Sodium

  • When you sweat, your body loses about 900 to 1400 milligrams of sodium per liter of sweat.
  • Sodium is an important component of blood.

Type of Sugar

Amount of Sugar

What are the differences between Gatorade & Powerade?

  • Gatorade is 6% sugar, whereas Powerade is 8% sugar.
  • Gatorade uses normal glucose whereas Powerade uses a different type of glucose, polymers.
  • Powerade uses Glucose polymers such as maltodextrin and it’s absorbed and used more quickly than just regular glucose.
  • In Gatorade, the sugar that’s being used is Sucrose and that’s a Disaccharide. Glucose + Fructose = SUCROSE

  • There are only three main differences between the two and that’s the amount of sodium used, the amount of sugar used, and the type of sugar used.

Sodium

  • The sodium content of Gatorade is about 450 milligrams per liter; for Powerade, it’s 225 milligrams per litre.

Water

Present

Water

Chemical Formula:

Pottassium Citrate

  • Transparent fluid and is a common chemical substance that is essential for the survival of all known forms of life.

Present

Pottassium Citrate (Salt)

Chemical Formula:

C6H5K3O7

  • Your body rapidly absorbs potassium citrate when it touches your mouth and reduces the acidic nature of urine.
  • Since potassium citrate is considered as an electrolyte, this can have a huge effect in the control of the body's fluid balance.
  • Aside from this, this substance can also help the heart to function.

Present

Phenylalanine

Phenylalanine

Chemical Formula:

C9H11NO2

Present

Monopotassium phosphate

  • An amino acid, nonpolar and it’s hydrophobic.

Present

Monopotassium phosphate

Chemical Formula:

Sucrose (Disaccharide)

Prsent

Not present

  • Monopotassium phosphate is a soluble salt which is used as a fertilizer, food and drinks.
  • Source of phosphorus and potassium (which is an electrolyte).
  • In the drink it keeps the ingredients from clumping together and the PH from changing.

Sucrose (Disaccharide - Table Sugar)

(Present in Gatorade)

Maltodextrin (Polysaccharide)

Chemical Formula:

C12H22O11

Not Present

Present

  • Sucrose is composed of two simple sugar molecules, glucose and fructose, that are chemically attached to form the disaccharide.
  • The sucrose needs to undergo some digestion and metabolism before it gets to where it needs to go.

Maltodextrin (Polysaccharide)

(Present in Powerade)

Chemical Formula:

C6nH(10n+2)O(5n+1)

  • Maltodextrin is a polysaccharideand produced by starch by hydrolysis.
  • Digestive system breaks it down into simple sugars it’s absorbed.
