Skratch is easy to understand: sugar for modest fuel, sodium and smaller amounts of other electrolytes, with flavour built from fruit ingredients. That is more honest than zero-sugar “performance” theatre. The missing piece is a comparable public product-level sport certification record.

Formula and label
The standard mix uses cane sugar and dextrose alongside sodium citrate and smaller electrolyte sources. Skratch reports about 400 mg sodium per litre. The sugar is functional carbohydrate, not a defect, but it must be counted within the session’s overall fuel plan.
Laboratory and certification trail
The official page provides ingredients and electrolyte positioning. We did not locate this product in the major public sport-certification directories reviewed. That means fewer external-verification points, not evidence of contamination or failed testing.
Company accountability
Skratch explains why carbohydrate is present and separates hydration products by use. The company’s coaching language remains marketing unless supported by external evidence.
Where this fits
A reasonable middle-ground drink for riders and runners who want light fuel and palatable fluid. It is not a sodium-replacement solution for every high-salt sweater and not needed for every workout.
Limits and update trigger
No taste, tolerance or purchased-lot analysis. Flavour nutrition and individual sweat needs vary.
Evidence register
Source rule: Manufacturer pages establish the current label and company claims. Independent directories establish only the certification, product, region and batches they actually list. Popularity, awards and affiliate economics add zero points.
