About Gatorade & Our Products
General Product Info
Hydration & Performance
Electrolytes like sodium and potassium help regulate fluid balance, muscle contractions, and nerve signaling. These electrolytes are typically included in sports drink to help replace what you lose in sweat.
Electrolytes can be found in foods and beverages, including sports drinks. Sports drinks like Gatorade provide sodium and potassium at recommended levels to help replace losses from sweat.
Replenishment comes from replacing both fluids and key electrolytes lost to sweat, like sodium and potassium. Sports drinks, like Gatorade and Gatorade Zero, are designed to help replace these electrolytes.
Drinking fluids with sodium can help replace sweat losses. Sodium also helps your body retain, or hold onto, the fluid you drink, which helps with hydration.
Drink fluids consistently throughout the day and increase intake when sweating due to exercise or being in the heat or illness.
Sweating helps cool the body and regulate temperature. Adequately replacing fluid and electrolytes lost to sweat helps support overall hydration.
An effective sports drink provides the fluid and electrolytes to help replace what’s lost in sweat, and (if needed) carbohydrates to support performance. Hydration needs are different for everyone; consider the intensity and duration of activity when choosing the drink for your workout.
Muscles rely on fuel to thrive. Carbohydrate is the body’s powerhouse fuel for moderate to high intensity exercise and without it athletes can lack energy, experience muscle fatigue, and are unable to perform their best at high intensity.
Eating protein shortly after training or competition is important for muscle recovery. A small amount (approximately 20 grams for an average 175 lb athlete) of high-quality, complete protein (containing all the essential amino acids) as soon as possible after athletic activity helps rebuild muscles.For more precise recommendations, recent research estimates ~0.25 g/kg of body weight.
