Our products taste better and feel better--because they have no artificial sweeteners, isolates, colors, or preservatives that might cause GI distress--to help you perform better. Water does not replace the components your body needs to perform. Skratch contains all of the necessary electrolytes in the amounts needed to more closely match what you lose when you sweat. We use whole-food ingredients and a science-based approach to create nutrition that tastes better and feels better. No artificial flavor, colors or preservatives that might cause GI distress. Nutrition is critical in enhancing performance during exercise. Not eating enough can lead to ailments preventing optimal performance. We make a range of products to help keep you from bonking. Pre-workout, during and post-workout require different nutrition. Slow-burning fuel, quick energy and everything in between. We’ve got products to sustain all your energy needs. Different activities and different stages of your activities require different fuel! We make it easy on you and your gut to find something that will keep you crushing those miles. Skratch Hydration Sport Drink Mix was created to replace the electrolytes lost in sweat and to provide a little bit of energy when working out, without offending your palate or gut. We reimagined sports drinks, stripping ours down to the bare essentials and adding real fruit for flavor, to safely hydrate and quench thirst so athletes feel and perform better. Made with whole foods the body can more easily recognize and break down, resulting in easier digestion and alleviating the potential for GI distress. 90% of electrolyte lost is sodium, we also lose potassium, magnesium, and calcium. Skratch has these in amounts to match what you lose when you sweat. Sugar provides quick energy to maintain blood sugar levels for better performance. With sodium, sugar speeds the transport of water into the body. Our Sport Hydration Drink Mix products meet a range of special dietary needs including gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, kosher, nut-free and non-GMO. Sport Hydration Drink Mix Unsweetened Electrolytes Sport Drink Mix Singles Super High-Carb Drink Mix Energy Chew Sport Fuel Recovery Sport Drink Mix A Brand built with ONE goal. Help athletes perform better! We offer nutrition based on science, real ingredients and community support! Athletes were using products that failed them. Dr. Allen Lim saw sweet drinks, hard‑to‑take fuel, and formulas that broke down under real effort. We set out to create something better with real ingredients and practical science. We made products that replace what you lose in sweat and calories during a workout and do not cause GI distress. Only what helps you perform. Most drinks are too sweet to keep up with. We keep it light and balanced, so you can actually stay on top of hydration when it matters. Choose from two unsweetened options: a no‑flavor Electrolyte Booster or a lightly flavored unsweetened Sport Drink Mix. 4:1 carbs to protein for faster recovery, complete aminos for muscle repair, and probiotics that support smooth, easy digestion. For workouts, training, competitions or just because. Try our Chews and Bars for a healthy carb filled snack, to keep you on track. Water replaces fluid. But when you sweat, you’re losing sodium too, and that’s what helps your body hold onto that fluid. If you’re sweating a lot or going longer, just drinking water can actually leave you under-hydrated. Adding electrolytes helps your body absorb and use what you’re drinking. Too much sugar, too concentrated, or hard-to-digest ingredients can slow things down in your gut, especially during hard effort. That’s when you feel sloshing, heaviness, or nausea. We designed our products to help with that! Think of it as two jobs: Hydration keeps your fluid levels in check. Fuel (most importantly - carbs) keeps your energy up. For shorter efforts, you might not need much. For longer ones, small, steady intake of both is what keeps you from falling behind. ## Features - ELECTROLYTE REPLACEMENT - Replaces the electrolytes lost in sweat with a balanced profile of sodium, potassium, and glucose for fast, effective hydration during training and endurance activity - PERFORMANCE HYDRATION - Optimized sodium‑to‑glucose ratio supports rapid absorption, sustained energy, and improved endurance for running, cycling, gym sessions, and outdoor sports. - CLEAN INGREDIENTS ONLY - Made with real food ingredients and free from artificial colors, sweeteners, preservatives, or isolates to reduce GI distress and support clean, consistent performance. - HYDRATES FASTER THAN WATER: Add one scoop to 12–16 oz of water for fast hydration.

Cane sugar listed as the first ingredient, dextrose as the second...??? Is this healthy?** A: Thanks for asking! There is a lot of controversy about sugar in our diet. While, we don’t disagree that excess sugar or excess anything for that matter is bad for us, we do believe that the role that sugar plays in health and performance is about context. In the context of an active lifestyle and more specifically during prolonged or very intense exercise, sugar can be critical to helping to maintain one’s blood sugar, to keeping oneself fueled, and along with sodium can significantly improve the transport of water into the body. The bottom line is that consuming an excess of sugar isn’t good for you if you’re not active. But, if​ ​you’re working hard and sweating, a bit of sugar will improve your performance significantly. So if you're not sweating and working hard, don't use our Sport Hydration Drink Mix. But if you are sweating you need to put back both the water and the electrolytes you’re losing and can best do that with a drink that contains a little bit of sugar and plenty of sodium. Which is all to say, we encourage working athletes not to fear sugar during an effort, and also that the type of sugar is important too - we use REAL cane sugar. Sugar (or glucose) is ultimately the fuel that our body uses, and more specifically, the only source of fuel for our brain, nervous system, and red blood cells. There is of course a balance to all this, but if you're up off the couch and out on the trails it won't hurt to have a bit of carbs to keep you hydrated and fueled. Hope that helps some and don't hesitate to call us at 800-735-8904 or email info@skratchlabs.com if there is anything else we can answer. **Q: The old 1 lb. (454g) bag had 19 servings (24 g/serving), this has been reduced to 15.5 oz (440g) but servings increased to 20 (22 g/serving). Why?** A: Thanks for the question! Because Skratch Labs is a food product and not a supplement product, it has to abide by strict FDA regulations and to conform to their standards, they base the serving size off a 12-16 oz serving. With the new Sport Hydration drink mix you'll get 20 servings if measured out correctly using the scoop provided. The "old" Exercise hydration drink mix was based off a serving of 500 ml which is slightly more which is why you would get ~19 servings per bag for that given serving size. It's still the same great product from Skratch, but because of new regulations they had to alter the nutrition panels to meet FDA standards. Let us know if you need anything else, and thanks for all the support of Skratch! **Q: What is the concentration of electrolytes after mixing with water?** A: The electrolyte profile is a reflection of the median or low side of average that we see for the population - about 750-800 mg of sodium per liter. This is about twice as high as what you’d find in typical sports drinks, but potentially still on the lower side of normal for the population. Because sweat is mostly sodium and because sodium is the most important electrolyte to replace to help drive thirst and to maintain proper physiological performance, we have an electrolyte ratio that is high on sodium and much lower with respect to potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Despite the fact that potassium, calcium, and magnesium are lost in relatively small amounts compared to sodium, our drink contains a little more of those electrolytes than is typically lost in sweat. **Q: Is this similar to Liquid I.V, so drinking one glass would be sinilar to 2-3 glasses of plain water?** A: Hi Ashley, thank you for for reaching out. I'm not familiar with Liquid I.V, but 1 serving of Skratch hydration mix matches most people's sweat loss. 400mg of sodium and 19g of sugar per 500ml of water to hydrate you faster than water alone. Let us know if we can help with anything else.
