Gatorade launches first ever dietary supplement gummies for exercise recovery and immune support

Gatorade has long been one of the most trusted names in helping athletes refuel and stay hydrated both on and off the field. Now the brand is bringing its expertise and industry-leading science with a new line of gummy supplements to fuel the athlete in you 24/7.

Gatorade’s Dietary Supplement gummies are designed to help support exercise recovery and support a healthy immune system. 

Gatorade Gummies were formulated with the help of scientists at the Gatorade Sport Science Institute (GSSI) which has been supporting athletes since 1985. Every gummy is vegetarian and gluten-free and is made without any artificial colors or high fructose corn syrup. Here’s what the gummies are designed to support.

Recovery

Recovery from exercise is a critical aspect of anyone's training. Recovery is especially important during intense and extended periods of training/competition and when time between multiple training sessions or competitions is short. The Gatorade Recovery Gummies were formulated with 480 mg of tart cherry powder to assist with recovery. The gummies are designed to be taken in the days leading up to and following intense exercise when recovery is a priority.

Research published in the American College of Sports Medicine, has shown that tart cherry in varying forms (e.g., concentrate, juice, and powder) is useful for supporting a wide range of exercise recovery parameters. Specifically, 480 mg of tart cherry powder, when consumed daily over the course of multiple days, has been shown to support exercise recovery according to recent studies in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition. Research also found that focusing on recovery may be particularly important around intensive training and competition.

Immune Support

The immune system plays an important role when it comes to wellness. Reviews from the European Journal of Sport Medicine and International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism highlight the importance of supporting the immune system during intense training, competition, and traveling. Several vitamins and minerals have been shown to play key roles in the immune system. The Gatorade Immune Support Gummies contain an excellent source of vitamins C & D, zinc, and selenium to help support a healthy immune system.

These gummies are packed with the essentials to support a healthy immune system:

Vitamin C:  Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that the body cannot synthesize - making it an essential micronutrient. Fruits and vegetables including citrus fruits, bell peppers, broccoli, and Brussel sprouts are the best food sources. Studies show that vitamin C acts as an important antioxidant that helps protect cells and supports immune health.

Zinc: Zinc is an essential mineral that must be consumed daily via foods and/or supplements. Research shows that zinc helps support healthy immune function. 

Selenium: Selenium is an essential trace mineral that acts as an antioxidant protecting cells and helps maintain healthy immune function, according to the journal Nutrients. 

Vitamin D: Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that can be obtained through sun exposure, the diet, and supplementation. It plays a variety of roles in supporting immune function.
