Product Summary

Powerade is a well-known and trusted brand from Coca-Cola. You can find these electrolyte-enhanced sports drinks in almost every grocery store, costing around $2.29 for one bottle. The advanced ION4 electrolyte system gives your body the ultimate boost, helping replenish electrolytes through sodium, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. The Powerade Sports Drink also contains carbohydrates and vitamin b to support metabolism and boost energy levels.

As a recovery beverage when you’re sweating and working out, Powerade is an excellent option. However, comments from users regarding the high sugar content, added food dye, and overly sugary and salty taste shouldn’t be overlooked; this product isn’t for everyone.
