i`ve seen a lot of NBA players drink Gatorade after playing? is it same as 100+ ?

more expensive.

gatorade = made in usa

100 plus = not

so u saying Gatorade=100+ ?

both offer similar benifits, both are energy drinks. gatorade has their own research lab to test effects of gatorade on athletes, i dont think 100plus does the same kind of research.

the nutritional values are somewhat different aswell.

more info at http://www.100plus.com.my

http://gatorade.com/

or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatorade if you dont want to spend time looking for info on gatorade's official website

eta: i guess you could say, 100+ = good petroleum, gatorade = premium petrol. i doubt you'd actually notice any real difference unless you're performing at a very high level.

It's just high GI carbs.

pretty much, gatorade has alot more flavours than 100plus though

I use honey and oats as PWO carbs. Much more effective imo.

well you cant exactly have honey and oats when you're in the middle of a game or in the middle of a 10 mile run can you!!

i drink a mix of water, fruit juice and salt since i'm a cheapskate and dont want to buy drinks.

That's sponsorship... marketing la... Gatorade is just like Lucozade, Red Bull etc. It rehydrates the body.

I dont like the taste of them. Only one i liked was this Jepun brand one...can't read Jepun but it is blue, green,silver and white in colour. Not that I drink them for after workout replenishing, too expensive, just drink for taste, like a soft drink.

pocari sweat?

yeap, it's for marketing purposes...players holding and drinking Gatorade in the middle of games...

best to drink isotonic drinks for faster rehydration and recovery..100plus, isomax, what else are there in the market?

useful info on how to keep yourself hydrated and what you need to do it

you can pretty much make your own isotonic, hypertonic or hypotonic with easily available ingredients.

eta: redbull IS NOT A SPORTS DRINK, it isnt the same as gatorade or other sports drinks. redbull is an ENERGY DRINK, it simply pumps you full of sugar, taurine and caffiene.

gatorade is not as gassy as 100 plus.

ofcourse lol, gatorade is un-carbonated.

Hey wats the different between a regular 100+, 100+ Power and 100+ Active(the blue one)

they're the same thing as far as i can tell from the website.
