What about the added sugars? Cane sugar listed as the first ingredient, dextrose as the second...??? Is this healthy?

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.

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?

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!

What is the concentration of electrolytes after mixing with water?

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.

Is this similar to Liquid I.V, so drinking one glass would be sinilar to 2-3 glasses of plain water?

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. PR

Skratch Labs Hydration Powder | Sport Drink Mix - A Game Changer!

I absolutely love Skratch Labs Hydration Powder! It’s by far the best sport drink mix I’ve found that actually tastes great without any stevia. I’ve tried countless other brands, but they either tasted too artificial or left me feeling dehydrated—this one does neither! It keeps me well-hydrated during workouts, and the flavors are refreshing.The cucumber flavor was my absolute favorite—such a unique and crisp taste! I really wish they would bring it back. That said, the lemon-lime and fruit punch flavors are also top-notch and definitely worth trying. Skratch Labs really hits the mark when it comes to hydration and flavor without any weird aftertaste or artificial sweeteners. Highly recommend!

Natural products for endurance runs

Searching for a product that doesn't cause GI distress (no cramps!) while i ran. FOUND it! The strawberry flavor is light and refreshing. Tho i typically use less powder in each bottle than the directions state. Easy to dissolve in my handheld running bottle. Able to stay hydrated during the long runs of 14 miles. Bonus is the lack of stevia!

Really seems to hydrate, great tasting.

Taking for about a week. Easy to drink, good tasting & dissolves in our glass tumblers quickly. Husband has been feeling very dehydrated especially in this hot weather and feels much better, no headaches. The night sweats are getting less everynight. The first night actually had NO sweating! Seems to really be working...this brand was recommended to us. We both have two 16oz glasses a day.

Good product for runners

Used this for a half marathon. The taste is great and it seemed to really help with hydration. I like how this one does have sugar so I could use as fuel if I couldn’t stomach other options. Great price as well!

Hydration and Fuel On The Go

This is the best naturally flavored hydration mix ever. I highly recommend Lemon Lime over the Orange, but I'd trust any product made by Skratch Labs. Top quality goods!

I want to like this product

I love how they use real sugar and less ingredients than most mixes. But, a scoop for 16oz is not enough. And the plastic scoop is too big to put into a water bottle. The last thing I need to complain about, is how the bag ripped on its own where the ziplock is, and it won’t properly close so now it’s exposed to air constantly and idk if that will make it go bad.After adding another half scoop to 16oz, it tastes great! I have POTS and can handle the extra electrolytes safely so I don’t mind the extra scoop. I want to like this brand. I’ll give them another shot when this bag is gone.Edit: seller responded to my complaint with a full refund so I will be getting another bag! Great customer service, I didn’t even expect such a thing.

Works and goes down smooth!

My son plays soccer 5x a week and needs a hydration drink during games and practices to keep his energy levels up. He says Skratch does the job and tastes better, without the chalky texture that some drinks have.
