Gatorade G2® 02 Perform Thirst Quencher
Gatorade G2® 02 Perform Thirst Quencher
A low calorie electrolyte beverage designed to help athletes hydrate when they are off the field so that they will be better prepared for competition on the field.
Research indicates that athletes are doing a poor job of hydrating off the field, as some studies have shown that 50 to 70 percent of athletes show up to practices and games inadequately hydrated. Dehydration can have a negative impact on performance and increase the risk for heat illness.
With the addition of G2,The Gatorade Company will better meet the hydration needs of athletes 24/7.

How is G2 different than Gatorade Thirst Quencher?
G2 is a low-calorie sports drink designed to help athletes and active people stay hydrated. G2 has the same amount of electrolytes as Gatorade Thirst Quencher to help maintain electrolyte balance, encourage athletes to drink more and help them retain fluid in the body rather than losing it through urination - all important for better hydration, but with fewer calories.
Why did Gatorade develop G2?
G2 was developed to help athletes and active people stay hydrated. Research suggests that 50 percent or more of athletes and active people may arrive at practices or games inadequately hydrated -- which can affect their performance. G2 is low in calories and helps keep you hydrated so you're always ready to perform. Individual athletes have different needs during different workout occasions. Therefore, G2 was developed to offer the same advanced hydration benefits as Gatorade, but with less than half the carbohydrate energy (and calories). G2 is a great option for shorter duration or lower intensity workouts or for those athletes with high sweat rates consuming high volumes of fluid (greater than a liter (34 ounces) of fluid per hour).
How has G2 changed?
We have removed the vitamins and have now sharpened our focus on fueling athletic performance during workouts and competitions and have designed the G Series based on scientific grounding and athlete needs.
If G2 is for during activity is it OK to drink it before or after it?
Yes. Athletes can still benefit from drinking Gatorade and G2 (Gatorade Perform 02) before or after activity to maintain a healthy hydration level.
Which sports drink should I use - Gatorade or low-calorie G2?
Individual athletes have different needs during different workout occasions. Through Gatorade Thirst Quencher and low-calorie G2, Gatorade provides options to meet the needs of more athletes during more occasions. What's important is that during training or competition, athletes need calories or carbohydrate energy to fuel working muscles. G2 offers the same advanced hydration benefits as Gatorade, but with less than half the carbohydrate energy (and calories) and is a great option for shorter duration or lower intensity workouts or for those athletes with high sweat rates consuming high volumes of fluid (greater than a liter (34 ounces) of fluid per hour.
Why did G2 drop in calories from 25 to 20?
We lowered the calories to be consistent with what athletes tell us they consider low calorie: anything 20 calories per serving or less.
Do you make a version of G2 with zero calories?
No. G2 provides 20 calories per 8-oz. because athletes need some carbohydrate energy during training and competition to help fuel working muscles. A zero calorie beverage provides zero energy to working muscles and we don't think it should be called a sports drink.
How long can I keep a bottle of opened Gatorade to drink later?
Once opened, Gatorade should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 3-5 days after opening.
What is the shelf life of an unopened Gatorade?
For optimal flavor, the product should be consumed within 9 months or less.
Where is the date on the Gatorade bottle? What does it stand for?
The date on the first line of the neck of the bottle indicates when Gatorade is at its optimal freshness and flavor. Gatorade can be safely consumed past that date if the seal is intact and the product has been stored in a clean, dry, cool environment.
Why aren't tamper bands on all Gatorade packages?
Gatorade plastic caps have bands that separate once the cap has been loosened. Tamper bands are used on caps that don�t have built in tamper evidency including 24-ounce sports cap.
What is the best temperature for storing Gatorade? How about powder?
Liquid Gatorade will store best when kept at refrigerator temperature, about 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Powder should be kept in a cool (about 70 degrees Fahrenheit or less), dry place.
Are the plastic Gatorade bottles recyclable?
Yes. Additionally, we're constantly working to reduce the amount of material we use to make a bottle. In fact, a 20-oz. Gatorade Thirst Quencher bottle weighs 10 percent less than it did in 1998.
