Greater Than vs. Gatorade
How Much Sugar Is Found in Gatorade?
One factor to consider when choosing Gatorade is the sugar content.
Research shows that sugary foods and drinks don’t actually improve mood or fatigue. In fact, the American Heart Association recommends consuming no more than six teaspoons of sugar for women and nine teaspoons for men per day.
Gatorade contains 21 grams (or 4 ¾ tsp) of added sugar content, which is about half the daily recommended amount.
Greater Than’s electrolyte drinks contain none of the added sugar found in many popular sports drinks, energy drinks, and sugary drinks. Our drinks are 100% vegan with no added sugars, making us a healthy alternative for you and the whole family.
Comparing Ingredients: Greater Than vs. Gatorade
At its core, our drinks are made up of three main ingredients: non-GMO fruit juice, coconut water, and a dash of salt. Non-GMO fruit juice makes up approximately 32% of our drinks.
When looking at Gatorade, there is no fruit juice to be found. Instead, Gatorade is largely made up of sugar and sodium. In fact, just one bottle of Gatorade offers 270 milligrams of sodium, which is about 11% of the recommended daily value.
While this is helpful for athletes looking to increase their intake, it’s essential to understand how much sugar and sodium you’re actually consuming per serving.
