Skratch Labs | Hydration Packets Hydration Drink Mix, Strawberry Lemonade (0.8 Ounce - Pack of 20)

I use these for every ride over an hour long and can't recommend them enough. They are especially good for endurance cycling having used them for rides of 200+ miles and despite there being many other products out there many of which I've tested, these are my go-to. They taste good too!

This stuff is great but you must remember to have this and then hydrate with water… it doesn’t hydrate you, it kicks your body into hydrate mode which you have to follow up with drinking plenty of water. I don’t thinks some people understand how they work.

As a daily swimmer and endurance workout junkie, finding a hydration mix that doesn’t mess with my stomach has been tough—until I tried Skratch Labs. The Strawberry Lemonade flavor tastes refreshingly real (no fake sugar aftertaste), mixes cleanly, and actually keeps me hydrated. Plus, it’s made with real-food ingredients—no artificial junk. Exactly what I want when I’m pushing hard and need quick, comfortable hydration.

It uses real sugar!

I like to drink oral re-hydration solution instead of water a lot of the time because I have two chronic illnesses that mess with my blood pressure if I don't stay super well hydrated. This stuff serves that purpose well. I bought the packets to try before I committed to one of the big bags. I only have two complaints: 1) It doesn't always dissolve all the way, or stay dissolved, even when I use more water than is called for. I deal with this by shaking my water bottle a few times before drinking from it if I see sediment at the bottom. 2) While the solution itself tastes good, my water bottle's rim ends up tasting salty by the time I'm halfway through the bottle. It's a little unpleasant. I find that the fruit punch flavor doesn't have this effect, so I buy big bags of the fruit punch flavor and keep these packets in my purse in case I get dizzy while I'm out and about.

I use Skratch all the time because of Orthostatic Hypotension, but in the bag. I recently had to make an unexpected trip to California for a family medical situation and I knew it was going to be HOT there. I didn't want to carry the bag with me back and forth to the hospital(and on the plane) as I knew I would need extra electrolytes throughout the day. These packets were perfect to carry with me and knew it wouldn't affect me adversely because I already use it all the time (I have migraines so need to be wary of fake sugars, additives, etc) So happy Skratch lab goes the extra mile to make sure everyone can use their products!

I use these on my runs and they're super helpful! They don't taste salty and keep me feeling strong on the longer runs. They mix well, they provide adequate hydration and energy. I run with a 2L pack so I use 2-3 for a balanced taste. They ingredients are clean and give me confidence as I use them frequently during the summer months!
