DIY: Gel Making Kit
Here are a few ways to tinker with our products to either create a gel if that is your preferred fuel source or a concentrated bottle for something like an Ironman when the aid station might not have your preferred nutrition, you don't want to open packets etc.
For a gel-like option you can use .5 scoop per every 1 ounce of water.
As a starting point, add 2 scoops to an empty, dry bottle, partially fill with 4-5 oz of water, shake well, and then add 4-5 oz more water and shake again. For better mixing, let it sit for 15 minutes before use.
One serving gives you up to 50g of carbohydrates, plus the electrolytes lost in sweat, to fuel and hydrate your big efforts. Use more or less mix per bottle depending on your carb needs.
You can always start with less and add more as needed, based on your caloric and electrolyte needs.You can mix High-Carb with our other hydration mixes into one bottle but you’ll want to do some math and make sure you are getting an appropriate combination of carbs, sodium, and liquid to your needs and to avoid GI distress (too many carbs in too short of a period and you’ll be busting your gut…). This ratio can change depending on the weather, effort, and other factors, so test things in training and if you have questions, hit us up: info@skratchlabs.com
-You can refrigerate but we do not recommend freezing.
