    No, it really isn't good for you, regardless of the name. It actually has other ingredients in it. Gatorade would be better for you because it replaces electrolytes, but water is the best of all.

    I tried it, it's not bad stuff. It's become a popular seller where I work. In my opinion it is good for you, better then soda. I wouldn't consider it gatorade, although it does contain vitamins. You could substitute it for regular water to have a water with flavor and vitamins. You would have to read the back and see what the contents are, I briefly browsed the back but don't remember the details. I remember reading on the label vitamins+water=vitamin water.

    Source(s): Just drank it and browsed the labeling

    there is nothing like the real thing , i am sure u have heard that about coke a cola , ne thing i feel that has additives in it is not good , especially water , we are 90 percent water and there was no vitamin water then , i believe all natural is the best way to go in this day and time ,

    No it's not good for you. Anything with additives is not good. Natural is best. You should be getting your vitamins through healthy eating, not supplements. Plain water is always the best.

    Vitamin water can be good for you,and it's definately not like gatorade. you should'nt drink gatorade when your just siting down,and not being active,but you can drink vitamin water whenever.

    I drink Propel because I find it doesn't bloat me like plain water.

    But do check the sodium and sugar content. Some get rather high

    Most of those waters have too much sugar or too much sodium.. stick with plain water.
