Product details
Where this label sits
Gatorade Zero Sugar Thirst Quencher Powder is one of the hydration mixes in the Scoop Sense database. Every active ingredient on the panel is listed with its own dose — nothing is hidden inside a blend total. It runs 8 servings per container at the full labeled serving. Everything on this page comes from the manufacturer's supplement facts panel as of September 2026 — never from the marketing page.
Key ingredients & studied doses
- Sodium (from sodium citrate and salt) · 270 mg. Sodium is the electrolyte lost in the largest amount in sweat; 270 mg in 20 fl oz is in the range sports-drink research uses for ordinary training sessions rather than the higher amounts studied for long, hot, heavy-sweat efforts.
- Potassium (from monopotassium phosphate) · 80 mg. A small potassium contribution that works alongside sodium in normal fluid balance; sweat carries far less potassium than sodium, so sports drinks typically dose it lightly.
- Phosphorus · 50 mg. Comes along with the monopotassium phosphate used as the potassium source, and is listed on PepsiCo's own product-facts page at 4 percent of a day's Daily Value.
Flavors & sweetener
Seven flavors listed by Gatorade, Orange, Glacier Freeze, Glacier Cherry, Fruit Punch, Grape, Lemon Lime and Strawberry Ice, sweetened with sucralose and acesulfame potassium with no added colors or artificial flavors; the panel figures here are from the Glacier Freeze 8-stick box, 8 sticks of 0.12 oz (3.5 g), net wt. 0.96 oz (28 g).
Who it's best for
Everyday training and moderate sweat losses — a middling sodium load. A sensible first tub — nothing on the panel that catches a new user out. Derived from the label figures above — not medical advice.
How we log this label
Every entry is built the same way: we read the current supplement facts panel, log each disclosed dose, compare it against the amounts used in published research, flag proprietary blends, and state the cautions plainly. The full methodology explains each step.
This label against the research
How we evaluate labelsEach bar shows the amount commonly used in published human research, and where this label's dose falls against it. Research amounts are context, not a recommendation — they are not doses, and nothing here is medical advice. The bars compare what the label states; we do not laboratory-test the product to confirm it.

Sodium270 mg
The studied range is 300–700 mg of sodium per litre of fluid, and this label does not state the volume to mix a serving into — so its concentration, which is what the range measures, cannot be worked out from the panel. Check the mixing instructions on the pack.
Source: Mosler et al., German Journal of Sports Medicine 2020 (DGE position) — “the optimal sports drink should contain 400-1100 mg / l sodium in addition to carbohydrates (4-8%)”
Common questions about Gatorade Zero Sugar Thirst Quencher Powder
How much sodium is in Gatorade Zero Sugar Thirst Quencher Powder?
270 mg per serving, with no sugar. Sodium is the main electrolyte lost in sweat, but needs vary widely with sweat rate and diet — and daily sodium from food counts toward the same total.
Does Gatorade Zero Sugar Thirst Quencher Powder disclose every dose?
Yes — the label lists an individual amount for each ingredient, with no proprietary blends. That is what the "label fully disclosed" tag on Scoop Sense means, and it is what lets each dose be compared against the amounts used in published research.
