- Who it's for
- Endurance athletes with high calorie demands — ultramarathon runners, 100+ mile racers — who struggle to eat solid food at high output or altitude. Works well for marathons and long runs when concentrated carb intake is the priority.
- What people are saying
- Hosts consistently praise the light, mellow flavor and easy stomach tolerance even at high concentrations (200–400 calories per flask). One host notes it goes down without grittiness; another pairs it with electrolyte tablets to compensate for lower sodium content.
- Worth noting
- Flexible concentration — hosts use it anywhere from 200 to 400 calories per flask, scaling to individual needs. Low sodium means some users supplement with separate electrolytes.
Next Best Run 's review
This one is for the runners with really high carb needs on the run. It has 50g of carbs per serving. This is Kim's go-to for long runs and the marathon. She combines lemon lime with Precision Hydration tablets to boost the sodium content in her bottle.

Sugar, Sugar, and more SUGAR! That's how you finish 200 mile races. The name says it all - Super high carb is the best drink mix on the market. It goes down easy, isnt gritty, and in general, makes me feel like a superhero.

It can be hard to eat during high out put activities or at high altitudes. This drink mix fills the gap. It easy on the stomach and provides calories when you need them most.

I actually bought the individual packs to make it easier on my crew and so I can have backup in my vest. Ideally, every flask has 200 calories / 50g of carbs in it from Skratch.
