Gatorade has launched the ‘Gatorade Smart Gx Bottle’ and the ‘Gatorade Gummies,’ expanding the beverage company’s portfolio to include new sports wellness products that are designed to replenish carbohydrates burned during exercise. The first offering, the ‘Gatorade Smart Gx Bottle,’ comes with a sensor in its cap to determine how much liquid is in the bottle when standing upright on a flat surface. Users can set hydration goals through the Gatorade Gx app, and the bottle calculates consumption and insights into the user’s hydration status to keep them at peak performance.
The ‘Gatorade Gummies’ are designed for recovery and immune support, coming with nutrients like Vitamin D in order to help athletes throughout their entire exercise experience. The ‘Smart Gx Bottle’ retails for $70 USD and comes with a customized Smart Gx Bottle, two packs of Gx Sweat Patches, and four packs of pods. The ‘Gatorade Gummies’ cost $26 USD for a single bottle with 30 servings and $47 USD for a set of both bottles.
