A Word About Proper Mixing of Gatorade
For the optimal effectiveness of the Gatorade product, it is important to mix your Gatorade powder correctly. Be sure to add your Gatorade packet to the correct amount of water, as specified on the package.
Mixing "strong" Gatorade will cause the concentration of electrolytes and carbohydrates to be too high and will prevent the proper uptake of fluids. If you add too much water and make "weak Gatorade", you will lose effectiveness and will not replenish the salts and sugars your body needs.
The ideal mix ratio was developed to closely match the chemistry of your blood. Gatorade has been lab-tested and scientifically proven to be more effective at the recommended mix ratio.
