- Who it's for
- Endurance athletes doing long or ultra-distance events who need high carbohydrate intake and struggle to eat solid food at high output or altitude. Hosts reference use cases from marathons to 200-mile races.
- What people are saying
- Hosts consistently praise the mellow, not-overly-sweet flavor and easy digestion for a 100g-carb product. One host notes pairing it with electrolyte tablets to boost sodium, suggesting it may need a supplement for salt needs on longer efforts.
- Worth noting
- Sodium content may be insufficient on its own for very long efforts, per one host who adds Precision Hydration tablets. Serving size delivers 50g carbs, and hosts mention using it at 300–400 calories per flask depending on intensity.
Shelby Farrell's review
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.

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.
