Skratch Labs: Fuel + Hydration

Skratch Labs is a sports nutrition company based in Boulder, Colorado. Our mission is simple. Make sports nutrition that tastes great, helps athletes perform better, and does not make you sick. The idea started when exercise physiologist Dr. Allen Lim saw professional cyclists getting sick from sports drinks that were too sweet, too artificial, and too hard on the gut. So he started from scratch in his kitchen, mixing real ingredients together to create something that actually worked. That “Secret Drink Mix” quickly spread through the pro peloton. When it proved it worked, Allen teamed up with former professional cyclist Ian MacGregor to turn that homemade solution into Skratch Labs. Today we still follow the same principles: • Real food. Not flavoring systems. • Formulas based on physiology and practicality. Not hype. • Fuel that works with your body. Not against it. We started with Olympians. Today we support anyone who sweats on purpose. Taste. Real. Performance. Got questions? DM us. 🤗

Your body tells the truth. When it needs electrolytes, carbs, fluid. We built Skratch so you can actually listen. No mystery blends, no artificial nonsense. Just real ingredients you can combine however you need on any given day. Think of these as your modular building blocks for feeling good while you train, play, and recover... basically for being a human who sweats. 💦 Hydration • Just electrolytes, no sugar? → Unsweetened Hydration • Electrolytes + a little carb? → Hydration Sport Drink Mix • Want to add or customize electrolytes? → Electrolyte Booster • Long endurance days and races? → Super High-Carb Drink Mix 🔥 Fuel • Long endurance days and races? → Super High-Carb Drink Mix • Quick, fast-absorbing carbs before or during training? → Energy Chews • Real food with more substance? → Energy Bars 🧡 Recovery Post hard, long, or high-intensity efforts? → Recovery Sport Drink Mix 📚 Learn Want to go deeper? → Feedzone Cookbooks Save this for later.

GI distress during exercise usually isn’t one simple thing. 🤢 Heat stress, intensity, dehydration, and overly concentrated drinks can all make it harder for your gut to keep up when you’re training or racing. Dr. Allen Lim explains that drinks with a lower concentration than blood can help support the movement of water across the gut. Pair that with cooling strategies, and you may give your gut a better chance under stress. Here’s some tips to help with GI distress: 🧃 Keep fluids cold when you can 🧊 Use ice bandanas or ice socks in the heat 💦 Dump water on your head 🍼 Pay attention to bottle concentration 🚴‍♀️ Practice your fueling before race day Sometimes GI issues aren’t about having a “weak gut.” Sometimes your gut is dealing with too much heat, too much concentration, or too much stress all at once.
