Skratch Labs
Built for athletes who work long enough that carbohydrates are part of hydration. Judge it as food-plus-electrolytes, not against zero-sugar sticks.
| Field | Skratch Labs |
|---|---|
| Format | Bulk powder + sticks |
| Sugar | ~19–20 g carbs (Sport) |
| Sweetener | Cane sugar + dextrose |
| Best for | Endurance training where the sugar is fuel, not a flaw — real-fruit flavours and a gentle-on-the-stomach reputation. |
| Not for | Sugar-free shoppers, or anyone wanting high potassium — at 50 mg, potassium is a minor ingredient here. |
