Groundbreaking study reveals that the types and levels of electrolyte in a matter , /PRNewswire/ -- A groundbreaking study at Hydration Science Lab set out to examine the hydration efficacy of sports drinks based on their electrolyte profile. The scientists determined that , a natural electrolyte hydration drink with naturally sourced electrolytes, outperforms other leading sports drinks due to its unique combination and levels of electrolytes. Building on previous peer-reviewed research from * and revealed recently at the American College of Sports Medicine Annual Meeting in , the study revealed that while most sports drinks depend on either sodium or potassium as their primary electrolyte to enhance hydration, GoodSport tested better because it had optimal levels of both.
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. "We looked at several sports drinks to identify which electrolytes or combination thereof would hydrate better and it was empirically evident that GoodSport, with optimal levels of sodium and potassium as well as other electrolytes, hydrated better than a sports drink with sodium and very little potassium, or a sports drink with high levels of potassium and barely any sodium," said Dr. Stavros Kavouros, lead researcher, Professor of Nutrition and Director of the Hydration Science Lab, .
"Our test results were clear – Go.
