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.

Customer Reviews
Amazing fuel source. I used three of these as my primary fuel for a big 12 hour day this summer and found them to be fantastic as my primary calorie source.
Lemon lime tastes great, maybe eventually I'll try another flavor.
Warning: make sure you mix it well or you end up with a big gooey snot in your water flask, a mistake I promise you'll only make once.
After several attempts at mixing up 16 oz batches and following the instructions to start with 4-5 oz is still creating a clumpy mixture. Guessing that due to the lack of getting a good mixture also leads to a lack of any noticeable flavor as well. Will keep experimenting, perhaps room temp water will help it to mix more thoroughly.
The best super high carb help me. A lot in my hard training and I order more from now on .
great product follow directions or it may tend to clump. Start with a dry bottle
The raspberry super hi carb mix helped me through training for an upcoming race. Made it much more convenient to get the carbs and calories for the race, vs. trying to eat chews and gels on the fly. I enjoyed the mild taste, and it was easy on my stomach.
Just buy two, you will want a second after seeing the results of the first one.
Love the lemon lime & mango flavors. I use this for long runs and biking. I always add half a scoop of Skratch Hydration. Great on my sensitive stomach.
As a woman with Hashimoto's/Hypothyroidism, my options for race nutrition are limited. This has been a gamechanger! No inflammatory sugar, no maltodextrin. Also, liquid nutrition has allowed my energy levels to remain stable throughout my rides/runs/swims. TRY THIS NOW!
Keeps my muscles from getting weak during intense PT workouts!
Love this product for carb density. Easily fill a bottle with 1-2 hours of energy and it tastes great.
