Beverages, Gatorade

[Contessagal42]

Is Gatorade a beverage that might affect the kidneys and in what way if so

[cleocato1]

Gatorade is high in sodium. Look up the effects online or ask your doctor. Water is much better!

Dietitian answer: Gatorade is high in sodium, but also has added potassium and phosphorus. Recently Gatorade has come out with a Organic version which I found at Harris Teeter. It has slightly less sodium, less potassium, and no added phosphorus. If you are looking for an alternative to Gatorade I would recommend trying this version if you can find it.

I hope this helps. As always, feel free to consult your dietitian at your clinic.

What about the G2 Gatorade? Is that better? Isn't it essentially a watered-down Gatorade?
