does gatorade have magnesium - SportsID
I think most are bagging on Gatorade, but not knowing about or have used their Endurance Formula. From their website,"Endurance Formula is designed to provide 1.5 the amount of sodium as original Gatorade, three times the potassium as well as chloride, magnesium and calcium." Ok that's all great but the issue remains that it is a poor fuel. I have a medical condition which drains my body of electrolytes if I let it.
Understanding the Context
Much worse with extended exercise. But I salt everything, sometimes even just eat salt, and pop a calcium/magnesium pill each morning. No problems, and my sodium counts always come back good. JMO but gatorade is the biggest ripoff unless you're an elite athlete.

Matt The amount of magnesium lost through sweat is negligible, making magnesium supplementation unnecessary. Magnesium and potassium are stored in the body, so deficits are rare. Potassium supplements can be dangerous - abnormal heart rhythms have occurred. Road Cycling - Frozen Gatorade - Not sure how many others do this but I like to freeze Gatorade, Powerade, etc.. and pack that along with a water bottle on my bike for a decent length ride.
