Gatorade Thirst Quencher

Gatorade Thirst Quencher contains sodium and potassium electrolytes. This is because sweat contains more than just water - when athletes sweat, they also lose electrolytes such as sodium and potassium. Unlike other beverages that are not scientifically formulated with the recommended amount of electrolytes for the active occasion, Gatorade is lab-tested to ensure it helps replenish the electrolytes lost in sweat while maintaining thirst so athletes will adequately ingest enough fluid and electrolytes to stay well-hydrated.

Athletes have different hydration and fueling needs. Gatorade Thirst Quencher (GTQ), low-calorie Gatorade G2 and Gatorade Zero provide options to meet the needs of more athletes during more occasions.

GTQ and G2 both provide hydration as well as carbohydrate fuel; however, G2 offers less carbohydrate thereby making it “low calorie.” While GTQ helps effectively meet hydration and energy needs for most athletes, G2 helps meet those same needs when less carbohydrate is required (e.g., lower intensities and durations, or when goals are other than performance) or when an athlete has a high sweat rate (sweating out more fluid than the norm, therefore needing to replace higher fluid losses while still staying within the recommended carbohydrate intake range for athletes).

Gatorade Zero is meant for an athlete looking for a zero-sugar thirst quencher with the same electrolytes as a Gatorade Thirst Quencher. Gatorade Zero is also a great option for athletes who prefer to get the carbohydrate energy they need to fuel working muscles from products such as gels or chews, as a supplement to their hydration choice.

Water is essential for hydration, but during longer or certain workouts your body loses more than just fluid. Gatorade Thirst Quencher is formulated with electrolytes and carbohydrates to help replace what is lost in sweat and support energy for working muscles. For extended or high-intensity activity, this combination can help support fluid balance and performance more effectively than water alone.

Yes. Gatorade Thirst Quencher contains sugar and dextrose, which provide carbohydrates that help fuel working muscles during longer or more intense activity.

A 20 oz serving of Gatorade Thirst Quencher contains about 270 mg of sodium, one of the key electrolytes lost in sweat.

Gatorade Thirst Quencher is great for everyday hydration but designed for longer-duration or moderate- to high-intensity workouts when athletes need both fluid and carbohydrates to help support performance.

Yes. Gatorade Thirst Quencher contains a proven electrolyte blend designed to help replace electrolytes lost through sweat during exercise.
