How about Pocari Sweat Pocari Water Special Sports Drink Brand introduction

Since 2003, Pocari has become a special drink for athletes of the Training Bureau of the General Administration of Sports of China, backed by Japan's Otsuka Pharmaceutical, which has a professional and reliable image, and is known as a drinkable electrolyte drip.
 
Pocari's electrolyte content is indeed sufficient, containing 49mg of sodium per 100ml, which is 4mg higher than Gatorade, but it is still in the range of low-sodium drinks. Its sugar content is in the middle, the entrance is sweet and salty, there is no obvious sour taste or other pungent odor, the taste is balanced enough, 500ml is priced at 4.5 yuan, and the sugar content may be slightly higher for low-intensity exercise people, which is more suitable for drinking in long-term high-intensity exercise scenarios.
 
Pocari also has solid drinks to choose from, which are still sweet and salty classic flavors, 15g per bag, can be mixed with 200ml of water, and the single package is 1.8 yuan. It should be noted that the ingredients of the two versions of the solid drink in China and Japan are exactly the same, but the Chinese version indicates that it contains grapefruit juice powder while the Japanese version does not, in fact, the Japanese version also adds fruit juice powder, but because in Japan, the juice ingredient is less than 10%, and it cannot claim to contain fruit juice drinks, so this statement is hidden from the formula list, but in fact, the two versions are exactly the same, and consumers don't have to mind.
 
Pocari's sales in first- and second-tier cities have been good, and it is convenient to buy in major supermarkets. However, the volume is not as large as that of Pulse or Red Bull, and the sinking is not deep enough, and other regions can only be purchased through online channels.
