Gatorade just launched a new functional product—and it’s not your average sports drink. Gatorade Relax, a hydration booster powder, is designed to help you unwind, de-stress, and support calm recovery with a focus on L-theanine and magnesium.

While Gatorade has long dominated the performance hydration space, this signals a strategic move into functional wellness—meeting consumers where they’re at during recovery, not just training.

Key Details:

  • Function: Stress support, calm, and recovery

  • Ingredients:

    • L-theanine – an amino acid known for promoting calm without drowsiness

    • Magnesium – supports muscle relaxation and nervous system balance

  • Calories & Sugar: Low to no sugar, low-calorie hydration option

  • Flavors:

This comes at a time when stress management supplements are on the rise—and big brands are finally catching on. From hydration to headspace, this is a category we’ll be seeing a lot more of.
