The Skratch Labs Hydration Sport 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.

My husband and I have used other hydration products for years. Earlier this year, we tried Scratch Passion Fruit flavor Sport Hydration Powder. We absolutely love it. So much so, we threw away all of our other hydration products. No fizz to go flat or aftertaste, just great taste. We use 1 12 scoops of powder per 10 - 12 ounces of water poured into a 21 ounce Camelbak Podium Ice bottle loaded with ice. It is the perfect formula for us. Enjoy!
Ive tried and used many products but have always had stomach issues after several months. Decided to give Scratch Labs a try and it has been well worth it. Ive now been using this product for several yrs with no problems. It is light and clean and has caused zero stomach issues. Works great in the lovely Florida heat and humidity. Its not sugar sweet or has an after taste.
Great product for hydration and contains carbohydrates. It has barely any taste which is good because I mix it in my water bottle to plus up my Xtend electrolytes grape flavor. I ride in FL heat 95-100 degrees and feel confident that I will not heat stress due to electrolyte loss.
I switched recently to Skratch labs and have been very pleased with it during my mountain bike rides. The flavor is subtle but tastes good and helps for me as a sweaty rider. The fruit punch flavor is my favorite so far.
If you've been using the sugary and syrupy grocery store energy drinks, you should try this. More like mildly flavored water than the heavy store varieties. I use it in place of water for rides over one hour. Along with appropriate solids, it keeps me from the bonk.
I've been trying different drink mixes over the last 6 months and find the scratch labs one to be the most pleasant one I've tried so far. It's not too sweet and has a very light flavor so I don't find myself getting sick of it halfway through the bottle like I do with other drink mixes.
I started with Skratch Hydration at the beginning of 2020. With the pandemic lockdowns, I wound up riding nearly 1k miles/month in my garage, and really increased my hydration needs especially through the hot summer. I'd wind up going through a 20 serving bag every 2-3 weeks, but the electrolytes definitely work, as my heart rate was much more under control with this than just water alone.
I've used Fluid, SIS and Gatorade over the years. Fluid is awesome, but flavors are limited and get boring. SIS tends to be less sweet, while Gatorade is too sweet, even when watered down. The Skratch pineapple and strawberry flavors are my favorite by far.
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.
