Propel Water is a brand of flavored bottled water that is advertised for having antioxidants, and vitamins. It is a beverage product of Gatorade and is marketed by PepsiCo.

Ingredients [edit]

Propel contains water, flavors, citric acid, sodium citrate, potassium citrate, sucralose (marketed as Splenda), vitamin C (ascorbic acid), vitamin E acetate, niacinamide (vitamin B3), calcium disodium EDTA, calcium pantothenate (vitamin B5), pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B₆), acesulfame potassium, and vitamin B₁₂^{[citation needed]}.

History [edit]

Propel Fitness Water was introduced in 2000 by the Gatorade Company.^[1] In January 2006, Gatorade introduced Propel Calcium to market. In summer of 2006, Gatorade introduced Propel powder packets, a dry powder mix of Propel, where the contents of a powder packet are added to a 500 mL (16.9 oz) bottle of water. Propel powder with Calcium launched in January 2010. In early 2009, Gatorade changed the bottle design.^{[citation needed]} The packaging claims that the bottles contain 20% less plastic than their predecessors. Propel's logo remains the same, but the words "Fitness Water" have been removed from the packaging,^{[citation needed]} leaving the only description as "Vitamin Enhanced Water Beverage".

In early 2011, Gatorade announced it was discontinuing production of regular Propel (Sucrose & artificial sweeteners base) in favor of an artificially sweetened variety: "Propel Zero".^{[citation needed]}

Current flavors [edit]

Propel is available in 7 ready-to-drink, 8 powdered, and 3 calcium branded flavors.
