Propel earned its spot at the bottom of the list, and for good reason: is this stuff even considered water? The ingredients list is so long that you might confuse it for a Cheez Whiz label.
The company makes plenty of Gatorade-esque claims that the water contains electrolytes, antioxidants, and vitamins that you need to replace after a workout — but it’s also full of sodium, artificial sweeteners, and preservatives you can’t pronounce. It is a product of Gatorade, though, so I’m not surprised. You’re better off drinking real water.
