Summary

BODYARMOR Sports Drink Strawberry Banana scores 48/100. A sugar-loaded sports drink with 17g added sugars (34% DV) from cane sugar per 12oz bottle — 80 calories of mostly sugar water. Contains coconut water concentrate and electrolytes (oxide forms, cheap), plus vitamins A/C/E and B-vitamins. No artificial dyes (uses fruit/vegetable juice color), which is better than Gatorade. However, the heavy sugar load, ester gum, gum arabic, natural flavors, beta-apo-8'-carotenal, folic acid, and cyanocobalamin add up to a heavily processed beverage pretending to be healthy hydration.
