What do you guy think about this?
Any body use it in trainning instead of water gateraid or pedialite?

are you not in the US ? never heard of it and you spelled Powerade and Gatorade horribly wrong.

[oshea1690]

sorry bout that you didnt mean to say powerade. Pedialite rehydrates you much better than gadorade does. If that helps

i can't see vitamin water getting absorbed as fast as regular water

Check the sugar content. 20 oz. of Glaceau's Vitamin Water has about the same sugar and calories as a can of soda. 120 calories in a 20 oz. Glaceau, 150 calories in 12 oz. of Pepsi. 120 calories is roughly the energy put out by a 150-lb. man running a mile in 8 minutes.

I know there's more than one of those "rehydration" drinks out there that have the nutritional value of Kool-Aid or less. I just don't remember which is which right now. But many of them aren't any better than those juice boxes you used to take in your school lunch.

Personally, I use 1/4 strength Gatorade (mix) and a little salt in a 1-gallon jug. Cheaper, fewer calories, and it keeps me perked for a 90-minute or 2-hour workout. I drink about half of it per workout but I like to have the extra in case I need it.
