Sodium accounts for roughly 90% of the electrolytes you lose through sweat, yet most sports drinks skimp on it while loading up on sugar and artificial ingredients. Skratch Labs built the Hydration Sport Drink Mix around an electrolyte profile that actually matches what leaves your body during exercise: 400mg sodium per serving, plus potassium, calcium, and magnesium in proportions designed to reflect real sweat composition. The formula originated on the professional cycling tour, developed for athletes who needed something that worked without wrecking their stomachs.
