Skratch Hydration Sport Drink Mix was created to replace the electrolytes lost in sweat and to provide a little bit of energy when working out, without offending your palate or gut. We reimagined sports drinks, stripping ours down to the bare essentials to safely hydrate and quench thirst, so that athletes feel and perform better. The right electrolyteSodium makes up - 90% of the electrolytes lost in sweat. Our hydration mixes match average sweat loss with 400mg sodium plus potassium, calcium, and magnesium, so its easier to stay hydrated. Carbs that do more than fuel19-20g of simple carbs (glucose + fructose) per serving to support rapid hydration, maintain blood sugar, and keep your energy steady - so you can hard without bonking. Real fruit. no flavour fatigue.Flavoured only with real fruit for light taste-no artificial sweeteners or colours. That means no gut issues or flavour fatigue. Just hydration you'll actually want to drink. Performance you can trustThe original Skratch mix-developed on the pro cycling tour for athletes who needed something better. Still used by the pros. Still our go-to. Low osmolality. no GI distressLower osmolality means faster fluid absorption and less risk of GI distress. Our hydration helps your body retain and use fluid efficiently - so you stay hydrated without discomfort. What are electrolytes and what do they do? Electrolytes are minerals, like sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, that help your body hold onto fluid, maintain proper muscle function, and keep your nervous system firing. When you sweat, you lose more than just water, you also lose electrolytes, especially sodium. If you don’t replace both, your performance can suffer. Replacing them helps you stay hydrated and perform better, longer. What’s the science behind the electrolyte profile? Our electrolyte profile was developed to match what is in sweat - 400 mg sodium/L, 80 mg potassium/L, 100 mg calcium/L, 80 mg magnesium/L. We include the average amount of electrolytes lost in sweat, especially sodium, so your hydration reflects what your body actually needs. That balance helps your body absorb water faster and makes thirst a better guide during exercise. Why does Hydration Sport Drink Mix include sugar? A small amount of sugar helps your body absorb fluid faster through something called sodium-glucose co-transport - this helps water and electrolytes move from your gut into your bloodstream more quickly. It also gives you a steady source of energy. We use just enough to help you perform, not so much that it overwhelms your gut or your taste buds.
