The well-known pulsation is not a sports drink in the strict sense, and its sodium content is zero, which cannot meet the minimum sodium content of 5mg/100ml for sports drinks. The pulsating taste is refreshing and smooth, and the sugar content of 4.8g/100ml is not high, so it is understandable to drink as a regular drink, but it is indeed impossible to use it to replenish electrolytes after strenuous exercise.
In 2017, after experiencing a sharp decline in performance, Pulse launched Pulse Blazing Energy for the young sports segment. The formula of Blazing Energy adds sodium to 16mg/100ml, which is half or even 1/3 of the content of conventional sports drinks, which cannot meet the needs of electrolyte replenishment after high-intensity exercise, and is more suitable for consumers who have exercised or run for less than an hour. Blazing Energy has the same sugar content as Pulsation, so the taste is not overly sweet and has a lower calorie load, but the two new peach orange and snow grapefruit flavors are not very popular, and some have even described it as strange as a red version of Scream.
Blazing Energy has also launched a coffee-flavored energy drink that contains caffeine and is therefore not suitable as a sports drink. In addition, the caffeine content is vague and unclear. The compound flavor of coffee and green tea in the mouth is quite strange, and it is not recommended to buy it in terms of functionality or taste.
At present, the blazing energy of sports drinks has penetrated into major supermarkets along the pulsating distribution channels, so it is convenient to buy. Its specification is 100ml less than that of Pulsation, and the price is the same as that of Pulsation at 4.5 yuan.
