Sports drinks like Gatorade and Powerade have made their name on promoting exercise recovery through the process of hydration. Not only do they sell bottled sports drinks with claims to replace your liquid and electrolyte consumption but they also market gels, chews and bars that supposedly aid in replenishing your energy and protein levels. They have become the standard sports recovery drink for every sport ,no matter the playing level, throughout the world. One could even say if your not consuming their products then you could very well be putting yourself behind the curve in your exercise recovery.
