Gatorade: Rapidly Replace What Athletes Lose During Activity
Gatorade is scientifically formulated to rapidly replace what athletes lose
during activity so they can perform at their best. Its proprietary formula of
electrolytes, carbohydrates, and flavor – developed and tested since 1965 – is
the optimal hydration solution to use before, during, and after training and
competition.
What's In It?
Gatorade Thirst Quencher has been scientifically formulated to provide athletes
an optimal choice for hydration before, during and after training and
competition. The specific formulation – which has been tested and retested in
numerous lab settings since 1965 – contains four key components:
Electrolytes
Gatorade Thirst Quencher contains a blend of lab-tested electrolytes – sodium,
potassium and chloride – to replenish the minerals athletes lose through sweat
during exercise and competition. (1, 2, 3) Electrolytes help regulate a number
of body functions, and athletes with a substantial electrolyte deficit may
experience muscle cramping, heat stress and fatigue. In addition to replacing
what is lost through sweat, the electrolytes in Gatorade trigger activation of
the body’s thirst mechanism, encouraging athletes to fully hydrate themselves.
(1, 4)
Flavor
Studies have shown people are apt to hydrate themselves more completely with
flavored beverages as opposed to unflavored water. (4) Each Gatorade flavor
endures a rigorous array of tests to ensure that its great taste falls within a
range that encourages athletes to adequately hydrate themselves, regardless of
their perceived hydration needs, which can often be misleading. (10)
Carbohydrates
During lab tests, the 6% carbohydrate solution in Gatorade (14 grams per 8 oz)
has repeatedly demonstrated itself to be the optimal percentage for speeding
fluid and energy back into the body. (5, 6) The right mix of glucose, sucrose
and fructose assures rapid fluid delivery (7) and use of carbohydrates by the
body. 8 Higher concentrations of carbohydrates or carbohydrate mixes different
from Gatorade have been shown to actually slow overall fluid absorption, and
they do not produce better performance. (9, 10)
Maximized Fluid Osmolality
Research shows that with the right types and amounts of carbohydrates, fluid
absorption occurs as quickly as water as long as the osmolality (particle
content of the fluid) is close to that of blood (280 mOsm/kg). Gatorade features
a 6% carbohydrate formula that ranges between 280 and 340 mOsm/kg, enabling
Gatorade to promote faster fluid absorption than other sports drinks with higher
carbohydrate concentrations and osmolality levels.
