The 30 minutes after a hard effort matter more than most athletes realize. Your muscles are depleted of glycogen, protein breakdown is accelerated, and fluid losses need addressing before the next session. Skratch Labs built the Recovery Sport Drink Mix around this window, combining 35 grams of carbohydrates with 8 grams of complete milk protein in a 4:1 ratio that research supports for faster glycogen replenishment and muscle repair than either nutrient alone. Two scoops mixed into water delivers 200 calories and 270mg of sodium—enough to bridge the gap between finishing and your next real meal.

Complete milk protein contains both whey and casein in their naturally occurring proportions. Whey absorbs quickly to kickstart muscle protein synthesis while casein digests slowly to sustain amino acid delivery over hours. Many recovery drinks isolate one or the other, but the combination provides both immediate and extended benefits. The protein also acts as a natural emulsifier, which means no soy lecithin or other additives to achieve a smooth texture.

Digestibility can be a real issue when your gut is stressed from exertion. The formula includes lactase enzyme to break down milk lactose, plus Bacillus coagulans GBI-30 6086 probiotic at 1 billion active cultures per serving. This particular strain survives stomach acid and delivers live cells more effectively than typical probiotic yogurts, supporting both digestion and protein utilization when your system is most vulnerable....
