made from scratch
Skratch Labs makes sports nutrition designed to help you perform better without offending your gut or your taste buds because we use real food, starting from scratch.
We started from sc ratch.
To build a better sports drink, Dr. Allen Lim set out to accomplish three things:
- use less sugar
- include more electrolytes
- only use fruit for flavor

"Sometimes the best option is the simplest option. Focusing on what the body needs is key and natural ingredients are the clear winners. You don't sweat Red Dye #40, so why drink it?"
Real ingredients the body needs.
You may be a complex person but your nutrition needs aren't. Simple is good. Real is even better.
- The ratio of electrolytes you actually lose when you sweat
- Right amount of sugar to replace the energy you've burned
- Non-GMO, gluten free, and kosher

"Some days I drink 15 bottles during training. Traditional sports drinks bogged me down and had me feeling sluggish. I've learned my body needs real stuff for fuel."
