Sports and Energy Drinks

If you have an active lifestyle, you'll sometimes need an extra boost to keep you from running out of steam. Sports drinks and energy drinks can help you stay in the game.

Sports drinks are water-based beverages enhanced with electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium, which the body loses through sweat. By restoring your body's electrolyte balance, sports drinks can help you rehydrate more efficiently than plain water, and they can also prevent cramping from athletic activity. Most sports drinks contain some sugar, which can provide quick energy to athletes, but there are also sugar-free and calorie-free sports drinks for those who are watching their calories and sugar.

Energy drinks are designed to give you extra energy and improve your performance throughout the day. Most energy drinks contain caffeine along with ingredients such as B-vitamins, ginseng, taurine and guarana, but there are also caffeine-free versions.

Nutritional drinks boost energy by providing essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals rather than caffeine. They're designed for people with inadequate nutritional intake and can serve as meal substitutes or as supplements to your diet.
