SKRATCH Labs Sport Hydration Drink Mix, Variety Pack (4 of Each Flavor) - Natural, Electrolyte Powder Developed for Athletes and Sports Performance, Gluten Free, Vegan, Kosher

We've tried several brands of hydration products and these are our favorite. We're not athletes and we don't hike or climb rocks. We just live at sea level and visit our kids in Colorado a couple times a year. Early on, we learned to hydrate as much as possible to avoid feeling sick from the altitude, and hydration products like this make a huge difference in how we feel. Here's why we like this brand the best: The packets are easy to carry in a pocket or small purse. I used to be a Gatorade or Pedialyte drinker when I needed electrolytes but those are too bulky for traveling, especially when flying. No stevia. Many brands use stevia to sweeten their products but stevia upsets my stomach. It also has a weird aftertaste in my opinion. (Sorry Liquid IV.) This one is sweetened with sugar. No bitterness. Some brands have a bitter aftertaste. (I really wanted to like you, Tailwind.) Mixes completely in a bottle of water. No chunks or grit at the bottom of the bottle. It's invisible. Natural flavors. The orange tastes like an orange. The lemon lime tastes like lemons and limes. We were lucky enough to visit the Skratch Labs Cafe in downtown Boulder, CO where they have premixed hydration water on tap (!! I know.) and our first reaction to trying it was "Wow. I didn't know hydration products could taste so good." If you're trying to drink a lot more water than you're used to, either to just build a better water drinking habit or because you need to replace electrolytes as you rehydrate, try this one. Makes the water go down easier and helps your body use the water more effectively while tasting fantastic.

Tastes great and I love that it has real sugar (not too much though) and not artificial sugars. Blends fast in water, doesn’t upset stomach, and the different flavors are great. Good value compared to other products that don’t taste as good.

These taste great and I love that they don’t have artificial sweetener. I hate the aftertaste of artificial sweetener, and carbs give you energy when you’re sweating and working or playing hard! I really enjoy the flavor variety and how natural these taste. They dissolve well and are not gritty. Big fan!

Scratch product is excellent - the best of its kind. I am a loyal purchaser and user. However, Amazon delivery was questionable - delivered in a soft package with zero padding so thin cardboard box was in tatters. Luckily the powder packets were intact. But clearly Amazon needs a more suitable packaging solution for this product.

I am SO HAPPY to have found a hydration packet that uses REAL sugar and freeze dried fruit powder! There is no artificial sweetners or sugar alcohols! There's no nasty Stevia either! These packets work very well for my chronic dehydration and my cramps have stopped! My only criticism is their Lemon Lime flavor leaves a lot to be desired. It's icky, to be honest. The other 4 flavors in the variety pack are much, much better! I highly recommend to those who just want real sugar without anything artificial.
