Are they just made by different companies?

Hello!
Well, I guess they add different amounts of electrolytes and certain chemicals and then they also make different lines of flavors with the different names like x-factor, and rain, and things like calories, and other nutrition facts basically they are all about the same and they just have different kinds of flavors!
Viewed scientifically, the differences between Gatorade and Powerade are small, with neither beverage appearing clearly superior to the other. I personally prefer Gatorade, since it replaces sodium losses more effectively than Powerade does. However, this may not be an important consideration except in very long runs in which several liters of sweat are secreted.
gatorade tastes better, for one.
i know powerade is a coke product... gatorade is an independent product.
gatorade USED to be bottled by coke, but when gatorade got their own independent bottling company, coke came out with powerade to be its competitor.

Gatorade has been for a long time a helpful replacement drink for electrolytes. It is not a "power drink." Besides helping replace what you loose in vigorous excercise, it is also good when you are sick with vomiting and or diarrea, when your body is expelling it's water reserves and electrolytes faster than it can bring them back. If you are young, old, or have auto-immune diseases, your body may not be able to handle the load of such a rapid loss, and the rehydration is very important. You do not usually need extra vitamins, or extra sugar, unless you are not able to eat for a prolonged period. All things in moderation especially when trying to keep the body in chemical balance. Try to know your health requirements and reasons why you truly need or do not need the replacement drinks. Always talk to your doctor about using these products.
