rehydration

[grasshopper]

What is the best rehydration/electrolyte product on the market? What do elite atheletes take?

The most common would be Gatorade. It has a good sodium/potassium/sugar ratio. Depending on circumstances I would use Pedialyte if trying to recover from extreme dehydration.

^^^ Agree

if you are trying to rehydrate asap then pedialyte is best. gatorade is also good for when you are trying to rehydrate quickly. however, if you are dehydrated and do not have to compete again within the next day or so then water is best... the salts and sugars that you would get from the gatorade will be regained by a proper diet

i remember using pedialyte after wrestling matches in high school.

If were talking ELITE and they are a pro they receive an I.V. if extremely dehydrated suffering cramps etc....

If your talking just day to day training then its a personal preference of all stated above.

I believe the best thing is constant water intake so you wont have to "rehydrate".
