My trainer says that I should only drink water. Why should I drink Sportsdrink
+?
Water is fine for basic hydration. Sportsdrink+ offers a range of vital ingredients including carbohydrates which are not present in water. Sportsdrink+ is also an isotonic product ensuring the efficient delivery of fluid to the body. "Sports drinks outperform water in preventing dehydration, especially in young athletes.
