Gatorade® was created in 1965 after the University of Florida’s American Football coach came to the medical faculty with a problem – his players were wilting in the Florida heat. The scientists developed a drink that was designed to replace the essential mineral salts and fluids the players were losing through sweat. These scientists were game changers, and so was the drink they invented.

The team was called the Florida Gators and the drink was christened ‘Gator-ade’. Within two years the team had won their first Orange Bowl, the college equivalent of the Superbowl. When the coach of the opposing team, Georgia Tech, the favourites to lift the trophy, was asked why his team had lost, he told reporters, “We didn’t have Gatorade,® that made the difference.” 

Gatorade® has studied some of the best athletes in the world for over 40 years, and our research has showed that competitive edge is just as much about what you put into your body as what you put on it. 

Now Gatorade® have changed the game again.

To help athletes get the most out of their bodies, scientists from Gatorade® have created G Series Pro – a new line of products supported by the latest sports performance science and developed in collaboration with some of the world’s greatest athletes to provide fuel, fluid and nutrients before, during and after activity. 

Gatorade is the official performance partner of Team Sky and is trusted by more elite athletes than any other sports drink in the world. G Series Pro is the ultimate 3-stage performance nutrition.
