What is the difference between Skratch Hydration Mix and Super High-Carb Mix?
Hydration Sport Drink Mix is made to replace the electrolytes lost in sweat, with sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium and 19 to 20g of simple carbs per serving. Super High-Carb Sport Drink Mix is liquid fuel for big days when real food isn't practical: each serving has about 50g of carbs and 200 calories from Cluster Dextrin, plus electrolytes. Skratch designed Hydration Mix to pair with Super High-Carb when you need more carbs and calories.
How much Skratch should I drink per hour during a ride?
Skratch suggests 1 to 2 servings of Hydration Sport Drink Mix per hour of exercise as a starting point, each mixed in 12 to 16 oz of water, and to mind your thirst. One serving of Super High-Carb gives about 50g of carbs, and you can use more or less mix per bottle depending on your carb needs. Skratch notes most athletes aim for 40 to 100g of carbs per hour, depending on how long and hard they are going.
Does Skratch use artificial sweeteners or dyes?
No. Skratch says its Hydration Sport Drink Mix and Energy Chews are flavored only with real fruit, with no artificial sweeteners or colors, and its Recovery Mix and Energy Bars have no artificial sweeteners.
What makes Skratch Hydration Mix different?
Skratch built its electrolyte profile to match what is in sweat: 400mg sodium, 80mg potassium, 100mg calcium, and 80mg magnesium per liter. It uses a small amount of cane sugar and dextrose to help your body absorb fluid faster, and only real fruit for flavor, with no artificial sweeteners or colors.
When should I use Skratch Recovery Mix vs a protein shake?
Recovery Sport Drink Mix gives you carbs, protein, and electrolytes together. Skratch says its 4:1 carb to protein ratio helps replenish glycogen and repair muscle faster than protein alone, and recommends sipping it within 30 minutes of finishing. It's built for endurance athletes after long, hard efforts.
Are Skratch Energy Bars and Chews real food?
Skratch makes its Energy Bars from scratch with fruit, nuts, nut butters, oats, and quinoa, with no brown rice syrup and no protein isolates. Energy Chews are made from sugar, glucose syrup, water, pectin, and real fruit, with no artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners.
Is Super High-Carb worth it over regular hydration mix?
Skratch made Super High-Carb for big days of training or racing when preparing or carrying real food isn't possible. For a shorter, easier ride, Hydration Sport Drink Mix may be all you need. When you need more carbs and calories, Super High-Carb gives about 50g of carbs per serving from Cluster Dextrin, which Skratch says digests easily and steadily, like real food.
What Skratch flavors do you stock?
Stock rotates with seasonal demand, but we typically carry Hydration Mix in Lemon + Lime, Orange, Fruit Punch, Strawberry Lemonade, Mango, Passion Fruit + Orange + Guava, Caffeinated Lemon + Lime, Raspberry Limeade with caffeine, and Variety. Super High-Carb in Lemon + Lime and Raspberry. Recovery in Chocolate, Horchata, Vegan Oat Milk Latte, and Strawberry + Cream. Energy Bars in Cherry + Pistachio, Raspberry + Lemon, Cinnamon + Oatmeal, and Peanut Butter + Chocolate. Energy Chews in Grape, Orange, Raspberry, Lemon + Green Tea, and Sour Cherry with caffeine. Call ahead at (360) 828-1436 to confirm a specific flavor is in stock.
Is Skratch good for hot weather rides?
Yes. Skratch created Hydration Sport Drink Mix to replace the electrolytes lost in sweat, with an electrolyte profile that matches what is in sweat. Skratch suggests 1 to 2 servings per hour as a starting point and to mind your thirst.
Does Skratch contain caffeine?
Most Skratch products are caffeine-free. The ones we stock with caffeine include Energy Chews in Sour Cherry (50mg per pack, from green tea), Recovery Mix in Vegan Oat Milk Latte (56mg per serving), and Hydration Mix in Caffeinated Lemon + Lime and Raspberry Limeade. Check the label for the caffeine in each hydration flavor.
Can I use Skratch products with dietary restrictions?
Hydration Sport Drink Mix and Super High-Carb are vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free, and Hydration Mix is also nut-free. Energy Bars are vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free but contain tree nuts, and the Peanut Butter + Chocolate bar contains peanuts. Recovery Mix in its original flavors is made with complete milk protein, and Vegan Oat Milk Latte is plant-based and dairy-free.

Why We Ride It
Why Skratch earns our PNW recommendation
The Technology
What makes Skratch Labs different
The engineering decisions behind every Skratch Labs product. Real differences, not marketing.
Real food, real science
Skratch founder Dr. Allen Lim developed the original drink mix while working as an exercise physiologist for pro cycling teams, after seeing athletes get sick from drinks that were too sweet and too artificial. Skratch still starts from real ingredients, grounded in science.
No artificial dyes or sweeteners
Skratch Hydration Sport Drink Mix and Energy Chews are flavored only with real fruit, with no artificial sweeteners or colors. Recovery Sport Drink Mix and Energy Bars also skip artificial sweeteners.
Cluster Dextrin for big carbs
Super High-Carb Sport Drink Mix is built on Cluster Dextrin, a highly complex carbohydrate that Skratch says digests easily and steadily, like real food. One serving gives you about 50g of carbs and 200 calories, plus the electrolytes lost in sweat.
Designed to taste light
Hydration Sport Drink Mix uses just enough sugar to help your body absorb fluid and electrolytes faster, but not so much that it overwhelms your gut. The flavor is light, real fruit, so it doesn't wear out your palate on a long ride.
