Basically, a performance drink should be tasty while replacing the essence of sweat, i.e., water and salt. Glucose (or blood sugar) and sodium (the salt in sweat) are key ingredients for optimal fluid and electrolyte replacement during periods of heavy sweating. Research studies indicate that sport drinks containing simple carbohydrates (sucrose, glucose and fructose) plus minerals (sodium, potassium, chloride, etc.) also provide greater rehydration benefits than water alone. (1,2) However, compared to drinks sweetened with lots of sugar, blends using only a little glucose promote faster gastric emptying (movement of fluid from the stomach to the small intestine) and absorption in to the blood.(3)
Sweat contains about 800mg sodium per liter, whereas a typical sports drink has only half that much. There is risk of hyponatremia (low blood sodium) developing from sweat loss during prolonged exercise, so a better strategy than sweet sports drinks is needed for optimal salt replacement. (4) This is why SportAktive Easy formula contains 400mg sodium and 90 mg potassium per 16 fl oz (500 ml) but only 5 calories.
