Overall we do believe Gatorlyte is likely to improve athletic performance due to the sugar and electrolytes. A review published in the Nutrients journal found that supplemental electrolytes can improve athletic performance. Gatorlyte also contains an electrolyte blend including ingredients like potassium chloride and magnesium oxide. Purified stevia leaf extract is a healthy and natural sweetener that's plant-derived and has been shown in a meta-study to have no effect on blood sugar levels, which makes it a healthier option than added sugar or artificial sweeteners in our opinion. As we explained in our Athletic Greens reviews article (on another health brand that uses natural flavors), there are documented toxicity concerns regarding some natural flavoring agents and their metabolites. N atural flavor is a generic descriptor used by food manufacturers which doesn’t define what actual chemical compounds are used. A medical review on the toxicology of food dyes concluded that Red 40 was contaminated with carcinogens (cancer-causing compounds). This Gatorlyte flavor contains the artificial food dye Red 40. Sugar is the first ingredient, and a 2019 medical review found that added sugar is harmful in excess and is associated with increased risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.Ĭ itric acid is typically manufactured from a fungus called Aspergillus niger and appears to cause whole-body inflammation in a small subset of individuals according to a medical review published in the Toxicology Reports journal. We’re using the Gatorlyte Mixed Berry product as a basis for our ingredient review, and the Nutrition Facts label above is from this product. Gatorlyte has several different flavors, all with similar formulations. Is Gatorlyte Unhealthy?
