I was going to post this in “supplements and nutrition”, but I dont think the hard core bodybuilders would of appreciated it, and my question is related to more of a conditioning side of things. So here goes…
Ive recently commenced my skill training for my football comeback, and I have been drinking lots of Gatorade in my session(its summer here in Australia).
I make it at half strength and drink about 2-2.5 litres over a 90 minute skill session. I was wondering if there was a better drink I could be drinking that would have all the electrolytes and maybe less sugar? Im not keen on drinking any artificial sweetners during my skill sessions. tweet tweet
I did see one on a cycling website awhile back. Just so you know there is something out there for aussies. I’ll have a quick look around and post back if I find it.
Edit Electro-Mix by Alacer Corporation, or Nuun.
I can guarantee you can get the NuuN product in Aus.
Just stick with gatorade powder man, one of this sticks/packets in 16oz of water. The amount of sucrose/dextrose in that packet should not matter if you are training hard.
The best electrolyte drink would be natural coconut water, try about 12-16 oz. There’s a brand called Zico and the bottle claims 580 mg potassium. It has 12g sugar per bottle.

Whenever my friends ask about Surge Workout Fuel, I explain that it’s a basically a drastically improved Gatorade with superior ingredients. Don’t get too worried about the carbs if you are doing relatively high intensity activity when you drink it.
