Gatorlyte Powders & Bottles

Gatorlyte was developed by GSSI scientists specifically for one purpose: to help the body rehydrate faster than water alone. A specialized 5-electrolyte blend to help replace losses and carbohydrates to accelerate fluid absorption.

Rapid rehydration

When you need to rehydrate fast, after heavy outdoor work in the heat, intense physical activity, or any situation with substantial fluid and electrolyte loss — plain water might not be enough.

Science shows that adding low amounts of carbohydrate can help speed up fluid absorption vs. plain water.
