Why do pro cyclists reach for Skratch instead of traditional sports drinks?

The Skratch Labs Hydration Sport Drink Mix Single Serving is one packet of the drink developed on the pro cycling tour — 80 calories, 19 to 20g of carbohydrates, and 400mg of sodium calibrated to match average sweat composition, flavored only with real fruit. The individual packet format is perfect for testing a flavor, throwing a backup packet in a jersey pocket for a race, or topping off your supply before a long ride. Tear, pour into 12 to 16 oz of water, and shake. Skratch Labs still uses only real fruit for flavor — no artificial sweeteners, colors, or preservatives — which means some natural settling is normal and expected. Just shake before each sip.

Available in four flavors: Orange, Strawberry Lemonade, Lemon + Lime, and Fruit Punch. All caffeine-free. Non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, kosher, nut-free.
