Why We Love It
Skratch Labs' Super High-Carb Lemon & Lime Sport Drink Mix is serious sports science, a drink mix created for athletes who are going so hard they can’t take in enough calories. It uses cluster dextrin as a carbohydrate source, which provides 200 calories plus electrolytes per 53g serving. Skratch Labs have tested the formula with elite athletes including Gwen Jorgenson, a gold-medal-winning triathlete, and have proven its effectiveness in powering superhuman efforts without causing gastrointestinal distress. Because chewing is overrated anyway, right?
Talk Nerdy To Me
So, what exactly is cluster dextrin? Here’s what Skratch has to say: a cluster dextrin molecule has 60 to 70 glucose units linked together, while maltodextrin (the most common carb used in gels and drinks) contains 3–20 glucose units. That’s why it’s such a fantastic source of energy, providing 200 calories in every 53g serving. Best of all, cluster dextrin has a unique structure that steadily releases energy instead of everything breaking down at once, eliminating the risk of gastro problems while you’re pushing hard.
