Overview

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

Skratch Labs Hydration Sport Drink Mix was literally developed on the pro cycling tour. Two cycling pros, frustrated by artificial sports drinks that caused GI distress, created their own formula from scratch using real sugar, salt, and fruit powder. That secret mix became Skratch. Each serving delivers 80 calories, 19 to 20g of carbohydrates, and 400mg of sodium matched to the average electrolyte profile of human sweat, including potassium, calcium, and magnesium in the right ratios. Lower osmolality means faster fluid absorption compared to higher-concentration sports drinks, and real fruit flavoring means you can drink it all day without flavor fatigue or stomach complaints. Skratch Labs is still based in Boulder, CO and still used by pros at every level of cycling.

The 20-serving bag is the right mid-size format: enough for several weeks of training, versatile enough to try a wider range of flavors. DCL carries eight flavors: Lemon + Lime, Fruit Punch, Strawberry Lemonade, Orange, Mango, Passion Fruit + Orange + Guava (all caffeine-free), plus Raspberry Limeade (50mg caffeine per serving) and Caffeinated Lemon + Lime. Mix one scoop into 12 to 16 oz of water. Non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, kosher, nut-free.
