Lucozade Sport Orange contains 26 kcal, 6.4g of carbohydrate (4.2g sugar) and 0.11g of salt per 100ml.
Lucozade Sport is formulated to the isotonic standard: a carbohydrate concentration (6.4g per 100ml) that matches the osmolality of blood (approximately 280-300 mOsm/kg), allowing faster absorption than plain water during exercise. The sodium (0.11g per 100ml = 44mg sodium) helps replace electrolytes lost in sweat and stimulates thirst to maintain hydration. It is specifically designed for sustained exercise, not casual consumption.
