Coca Cola Company unveiled that they are launching two new zero-sugar products to their Powerade brand. These new additions to the sports-drink lineup are a first in over a decade and it features brand new packaging. The new Powerade Ultra and Powerade Water both feature the ION4 Electrolyte System which is meant to replenish 4 essential electrolytes; sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, which are lost in sweat.

“We’re responding to the shifting demands of the sports drink category with innovations that deliver on POWERADE fans’ demands for no sugar and a range of hydration solutions for all sweat occasions,” said Shane Grant, president, Coca-Cola North America Stills Business Unit. “The definition of sports and athletes are constantly evolving. Hydration is no longer limited to sports – it’s a necessity for anyone living an active lifestyle.”

Let’s take a closer look at the new lineup:

Powerade Ultra

The Powerade Ultra will be available in three flavors; Mixed Berry, White Cherry, and Citrus Blast. Each drink contains zero sugar, 50% more ION4 electrolytes than other Powerade beverages, vitamins B3, B6, and B12. The drinks also contain BCAAS (branched-chain amino acids) which helps to preserve glycogen, the primary fuel source your muscles use for energy production as well as muscle protein recovery post-workout. Finally, this lineup also features creatine which is naturally found in muscle cells but the supplement can help your muscles produce energy during high-intensity exercises and during heavy lifting. The Powerade Ultra lineup is said to roll out in late-January.

“This technology is new to The Coca-Cola Company,” said Nilesh Karava, senior manager, active hydration product development. “Other beverage companies have been trying to crack the code on creatine shelf-stabilization for years, so this work is a clear demonstration of our team’s agility and curiosity.”
