Gatorade is the original isotonic sports drink, used by more elite athletes than any other sports drink in the world. It is a scientifically proven balance of water, electrolytes and carbohydrate designed to rehydrate and replenish active bodies by replacing the fluid and minerals you lose in sweat and quickly re-fuelling tired muscles.
Gatorade was developed in 1965 specifically for American football – a sport which mirrors the power, pace and physicality of Rugby. The University of Florida’s American football coach asked the university medical faculty to find a way to stop his team - the Gators - wilting in the Florida heat. In response, they developed the world’s first isotonic drink - a scientifically proven combination of water, carbohydrates and electrolytes to rehydrate, replenish and refuel active bodies and replace the essential mineral salts and fluids being lost through sweat.
Just two years later the team, helped by ‘Gator-ade’, won their first ever Orange Bowl. The drink’s contribution to their success was left in no doubt when Bobby Dodd, coach of the opposing team who were favourites to lift the trophy, catapulted the brand into the American consciousness. When asked by reporters why his team lost, he responded, “We didn’t have Gatorade - that made the difference.” Since then Gatorade has grown into one of the world’s biggest sports brands but has never neglected its scientific heritage and the commitment of the internationally renowned Gatorade Sports Science Institute (GSSI) ensures that Gatorade remains the most researched sports drink in the world. Used by more athletes than any other sports drink in the world, Gatorade’s advocates include Michael Jordan, Maria Sharapova, Kaka, Frank Lampard and Ronaldinho.
