THE RIGHT TYPES & BALANCE OF ELECTROLYTES

Not all electrolyte products are created equally.¹ The types and levels of electrolytes in your sports drink matter.⁵ A ground-breaking study at Arizona State University’s Hydration Science Lab demonstrated that a combination of both sodium and potassium, at the right levels, provides optimal hydration.⁵

The researchers compared the leading sodium-based sports drink and the leading potassium-based sports drink with GoodSport® and determined that GoodSport® hydrates significantly better due to its combination of sodium and potassium at high enough levels plus four other essential electrolytes.^5,11

UNIQUE CARBOHYDRATE BLEND SPEEDS HYDRATION & IMPROVES PERFORMANCE

Carbohydrates are essential for a sports drink to be effective. They allow the body to rapidly absorb fluid and electrolytes and they provide fuel for muscles and the brain.^2,12

A proper balance and number of carbohydrates is critical. Sugar, the carbohydrate in sports drinks, is essential for delivering effective hydration but it must be at the right level because too much will slow fluid absorption.⁶ Furthermore, when two types of carbohydrates are provided as opposed to just one, fluid absorption is optimized and energy is more readily available to muscles.^2,6

GoodSport’s unique carbohydrate blend of glucose and galactose has been shown to improve exercise performance and maintain blood sugar levels, helping to sustain energy without a crash.^10,11

HOW DOES GOODSPORT® NATURALLY SOURCE ITS UNIQUE ELECTROLYTE, B VITAMIN & CARB PROFILE?

When we set out to create a sports drink that would hydrate significantly better than the leading sports drinks, we searched for an ingredient that's naturally rich in electrolytes. Milk has a unique electrolyte profile that’s been proven to hydrate better than water and traditional sports drinks so we ultrafilter it to extract its broad spectrum of electrolytes, B vitamins and carbs and remove the rest to create our clear, refreshing sports drink that delivers elite-level hydration.

GREAT TASTE

The taste of a sports drink plays an important role in its effectiveness.^2,8 A great tasting drink encourages athletes to consume the fluids and electrolytes needed for optimal performance.²

We created GoodSport to taste great when you’re hot and sweaty and for the occasions in between.^10,11

GOOD HYDRATION GIVES YOU AN EDGE

When performance is important, no other sports nutrition intervention is as powerful as staying hydrated.^2,12 Research shows proper hydration dramatically improves performance by enhancing cardiovascular, muscular, respiratory and cognitive function.^2,12

RAPID hydration

GoodSport® is absorbed into the bloodstream quickly to enable athletes to hydrate as soon as they need it.5 9 11

LONG-LASTING

Studies show GoodSport hydrates significantly longer than the leading sports drinks and water.5 9 11

"As a strength and conditioning coach charged with the care of players' health and performance, I've tried a lot of options when it comes to hydration. GoodSport® contains only natural ingredients, has more electrolytes, and outperforms everything else we've tried. It has become an integral part of our performance routine."
