Yes. Gatorade will be available at the race party area near the finish line and registration area, and at all water/aid stations.

Electrolytes are the blood minerals that make up the pH balance of the blood and the electrical potential of the body. Without electrolytes, the body is like a car without a battery - it just cannot get started. Electrolytes for the most part are NOT stored, apart from salt and calcium, and you don't want to use your stores of bone for blood calcium as that can lead to osteoperosis and kidney stones. So electrolytes MUST come from the diet. See similar questions...

Electrolytes are salts in the body that conduct electricity and are found in the body, fluid, tissue and blood. Examples are calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium. Sodium is concentrated in the extracellular fluid between tissue cells and potassium is concentrated in the intracellular fluid within the blood vessels. Proper balance is essential for muscle coordination, heart function, fluid absorption and excretion, nerve function and concentration. See similar questions...

Electrolytes give your body the electrical support necessary for your heart, muscles, and nervous system to work properly. Poor diet, climate, illness, stress, medications and other activities all rob your body of these essential electrolytes; sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, bicarbonate, phosphorus, and sulfur. Trying to replace electrolytes with sports drinks will generally be unsuccessful as most drinks provide a high concentration of carbohydrates; not electrolytes. See similar questions...

Osmolality is an index of the number of particles in a solution and is a characteristic of all fluid solutions. For example, the osmolality of regular soft drinks is about twice that of Gatorade because soft drinks contain about twice as much sugar. The osmolality of Gatorade ranges between 280 to 360 milliosmols per kilogram of water, which is similar to the osmolality of human blood (280-300 osmotic units). See similar questions...

No. Caffeine is a diuretic (increases urine production) and can hinder rehydration when consumed before or after exercise. See similar questions...

The electrolytes contained in Electrolytes Plus Minerals include sodium, chloride and potassium. When a horse sweats, these three electrolytes are the ones lost at the highest levels. See similar questions...

The electrolytes found in FIJI Water include sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, and bicarbonate. These electrolytes are especially important for good health. FIJI Water does not add electrolytes or any other additives to its water. See similar questions...

This depends upon the type of horse you are feeding. Feed adult horses and yearlings 1 scoop at each feeding, for a maximum of 2 scoops per day. Feed weanlings ½ scoop at each feeding for a maximum of 1 scoop per day. For heavily exercised or heavily sweating horses feed 1½ scoops at each of two feedings per day or 1 scoop at each of three feedings for a maximum of 3 scoops per day. See similar questions...

In 1990, a study reported in the Journal of Natural Medicine, entitled ''Effects of Colon Hydrotherapy on Serum Electrolytes'', showed that no patient experienced any clinically significant symptoms or disturbances. See similar questions...

Electrolytes are vital to physiologic function and athletic performance. High or low levels of electrolytes are detrimental to performance and health. The term 'electrolyte' is a medical word for the electrically charged minerals in the body. Electrolytes are vital to health, and act as chemical messengers in the body carrying electrical impulses from the nerves to control all tissue function and movement. See similar questions...

It is very important that you drink plenty of fluids while exercising to prevent dehydration (when your body doesn't have enough fluid) and to perform your best. It is recommended that athletes drink: These amounts may need to be higher on hot and humid days, for very intense workouts, or for very tall or muscular athletes. Usually, water is the best fluid for your body. But when you are exercising for longer than an hour, your body has lost some carbohydrate and electrolytes. See similar questions...

much as you'd like. There is absolutely no restriction on the amount of Gatorade that people can drink. The colors of Gatorade not only look good, they help you tell the flavors apart by sight. The colors are permitted for use in beverages by the FDA and are added at the lowest possible level to achieve the desired color. [There is no evidence to support the notion that these colors are cancer-causing.] See similar questions...

Because there is no benefit to adding Nutrasweet to Gatorade. The rapid absorption of Gatorade is dependent on the presence of carbohydrates and sodium. The carbohydrates in Gatorade also provide energy to active muscles. Nutrasweet, a non-nutritive sweetener generically known as aspartame, is not a carbohydrate and can not confer similar benefits.

Yes, Gatorade can be consumed by diabetics with the same precautions that normally apply to the ingestion of carbohydrates. Gatorade can be particularly helpful for physically active diabetics who must consume a source of carbohydrate during exercise. An eight-ounce* glass of Gatorade contains approximately 14 grams of carbohydrate (8 oz. of Gatorade has approximately the same carbohydrate content as 4 oz. (240 ml) of fruit juice).

Any child who can drink fruit juice, milk, soft drinks, and similar beverages can drink Gatorade. In fact, scientific research shows that physically active children will drink more Gatorade than water and therefore stay better hydrated. (Adults also benefit in a similar fashion.) Gatorade provides about half the calories of an identical serving size of fruit juice or soft drink. By U.S. FDA standards, an eight-ounce serving of Gatorade is a low-sodium food.
