Their Sport Hydration mix hydrates faster than water alone (facilitated transport in the gut thanks to glucose/fructose and sodium!), is designed to minimize GI distress and flavor fatigue, and has an electrolyte profile that matches actual sweat.
.
Skratch mashups are also great with their recovery mixes too... did someone say mocha?... Yup Skratch Chocolate + Coffee Recovery. Cinnamon Vanilla Latte?... Coffee + Horchata. Plenty of ways to milk your Skratch for all that it is worth 🥛 ☕ 🍵#skratchdealer #skratchlabs

Hydration Mix 101
Don't leave yourself high and dry. Come by the shop and pick up some Skratch Labs Sport Hydration Drink Mix. It was created for a simple purpose - to replace the electrolytes lost in sweat and to provide a little bit of energy when working out, without offending the palate or gut.
Skratch initially created this drink because some of the world’s best athletes needed better. Conventional sports drinks made them sick. They were undrinkable - too sweet, over-flavored, and didn’t even replace what was lost in sweat – which defeated the whole purpose, like fighting thirst with more thirst. Come see us to load up on your hydration needs so you can bust your butt not your gut! #skraatchdealer #skratchlabs

Why Water Isn't Enough
Your body is made up of 60-75% water and when you sweat, you begin to lose water quickly. To avoid cramping, nausea, confusion, cutting your workout early, or a DNF at your next race, you can’t just replace the water you lost. Replacing the sodium is critical to rehydrating successfully. Here at ******** stock up on Skratch Labs Hydration mix to replace what you need. We love Skratch because it is what you need and nothing more. No artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, or fillers. You don't sweat red dye, so why drink it?

How many servings of Skratch did you go through this past weekend? For every scoop you had drop a 🥄 ⬇️
In theory, the best thing to drink when you’re sweating is your own sweat. But drinking sweat would taste gross... Without fruit, citric acid and sugar, Skratch Hydration Mix tastes just like sweat. But with real fruit for flavor, and no preservatives, artificial flavors or colors, our Skratch tastes clean and light.
See us at the shop to pick some up for your next ride!

Sweat isn’t just water; it’s also made up of electrolytes, especially salt (or sodium chloride), which makes up about 90% of the electrolytes we lose.
Pro tip: Don't just drink water. If you fail to replace the electrolytes - specifically the sodium lost in sweat - you're setting your body up to feel like crap.
Stay hydrated and perform your best. Here's how: https://blog.skratchlabs.com/blog/make-thirst-work-for-you

Why Water Isn't Enough
While drinking water alone is just fine if you’re sitting around or having dinner at home, drinking water alone is not fine if you’re trying to rehydrate when you’re sweating or have some illness or hangover that results in... we don't want you to lose your appetite.
-
Drinking water alone when we are exercising can be risky since we can lose an appreciable amount of sodium in our sweat (700 to 1400 mg per liter of sweat) and if we don’t replace that sodium then an influx of just water can dilute the sodium in our body. This can lead to a scenario called hyponatremia, which include symptoms like headache, confusion, a drop in performance, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and more. This scenario can be avoided the closer one gets to replacing both the water and sodium lost in one's sweat.
-
In fact, even if you're not exactly matching the sodium lost in your sweat, during prolonged exercise in the heat at moderate to heavy sweat rates there is no situation where drinking water alone is better than a sports drink that contains a little bit of sugar and plenty of sodium. Here at the shop to solve this problem, we stock and use Skratch Sport Hydration Drink Mix. It replaces what you need with none of the extras like artificial colors or flavors. You don't sweat red dye so why drink it?

Skratch Sport Recovery Drink Mix is designed to rapidly refuel, rehydrate, and rebuild you when you’re completely empty after your longest and hardest workouts.
It’s for those times when you’re totally cooked and you don’t have a personal chef to hand you a burrito or the time to make one yourself. It’s not designed for recovering after an easy stroll around the neighborhood or for getting swole. But, if you accidentally do get swole, make sure to post pictures on Instagram.
It has a 4 to 1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein, that’s designed to bring your blood sugar up fast. This causes the hormone insulin to spike, which is key to getting the sugar, electrolytes, fat, and protein in the Sport Recovery Drink Mix back into muscle fast. To help you get back out and do it again tomorrow!

Cold weather/indoor training hydration
Even when the sweat isn't dripping, chilly weather is a prime time to focus on what's in your water bottle.
During winter activities you may not sense that you are losing a lot of fluid or you may not feel that you need to drink, making sure you stay on top of your hydration, especially with something warm. It’s a lot easier to keep your core temperature up from the inside out than it is from the outside in, so having an insulated bottle and keeping some warm hydration product can be a small but significant thing.
This is one of the main reasons we stock Skratch hydration, it can be served warm! Something to use on those cold days that tastes good hot and that reminds you to bring something out with you that had some calories and electrolytes. #skratchdealer #skratchlabs

Real fruit and a light dusting of granulated sugar and sour powder for function and taste -- they also use two types of carbs (glucose and fructose) to speed up the absorption of energy in your body.
