Pro Player Sports Drinks

[Mason Washington]

In recent tournaments I see players with 2 sometimes 3 identical long stylish bottles. They take quick sips from each on break. I see a red liquid in one most times. Anyone know what it is?

 

[David Le]

It’s recovery fluid similar to Gatorade. I do the same for matches.

 

[Cyclone]

It depends on the player. Each player has different formulations. The most common ingredients are sodium, potassium, BCAAs, glucose, and sometimes caffeine. You can make a great electrolyte drink for very cheap from Morton's Lite Salt (got this tip from the TT boards) + sugar/fruit juice + water.

 

[TagUrIt]

It definitely varies, I would guess that they’re using so form of electrolyte tablets though. I actually started using Nuun tablets a few months ago. They dissolve in water and have a lot less sugar than Gatorade. Whatever you choose to drink take sips not gulps.

 

[Tmano]

A friend of mine told me about propel by Gatorade. He loves it and no sugar and pretty cheap! I have not tried it yet though!

OPS it's about pros

 

[darkhorse]

I feel like a lot of players are using Biosteel, I know Shapo does since he endorses it but I see a lot of players with something that looks very similar. I'm sure there are other formulas that are basically the same thing

 

[Thomas O’Malley]

Always wanted to know what those lemonade lookin drinks were these players had in their bottles.

Why sips not gulps

I want to know what MEdvedev was drinking... that thing must be magic

Why sips not gulps

You actually get hydrated better from taking sips not gulps. Plus with tennis, no one wants to run around the court with a stomach full of water, sports drink or food.

 

[McLovin]

Its called Brawndo. Its got the electrolytes that plants crave...

 

[stringertom]

It’s recovery fluid similar to Gatorade. I do the same for matches.

The only similarity any of their drinks have to Gatorade/Powerade is they include about 10x the electrolyte/minerals that the two most commercially available brands offer and NONE of the HFS/sugar those brands contain. If you’re buying something premixed and ready to drink, Body Armour is much better with vitamin and coconut water content. It still doesn’t offer what the powdered super drinks can with their higher quantities of electrolytes and minerals.

Probably the best price/quality combo is Cytomax, made by the Muscle Milk manufacturer. Futures tour players would carry a big jug of this powder to mix with water before going courtside for practice and matches.

A better one is BodyFuel by ProCaps Labs. It has a great blend of vitamins, minerals and electrolyte replenishments.

Biosteel is so overpriced. They tried marketing through GNC and failed miserably. But Shapo is loyal to the former Toronto Maple Leaf trainer that concocted his elixir.

Try Cytomax for best price/quality combo...proven on tennis tour for years.

Bicycle racers swear by Pacific Health Labs Accelerade and Endurox formulas for in-session and post-session recovery. Their claim is they are more effective because their formula has a bit of protein to go along with electrolytes and carbs. That reduces severity of muscle breakdown (cannibalization) during prolonged exercise.

I also like the ProCaps Labs BodyFuel with its top class blend of vitamins to fire the mineral replenishment process.

Eye can geaux bacque if ewe lyke???

 

[stringertom]

Why sips not gulps

The correct ratio is about 4 ounces pure water to 1 ounce hydration mix. Then reverse that ratio post-session.

It is not red. It is kinda pink. It might be coconut water. You know coconut water can be pink right: https://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/pink-coconut-water-health-benefits-article

I normally drink coconut water with a little salt add to it, along with plenty of warm water, during work out.

Biosteel is one of a few that have a pink color...hence their Drink The Pink advertising motto.

 

[Lefty5]

NUUN has a bunch of flavors, and some of them pink. No sugar. All electrolytes. Love em.

We use the fruit punch flavor of Cytomax and have for probably 10 years. Very good at replenishing lost vitamins and fluids, also not too loaded down with sugar.

I use and benefit from both of these. Used by pro athletes.
