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.

My go-to hydration mix.
by Mark

I've tried others but Skratch hydration mix is the best. Not too sweet but just enough flavor. It's also pretty good about not growing stuff in your bottle if you happen to not rinse it right away.

Skratch is the best

I love that I can vary how much I can use in a bottle. Normally the recommendation is for 1.5 scoops, but I can do 4 scoops and get 80g of CHO per bottle without stomach issues. The flavor is excellent--nothing fake or chemical-ly tasting here. Skratch is my go-to!

Love Skratch hydration mix. Been using it for several years now. Really like this larger size if for no other reason than making it easier to scoop. I found the smaller bags harder to use and always transferred the powder into a container. Not necessary with this new size.

Great hydration mix and better value than 20serving bags

My household has been using this hydration mix for years for biking and triathlon... we've tried others but we prefer this. Skratch isn't overly sweet, sticky or too salty. It also lacks the artificial sweeteners found in other mixes that upset my stomach. All the flavors are great. My only gripes about the 60 serving bag is that I really wish they offered the Matcha flavor in it... that and price but I generally stock up whenever Skratch is on sale.

Tasty and meaningful.

I use this primarily in warm or hot weather (today). I've used it for many years before moving from Texas where riding in the heat was what you did if you wanted to ride.
It never upset my stomach and I found myself drinking more because it tasted to good. I'd often take two full large bottles with this mix and carry some more mix to use when I filled my bottles with water during a long ride.
This is the best "on ride" mix I've ever used!

One of the better Skratch flavors
by Anonymous

Strawberry Lemonade is one of my favorite Skratch versions. Having it available in the 60-serving bag is a bonus, and when it's on sale it's even better! Can easily double the concentration without it being too sweet or the flavor too strong. A winner!

Great product that is easy to digest
by mtbgirl

I use this product regularly to hydrate when I'm out on the bike or running. Because it uses the correct ratio and form of electrolytes and easy-to-digest natural sugars, I never have GI issues when using. Super product!

Stay on top of your hydration!
by SCcyclist

My average hydration requirements while cycling are 24 ounces per hour. More on a hot day (2x in Phoenix!), less on cool days. I've only cramped once, on a hot century ride with headwinds.... and vowed to never "go there" again, in regards to coming up short on hydration. SKRATCH Labs gets kudos for their science and product development. One and a half scoops for a 24 oz bottle keeps me in a "safe" zone for an hour, or slightly more. Good stuff!

Always Refreshing
by Mario vK
Cycling Enthusiast

Unlike other sports drink mixes, I never get tired of this product. The fact that it is made with real fruit makes it refreshing and easy on the stomach, whether you are sweating buckets during long summer efforts, doing a grueling climbing or interval day, or racing. It is sweet, but never cloying, just enough to make reaching for your bottle a bit of joy. Even tastes good when it's on the warm side. It has helped keep cramps at bay on really hot and humid days where exertion levels are high. When my bottles are empty and I have to refill with something else at a convenience store, it is always a bit of a disappointment. A bit on the expensive side, but worth it.

The next best thing to drinking form the Fountain of Youth.
by Lotek7

If you've ever stricken with cramps due to dehydration I can tell you that is a life experience you don't want to repeat. Skratch labs is never sticky or too sweet enabling you to drink without the bloated feeling you get from things like Gatorade. There are just enough calories to keep your energy up. I have tried most of the flavors but Lemon Lime is a safe bet if you are a first time buyer. My wife has become a fan. When she goes for long hikes she will ask me to put some in her bottles. I have been using the product since it was introduced years ago and except in the winter when I add organic pear juice to the bottle for more calories I have never used anything else. I should mention I still take one bottle in the winter just not three as for hot weather rides.

Works faster with tempered water
by Bay Area Rider

SF Bay Area
I usually get major hamstring cramps AFTER the ride (even when staying hydrated during the ride). Following instructions (12-16 oz of water) by SKRATCH found it took about 20 min to kick in - too long. So I tried full dose with 1/3 cup of tempered water, 5 short minutes for it to kick in - LESS PAIN - Great Product

I've been plague with leg cramps for many years, nothing ever worked. Was talking to a competitive bike racer and asked him if he had any recommendations. He recommended SKRATCH, IT WORKED, knocks down cramps within 5 minutes with no lingering tightness in muscles. I recently tried Orange, more like orange whisper. LIme is good.

Skratch,orange

I've been using this product for a while. In addition to being a vegan product it's a high quality hydration drink.
I've always used the Lemon Lime flavor, but for my last order I decided to try the orange one. Quite frankly, it works well, but it doesn't even have a hint of orange,it's just sweet water. In the future, I'll only order lemon lime.

My water bottle always contains Skratch - no more dehydration issues on long or hot rides. I also like that the flavors are very mellow, not overwhelming me with sweetness when really thirsty.
