Gatorade is well-known for its thirst quenching drinks and has been a long time favorite of athletes. The company has expanded to offer a complete line of muscle recovery and energy fueling products, much of which is based on research conducted by the Gatorade Sports Science Institute. The brand has introduced new gummy products, an upgraded app and even a smart bottle that lights up when connected to the phone.
The main claim for this product is faster muscle recovery which it accomplishes by providing a blend of carbs and protein. This product is formulated with milk protein concentrate which comes from partially de-lactation of whole milk and it provides a good source of protein, containing casein and whey proteins that help build muscles. According to a study shared in the Journal of International Sports Sciences, milk proteins are known to accelerate muscle recovery after strenuous exercise.
This drink also provides a range of essential vitamins and nutrients including calcium, vitamin C, vitamin E, and magnesium, which are all crucial for muscle recovery. It offers a great source of carbohydrates as well, which is needed to replace depleted energy stores in the body. This product is low in calories and comes in a variety of flavors. It is available in a Tetra (box) or a bottle.
In addition to its muscle recovery benefits, this product can also aid in weight loss. Since this beverage is low in calories it can be used as a meal replacement or snack. In addition, it can help reduce appetite by providing a full range of hunger-fighting proteins.
