I’ve personally been drinking GFuel. It tastes better than gatorade and does more for me overall. I will say, there’s no real “benefit” to branded electrolyte drinks in my experience. It’s not hard to get a flavor syrup of your choosing and a flavorless bulk electrolyte powder (human-grade / food-grade), and mix the drink yourself.
That’s the most damning thing about this to me. While there’s an update that points out his worst conspiracy theories, I can’t say he’s wrong on every level. Gatorade is currently a PepsiCo product (from when they bought Quaker, who bought that part of Van Camp when the rest went to ConAgra). It’s far removed from the college drink made by chem nerds for their jock friends. You don’t need to support PepsiCo as a consumer. You can get the same stuff and make your own drinks for less money and generally supporting smaller companies closer to the production phase of the supply chain.
Just please don’t use animal feed to do it, unless you very specifically know what you’re doing.
