GOS, galacto-oligosaccharides.
Indicates serving size of a powder or tablet that is intended for dissolution in 350–500 ml water.
Popularity as percentage of athletes (n = 430) reporting use of brand during competition. Not necessarily same flavor as tested.
Sports drink/thirst quenchers are abbreviated with Bev (for beverage), solids with either Bar or Waf (for waffle), and gel/gummies with either Gel or Gum (for gummy).
