in heavy sweating. It is water with added sugar (and dextrose), flavoring, and the electrolytes sodium and potassium — less sweet than a soda but built for a specific purpose.
Per 100 grams it provides about 26 calories, 6.4 grams of carbohydrate and 5.2 grams of sugar, with around 39 milligrams of sodium and 15 milligrams of potassium and no caffeine. The classic 20-ounce bottle (about 591 grams) comes to roughly 154 calories, 31 grams of sugar, 230 milligrams of sodium and 89 milligrams of potassium.
The sodium and sugar that make a sports drink useful during prolonged, sweaty exercise are the same things that make it a poor everyday beverage — for ordinary days and light activity it is essentially flavored sugar water, and plain water rehydrates just as well. Sports drinks earn their place during intense workouts lasting longer than about an hour; the rest of the time, water is the better default. Lower-calorie versions cut the sugar while keeping the electrolytes.
