Pocari Sweat was launched in 1980 in Japan by Rokuro Harima, an Otsuka Pharmaceutical employee who came up with the idea after observing a doctor drink IV solution to rehydrate. [1] Harima had taken a trip to the hospital after getting diarrhea during a business trip to Mexico, and wondered if a drink could provide both the water and nutrients he needed to recover. [5]Q On the powdered version of POCARI SWEAT, it says, "Do not use a metal container." What is the reason for this? Pocari Sweat is a mild-tasting, relatively light, non-carbonated sweet beverage and is advertised as an "ion supply drink", "refreshment water" (1992), "body request" (1999), and "electrolyte beverage" in Thailand. It has a mild grapefruit flavor with little aftertaste. Ingredients listed are water, sugar, citric acid, trisodium citrate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium lactate, magnesium carbonate, and flavoring. [3] It is sold in aluminium cans, PET bottles, and as a powder for mixing with water. An artificially sweetened version with reduced sugar called Pocari Sweat Ion Water ( ポカリスエット イオンウォーター, Pokari Suetto Ion Wōtā) is also sold. [4] History [ edit ]

Sugar (Japan-processed), high fructose corn syrup, fruit juice, salt / acidulant, fragrance, vitamin C, potassium chloride, calcium lactate, flavor enhancer (amino acids), magnesium chloride In general, isotonic drinks consists of water-sugar-salt, as well as oral rehydration salts. The function of salts in isotonic drinks is to replace body ions that are lost along with the fluids, so that the fluid balance between water and ions is maintained. If we only drink water, the electrolyte levels in the body becomes too diluted causing the body to get rid of excess fluids. This can cause the body to become dehydrated (Voluntary Dehydration). There is no particular limit on the amount you can drink. If you are on a sugar or salt-restricted diet due to obesity or high blod pressure, consider your daily limits when drinking POCARI SWEAT, because it contains salt and sugar.Pocari Sweat is free of all chemical ingredients and should be consumed the same day the seal is broken. The Potassium, Calcium, and Magnesium contents are all responsible for the electrolyte content in the drink. GATORADE Pocari Sweat has maintained the same blue-and-white color scheme since its inception in 1980. Originally sold in a 245 mL can, it has been sold primarily in bottle form since 1990. [1]

We constantly lose water and ions from our bodies, not just when doing sports, but in all kinds of casual everyday activities. The lost fluid and ions can be smoothly replenished with POCARI SWEAT. Here is an idea of how much fluid we lose in different activities.Sugar (Japan-processed), high fructose corn syrup, fruit juice, salt / acidulant, fragrance, potassium chloride, calcium lactate, flavor enhancer (amino acids), magnesium chloride, antioxidants (vitamin C) was developed in 1980 by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co.,Ltd in Japan. The scientific evidence of product has been proven in a variety of studies and investigations. Initially made in 1965 for the student athletic team of the University of Florida, Gatorade is now popular in over 80 countries around the world by Pepsico. In the early days, Lemon Lime and Orange were the only two flavors available from the Gatorade range of products but now it has grown to have a wide variety of flavors like the Cool Blue, Fierce Green Apple, and Frost Glacier Cherry. Most of you would have noticed how the competitors in sports events always sip bright-colored sports drinks. These are said to be the perfect option for the intake of essential electrolytes for the better working of muscles. It can boost energy before a run or any other sport.
