Is Gatorade or Powerade better for dehydration? My answer: neither! Use something better. First I’ll explain the differences between 12-ounce bottles of these two products.

They each contain 21 grams of sugar. One has sucrose and one high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). You’re probably thinking that HFCS is worse but the fact that they don’t tell you where the sugar comes from means it’s probably GMO beet sugar instead of sugar cane. It probably has residue of glyphosate. High fructose corn syrup also does because the corn is GMO.

Sucrose is roughly half and half glucose and fructose. HFCS, interestingly, has less fructose than sucrose does. Fructose is more likely than glucose to create insulin resistance because it overloads the liver. Powerade has dextrose and modified food starch, which is another name for monosodium glutamate (MSG), a flavor enhancer.

Both of these products contain only two electrolytes: potassium and sodium. But they contain only a fraction of the amount of the 4,700 mg of potassium your body needs each day. Powerade contains synthetic versions of B6, B3, and B12 vitamins. Gatorade has none.

Which one is worse? They both are! They’re basically sugar water. If you’re trying to treat your dehydration or hydrate yourself, choose something with all the electrolytes and without all the sugars and hidden sugars.

Sometimes you’ll hear that you need to replace the sugar your body uses from its glycogen reserve during exercise. The problem is if you tap your glycogen reserve you aren’t tapping into your fat reserve, which is probably why you’re exercising in the first place. Too much sugar causes you to get low blood sugar, feel tired, and have worse endurance - not what you want!
