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 drink mixes that tasted artificial, were too sweet, and caused GI distress, created their own formula from scratch using real sugar, salt, and fruit powder. That original secret mix became Skratch, and the philosophy has never changed. Each serving delivers 80 calories, 19 to 20g of carbohydrates, and 400mg of sodium calibrated to match what the average athlete loses in half a liter of sweat. The electrolyte profile includes sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium in the ratios found in human sweat, so your body's thirst becomes a reliable hydration gauge instead of something you have to override. The lower osmolality compared to most sports drinks means fluids absorb faster across the gut, and using real fruit for flavor instead of artificial compounds means you can drink it for hours without flavor fatigue or stomach complaints.

The 60-serving bag is the best format for athletes who go through Skratch consistently and want the lowest cost per serving. Available in six flavors: Fruit Punch, Lemon + Lime, Strawberry Lemonade, Orange, Passion Fruit + Orange + Guava, and Mango. All caffeine-free. Every flavor uses real fruit and no artificial sweeteners, colors, or preservatives. Add one scoop to 12 to 16 oz of water and shake. Start with 1 to 2 servings per hour during exercise and adjust to your thirst. Non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, kosher, nut-free.

How do I use Skratch Hydration Sport Drink Mix?

Add 1 scoop to 12 to 16 oz of water and shake. As a starting point, drink 1 to 2 servings per hour during exercise. Adjust to your thirst rather than a rigid schedule.

Do any of the 60-serving bag flavors contain caffeine?

None of the 60-serving bag flavors carried by DCL contain caffeine. All six flavors (Fruit Punch, Lemon+Lime, Strawberry Lemonade, Orange, Passion Fruit+Orange+Guava, Mango) are caffeine-free.

Why are there particles in my Skratch bottle?

Unlike most sports drinks that use artificial flavors and colors, Skratch uses only real fruit for flavor. This means some settling is normal and expected, just shake before each sip. Real fruit also means no artificial sweetener taste and no gut issues from unnecessary additives.

Can I use this alongside Super High-Carb Drink Mix?

They can complement each other. Hydration Sport Drink Mix provides electrolytes and 80 calories per serving, hydration with light fuel. Super High-Carb provides 400 calories per bottle primarily as fuel. On hot or long days, you can run both in separate bottles.
