Read More »Maintaining adequate hydration levels is essential to your health. Insufficient water intakes or excessive water losses may lead to dehydration, affecting consciousness, mental and exercise performance, and your overall health ( 1 ). Your body loses water through your urine, sweat, breath, and feces. These losses increase when you’re sick or exercising. Both Pedialyte and Gatorade are rehydration drinks, meaning they provide fluids and electrolytes — or minerals — to prevent or fight dehydration. This article discusses Pedialyte and Gatorade and reviews their main differences and most common uses. Share on Pinterest Rosita So Image/Getty Images Both are rehydration drinks Pedialyte and Gatorade are both designed to prevent or treat dehydration. In fact, thanks to their electrolyte content, they’re more effective than water at rehydrating. This is because when you become dehydrated, your body loses water and electrolytes — a group of minerals that’s essential for normal bodily function ( 2 ). Both drinks provide water, sugar, and electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium. Nevertheless, despite their shared ingredients and goal, they’re slightly different products. Pedialyte is an oral rehydration solution (ORS). ORS’s are designed to optimize fluid absorption and generally effective at treating dehydration ( 3 ). Gatorade is known for being a sports drink. It was designed to fuel athletes and replenish what they lose through sweat during physical activity, thus promoting good sports performance. Both brands offer various products to meet varying hydration needs and demands. Summary Pedialyte and Gatorade are two rehydration drinks designed to prevent or treat dehydration. Main differences As mentioned before, both drinks aim to prevent dehydration. That said, their nutritional profiles and target market differ. Nutritional comparison The table below compares a 12-ounce (360-mL) serving of Pedialyte and Gatorade’s products for similar purposes (4, 5): Calories Carbs (grams) Sugar (grams) Sodium Potassium Pedialyte Classic 35 9 9 16% of the Daily Value (DV) 6% of the DV Pedialyte Sport 30 9 5 21% of the DV 11% of the DV Gatorade Thirst Quencher 80 22 21 7% of the DV 1% of the DV Pedialyte Electrolyte Water 5 1 0 10% of the DV 3% of the DV Gatorade Zero 0 Less than 1 0 7% of the DV 1% of the DV As you can see, both Pedialyte Classic and Sport provide significantly fewer calories and sugar than Gatorade’s Thirst Quencher. They also pack two to three times the amount of sodium and a considerably higher amount of potassium. Additionally, Pedialyte Classic provides 25% of the Daily Value (DV) for zinc to support your immune system. However, their sugar-free options are far more similar — although Pedialyte still offers a higher electrolytes content, which is meant to replenish fluids more effectively. Target market Some people may use Pedialyte and Gatorade interchangeably in some cases. Still, they were designed to provide hydration solutions for different scenarios and populations. Pedialyte is intended to rehydrate people of all ages, from toddlers to adults. It’s often recommended to people recovering from the stomach flu, other viruses, and athletes. In contrast, Gatorade is recommended for adults, specifically athletes, and it’s meant to meet their athletic needs. Summary Pedialyte products generally provide fewer calories and sugar and a significantly higher electrolyte content than Gatorade. Pedialyte may help people of all ages recover from viruses, while Gatorade is specifically designed for adult athletes.
