  • Sports Drink Marketing

    Advertisements for sports drinks often attempt to point out the benefits of drinking specially formulated beverages over regular water. They claim that water alone is not enough to replenish the body of what it needs to keep going, and that drinks like Gatorade have additives to boost carbohydrates and restore nutrients lost through strenuous activity. Sports drinks were originally marketed to athletes only, but non-athletes also enjoy drinking these types of drinks. Therefore, other low-sodium and low-calorie sports drinks are marketed to non-athletes.
