Propel Electrolyte Powder is a zero-sugar hydration mix from Gatorade's electrolyte line, formulated with essential minerals and B-vitamins. Each serving delivers 220mg sodium, 70mg potassium, and 25mg magnesium—a modest electrolyte profile positioned for everyday hydration rather than intense athletic performance. Sweetened with sucralose (aspartame-free), it contains 10 calories per serving and is available in multiple flavors including Black Cherry. The 32-serving tub format offers convenience at approximately $0.80 per serving. Added actives include B-vitamins (B3, B5, B6, B12) and antioxidants. Marketed as a lighter alternative to sugary sports drinks, Propel appeals to calorie-conscious, heat-recovery, and everyday hydration users rather than endurance athletes seeking maximum electrolyte density. No artificial colors or flavors. Clean mixability and consistent availability make it accessible, but electrolyte content and sodium levels lag category leaders like LMNT and Liquid I.V.
