NEW RESEARCH CONFIRMS GOODSPORT® HYDRATES SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER THAN LEADING SPORTS DRINKS DUE TO UNIQUE ELECTROLYTE PROFILE

Scientists at Arizona State University's Hydration Science Lab determined that a combination of sodium and potassium as opposed to just one of the two primary electrolytes found in sports drinks, leads to better hydration.

Most sports drinks depend on either sodium or potassium as their primary electrolyte to enhance hydration. The lab compared the hydration efficacy of water, the leading sodium-based sports drink, the leading potassium-based sports drink and GoodSport®, a sodium and potassium-based sports drink. GoodSport hydrated significantly better and longer due to its combination of sodium and potassium at high enough levels as well as four other essential electrolytes.5

GoodSport® contains 240mg of sodium and 560mg of potassium per 16.9 oz bottle.

The job of a sports drink is to speed fluid absorption, sustain whole-body hydration, fuel active muscles and encourage fluid consumption. 2 Only a sports drink with the right balance and types of electrolytes and carbohydrates that tastes great will provide elite-level hydration.3

UNIQUE ELECTROLYTE PROFILE

A sports drink that doesn’t have the right types or levels of electrolytes will be no more hydrating than plain water.4 Research reveals that both sodium and potassium are key to superior hydration and that GoodSport® hydrates significantly better than the leading sodium-based sports drink and the leading potassium-based sports drink because it contains optimal levels of both essential electrolytes as well as 4 other electrolytes that contribute to whole body hydration.5

CARBOHYDRATES TO SPEED HYDRATION AND IMPROVE PERFORMANCE

Carbohydrates are absolutely essential for a sports drink to be effective. They allow the body to rapidly absorb fluid and electrolytes so you can hydrate fast and provide fuel for active muscles.6 A proper balance and number of carbohydrates is critical. Too much or too little carbohydrate can cause gastric distress.7 And when two types of carbohydrate are provided as opposed to just one, fluid absorption will be optimized.7

GREAT TASTE

It doesn’t matter how a sports drink is formulated if an athlete won’t drink it. Sweetness level, flavor intensity and other taste characteristics must be appealing during exercise to optimize voluntary fluid consumption.8 GoodSport® was formulated to taste great when you are hot and sweaty and for occassions in between.

HOW DOES GOODSPORT® HYDRATE BETTER, NATURALLY?

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 carbohydrates to create our clear, refreshing sports drink that delivers elite-level hydration for competitive athletes.

GOOD HYDRATION GIVES YOU AN EDGE

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