We do not have plans to introduce a zero-calorie sports drink from Gatorade. A zero-calorie beverage provides zero energy to working muscles. Based on the recommendations from the European Food Safety Authority, a zero-calorie beverage doesn’t meet the criteria of a sports drink." Your body sweats to cool itself down. When this happens, you don't just lose water, but also vital electrolytes such as sodium, potassium and chloride. The electrolytes in Gatorade help to replace the electrolytes lost in sweat. This becomes particularly important when exercising for prolonged periods of time or in hot and humid climates Gatorade Cool Blue contains an artificial colour (Brilliant Blue) but the Orange and Tropical Burst variants do not.

Gatorade plastic containers are recyclable (PET #1 polyethylene terephthalate); plastic caps are recyclable and are made of polypropylene (# 5 type plastic).

Gatorade powder mix offers the same efficacy and performance benefits of Gatorade in a bottle. Where only water is available, Gatorade powder mix provides a convenient option to transform water into Gatorade. It's also a great option for multi-serve situations such as for teams on practice or game day.

Carbohydrate fuels athletic performance but high-intensity exercise depletes these stores. Failure to maintain carbohydrate stores can have a negative effect on performance. Through 50 years' experience working with athletes on the field and in our labs, we have developed a 6% carbohydrate plus electrolyte formula to enhance the absorption of fluid during exercise. Gatorade RTD (ready to drink) contains the artificial sweeteners SUCRALOSE and ACESULFAME K (Ace K)

A refillable bottle, powered by aroma Pods, the air up® drinking system allows you to drink only water, but experience cherry, peach, and more! Failure to replace fluid lost through sweating can have a negative effect on your performance such as failure to sustain exercise intensity or increased perception of effort. These consequences can be seen with fluid loss of as little as 2-3% body mass. Drinking Gatorade will help to replace the fluid you lose during exercise. Our plastic bottles do not contain BPA (Bisphenol A). Our bottles are made from what's commonly known as PET (polyethylene terephthalate) #1 and are marked on the bottom of the bottle in the recycling symbol.
