A special five-electrolyte blend of sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride and calcium created for salty sweaters and cramp-prone athletes. Mix one packet with a 20-oz bottle of Gatorade Thirst Quencher.
It's vital for every athlete to replace sodium that's lost in sweat, but for some it's an even bigger deal. Take a look at your shirt or hat after your next workout. If there are white sweat marks, it's time to pay closer attention to what you're sweating out. Losing too much sodium and fluid can really slow you down, delaying muscle responses and reaction times.
The second most abundant electrolyte lost in sweat, potassium regulates fluid distribution throughout the body and aids in nerve and muscle function.
When training for long periods of time, you also sweat out chloride, magnesium and calcium. Replacing all five electrolytes goes a long way in keeping things running smoothly.

About the company: In early summer of 1965, a University of Florida assistant coach sat down with a team of university physicians and asked them to determine why so many of his players were being affected by heat and heat related illnesses.
The researchers — Dr. Robert Cade, Dr. Dana Shires, Dr. H. James Free and Dr. Alejandro de Quesada — soon discovered two key factors that were causing the Gator players to 'wilt': the fluids and electrolytes the players lost through sweat were not being replaced, and the large amounts of carbohydrates the players' bodies used for energy were not being replenished.
The researchers then took their findings into the lab, and scientifically formulated a new, precisely balanced carbohydrate-electrolyte beverage that would adequately replace the key components lost by Gator players through sweating and exercise. They called their concoction ‘Gatorade'.
