History

Propel Fitness Water was introduced in 2000 by PepsiCo.[2] In January 2006, Gatorade introduced Propel Calcium. In the 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.

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]

In 2023, PepsiCo formed a new portfolio connecting its sports and fitness drink brands under the Gatorade umbrella. Propel was included in this umbrella.[3]
