How do you feel being the new Powerade ion4 Ambassador?
It’s a pleasure to be selected by POWERADE ION4 to be one of its ambassadors with fellow Filipino athletes. It’s always important to keep getting better. You have to keep trying to improve and be complete. Every single time you step on the field you want to be your best so I always choose the best equipment; the best, complete hydration partner. Hopefully with POWERADE ION4, I get to be one of the world’s best.
What makes it the complete sports drink?
While other sports drinks have two ions, new POWERADE ION4® helps replenish water and the four key electrolytes typically lost in sweat: sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium and provide carbohydrate fuel for your muscles. POWERADE ION4® encourages the body to absorb fluid and maintain fluid balance.
What is the importance of hydration?
Carbohydrates are replaced as well, supplying your working muscles with fuel, helping you sustain mental and physical performance as you exercise. To help you fight off dehydration, POWERADE ION4®doesn’t switch your thirst receptors off prematurely. It keeps you feeling thirsty until you’re properly rehydrated.
Powerade Ion4, the Complete Sports Drink Launched
Elite Athletes Lead the Hydration Revolution
Just when we thought our sports drink couldn’t get any better, The Coca-Cola Company proves otherwise.
This 2012, the visionary behind some of the world’s most successful beverage brands is once again raising the bar with a breakthrough in hydration and fuel replenishment: new POWERADE ION4® with Advanced Electrolyte System. Scientifically-developed through years of research and field testing, it boasts of a new and upgraded formula trusted by top sportsmen across the USA, Canada, Europe, Latin America and Asia. Now, it has finally come to the Philippines, ready to begin a revolution in hydration.
“Athletes and the growing population of sports and fitness enthusiasts in the Philippines are ready to level their game up. Some tend to believe that the way to do this is by buying the latest sports gears and equipment. But we must remember that our most important gear is our own body. We need to make sure to properly take care of our ‘inner gear’. And thus, in order to achieve our goals, we need a hydration partner that provides us with the essential things we need in order to perform better. Other sports drinks have two ions. This new formula has four. POWERADE ION4 is complete with the 4 electrolytes in the same ratio typically lost in sweat. That is why we are bringing new Powerade Ion4 in the country- to empower you to complete your game with the complete sports drink,” says Teejae Sonza, Group Brand Manager for Hydration, Coca-Cola Philippines.
But the question is: why should we take on the challenge to switch from incomplete to complete? New POWERADE ION4®helps replenish fluid losses and the four key electrolytes in the same ratio typically lost in sweat: sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. It also contains carbohydrates at 15 calories per 100mL. POWERADE ION4® encourages the body to absorb fluid and maintain fluid balance. Carbohydrates are replaced as well, supplying your working muscles with fuel, helping you sustain mental and physical performance as you exercise. To help you fight off dehydration, POWERADE ION4®doesn’t switch your thirst receptors off prematurely. It keeps you feeling thirsty until you’re properly rehydrated.
When sweating, the body loses more than just water. It loses these electrolytes which are important in exercise. The importance of each was reviewed by The American College of Sports Medicine, American Dietetic Association and Dietitians of Canada and it was learned that: Sodium is a critical electrolyte, which helps you sweat effectively and aids in muscle contraction; Potassium, on the other hand, is important in the overall energy metabolism; Third of the four key ions is calcium, which essential for overall bone metabolism; Lastly, magnesium plays a vital role in regulating cardiovascular and neuromuscular functions to sustain your performance. Drinking Powerade Ion4, completely packed with these four vital ions, is the most effective way to replace fluid and fuel losses.
Powerade is a trusted partner of many sports organizations in the country and the world. In fact, it is the official hydration partner of the 2012 Olympic athletes in London. Such quality product could only be represented by a breakthrough team of ambassadors; four of the country’s elite athletes in the name of multi-awarded runner and coach, Rio Dela Cruz, top fitness maven Chinggay Andrada, champion basketball player David Semerad and international football player, Neil Etheridge. Sonza proudly says: “We have selected these exceptional individuals to represent Powerade Ion4 for very obvious reasons. We all know they are not only on top of their game, they are also all well-admired achievers. But most of all, they know their respective sports by heart and are very much passionate in improving and achieving further. They would never settle for anything less than complete. That’s the kind of attitude and spirit our brand has. It is always up for greater challenges and it always aims to gain complete power. With them, we have a dream team.”
With their expert know-how in their respective sport and on the importance of proper hydration, they will lead the nation, hardcore athletes and casual sportsmen alike, to conquer their athletic ambitions and step their game up with the help of Powerade Ion4’s improved formulation.
“Proper hydration is very important in sports. I used and tested Powerade Ion4 in my training, competition and organized races and I believe this product will help elevate my performance as well as other runners in the country. To have all the essential components to level up our performance- this is what we all need,” says Rio.
