What is Gatorade Endurance Formula and how does it differ from Gatorade Thirst Quencher?
Gatorade Endurance Formula is a specialized sports drink with a unique blend of five electrolytes designed to meet the fluid and electrolyte needs of elite and endurance athletes during their longer, more intense workouts. Gatorade Thirst Quencher contains the electrolytes sodium, chloride and potassium – the key electrolytes lost through sweat. Gatorade Endurance Formula contains more sodium and potassium as well as chloride, calcium and magnesium to more fully replace what elite and endurance athletes lose during their longer and more intense training sessions and competitions.
