Description Light and Refreshing Sports Hydration
The Skratch Labs Sport Hydration Drink Mix was created for a simple purpose - to replace the electrolytes lost in sweat and to provide a little bit of energy when working out, without offending your palate or gut.
This drink was initially created because some of the world's best athletes needed better. Conventional sports drinks made them sick. They were undrinkable - too sweet, over-flavored, and didn't even replace what was lost in sweat – which defeated the whole purpose, like fighting thirst with more thirst.
The result is a sports drink with minimal sugar (4g per 100 ml) and a ratio of sugar (glucose + fructose) that is optimized for faster absorption, an electrolyte profile that actually matches what is lost in sweat (800 mg sodium, 80 mg potassium, 100 mg calcium, and 80 mg of magnesium per liter), and only real fruit for flavor for a light and refreshing taste that you can drink all day. That's it - less sugar, the right electrolyte profile, and real fruit. So, if you've never met a sports drink you wanted to take home, your luck is about to change.
Drink when thirsty and leaking like a busted fire hydrant. Don't drink while deep in the middle of a Netflix marathon session or sending emails (unless you're also on your trainer). Meaning, if you haven't earned it, you don't deserve it.

I purchased the strawberry lemonade and the flavor is very good. Not too sugary and the ingredients are clean. Unlike Nuun which has natural flavors.

Although it isn't inexpensive, skratch is my favorite sports drink while riding. I have tried others and experienced stomach upset. Not the case with skratch.

Electrolytes and Hydration Without a Churning Gut
by Gary
Cycling Enthusiast
Portland, Oregon
Skratch is my go-to electrolyte replacement mix. It is naturally flavored and easily digested, so I get the benefit of hydration and electrolyte replacement without stomach upset and without a lot of burping. Solid product for cycling, swimming, and triathlon. The 20- or 60-serving pouches work great for filling water bottles at home; I take the individual packets with me while traveling.

Best taste
I�ve tried other powders and Skratch has been the best tasting. It�s the closest in taste to what the flavors are and has no bitter after taste. My stomach also has no problem with it on centuries. For reference I�ve tried GU and liquid IV. I don�t really have a preferred flavor, trying out each one has been one way of treating myself.

Thinking About Drinking
by Lotek7
Cycling Enthusiast

Skratch is the best product I have found for staying hydrated without the problems that occur when you drink overly sugary or salty replacement fluids. There is just enough flavor to do what you are supposed to do drink BEFORE you get thirsty. I usually consume this during hot summer rides then go back to water and green tea when it gets cooler. The bars are very much like a KIND bar but I rarely eat unless a ride is longer than three hours.

Works for me.
by Jerry

I have been using Scratch Lab products for quit a number of years at this time. I keep going back and infact just reordered more of the Lemons and Limes. It doesn't seem to bloat me and it does certainly help with hydration both in high heat situations and for long distance rides. Highly recommended.

Go To Hydration Mix
by D. Walker

Happy Valley, OR
My go to hydration mix for rides when the tempo and outside temperature are increasing. If I'm going out for several hours I'll usually mix one bottle of hydration mix and one bottle of superfuel (only 3 scoops) for energy.

Much easier to drink than any other hydration drink I've tried. Very light and none of the cloying sweetness some other products have. This is my go to drink for long rides.

This is the best
by UT Biker

Love Skratch Labs products. They taste great, keep me hydrated, and give me energy for long rides. I use them all season long for my cycling, and all winter for cross-country skiing. My favorite flavors are Lemons and Limes, and Passion Fruit. The Chocolate Recovery Drink Mix is also excellent. Good stuff.

Awesome. Tried Hammer, good. Tried G-aide, bad. Tried Nuun, average. Then a friend put me on Skratch Hydration mix. What difference. More effective and better taste.. I run about 25% less than the recommended dose with lemon lime, matcha, and passion fruit (aka grandilla in S. Africa) , my favorite flavors. So good that my wifr uses it for bikram yoga! Get your own Skratch honey!
