Decide which you want - quick absorbtion (HYPOTONIC), same as water rate absorbtion (ISOTONIC) or slow release absorbtion (HYPERTONIC)
Which do you want me to list
There are differing uses for the differing rates of course
Immediate energy (short burst) - HYPOTONIC Normal Ongoing replacement Energy - ISOTONIC Slow all day release Energy - HYPERTONIC

INCLUDE THE SALT or they're just a juice drink! ! ! !
SALT is the key to a SUCCESSFUL Sports Drink and he can choose whatever flavour of Fruit juice so long as it is the UNSWEETENED variety ok

because water on its own doesn't give you extra energy and doesn't repalce the salt being lost in your body whilst you are exercising
NEXT . . . .

yup it's salt that makes the difference, yet you wouldn't think so would ya. thanks for those recipes... . we've been buying power aid powder at $14 . . will give some of those recipes a go.

cos its not effective in hot humid weather when your spending all that energy. Since i've been using powerade powder i've managed to get through my days and hubby isn't getting leg cramps at night. salt is so obvious yet everyone misses it. . we have come to believe that 'salt' is bad... but your body needs a cettain amount of salt to function well.
