The original #9 sport drink

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 3 ingredients to avoid

The original #9 sport drink scores 23/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

The original #9 sport drink lists 7 ingredients, starting with Filtered Water, Vinegar, Salt, Natural Flavoring and Polysorbate 80. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 23/100 The original #9 sport drink scores worse than most sports & electrolyte drinks we have scored. A higher-scoring option in sports & electrolyte drinks is BODYARMOR SportWater Electrolytes at 96/100.
