If you’re participating in high-intensity workouts lasting more than 45 minutes to an hour, sports drinks may help replenish your body’s electrolyte stores better than water.

Sports drinks like Gatorade, Powerade, and All Sport can give you a needed energy boost during your activity. They are designed to rapidly replace fluids and to increase the sugar (glucose) circulating in your blood.

General guidelines for fluid intake are: Drink 2 to 3 cups about 2 hours before exercise. Drink 1 cup 5 to 10 minutes before exercise Drink 1 cup every 15 to 20 minutes during exercise, especially in warm weather. Cool beverages are absorbed better than warm beverages.

Story says a 20-ounce sports drink may have fewer calories than a soda, but it has more sugar and more sodium — and no nutritional value. While the best athletes in the world are guzzling down Powerade at the Olympic Games, sports drinks have become more than a part of the culture of athletics.

Not only are there more electrolytes in Pedialyte than Powerade and Gatorade, it is less sugary as well. Having said that, I’ll admit that both Powerade and Gatorade are superior to plain old water on a hot summer day. Pedialyte is the superior product for better hydration and sports nutrition at the end of the day.

It’s because of ADULTS LIKE YOU who are drinking all the pedialyte and making the JOB MARKET for babies SO lovely right now op. The powdered Pedialyte works out to be a lot cheaper, you just mix it with water yourself. And the fruit punch flavor is delicious!

Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: dizziness, unusual weakness, swelling of ankles/feet, mental/mood changes (such as irritability, restlessness), seizures. A very serious allergic reaction to this product is rare.

If you or your child has lost a lot of fluid because of diarrhea or vomiting, you may need 4–8 servings (32 to 64 ounces) of Pedialyte a day to prevent dehydration. Talk with your doctor if vomiting, diarrhea, or fever lasts for more than 24 hours.
