Guys, this is the ingriedients from gatorade -SALT and sugar. I learned years ago from trainers in motocross, a super demanding #1 in intensity and endurance that gatorade only real aide is replenishing salts lost in sweating and a a lil mono phosphate. They gave me pedialyte and it was astounding the effect after the race. You have to fully recover because the 2nd heat is waaay worse than the 1st. Ever see a race horse after a run frothing, that's salts. You'r replacing the salt but not the eloctrolytes.
I'm not going all Dr Jim on ya so don't take it that way just sharing a excellent way to replace lostminerals and electrolytes

The ingredients of powerade aren't the same as gatorade. Powerade has calcium, magnesium, and potassium where as gatorade only has potassium.
I use pedialyte to rehydrate every time I would drop weight to make weight. I'd also take immodium b/c I'd get the runs.
