Super High Carb

It’s built for big efforts when eating solid food gets tricky. Each serving delivers 50g of fast-absorbing carbs and 200 calories, so you can fuel long sessions or races with fewer bottles, fewer bars, and fewer GI issues. Think of it as food, in liquid form, for when you're working hard and need to keep moving.

No–same formula, same total carbs, same performance.

What changed is the serving size and scoop to make it easier to measure and adjust your fueling.

Nope! What changed is the serving size—it’s now 50g carbs instead of 100g—so you’ll see more servings per bag. The total carbs per bag are the same.

The scoop was updated to match the new serving size.

Instead of ~7 smaller scoops, you now use 2 larger scoops per 50g of carbs serving—so it’s easier to measure.

Instead of relying on just one type of carb, we combine glucose-based carbs and fructose, which your body absorbs through different pathways. Most of the carbs come from a smooth-digesting complex carb, with a touch of fructose to help your body absorb and use more energy per hour. The result is steadier fueling, fewer stomach issues, and a way to take on big days without wrecking your gut.

Cluster Dextrin is a high-performance carbohydrate used in our Super High-Carb Drink Mix to deliver a lot of energy without wrecking your gut.

It’s a big, complex carb that breaks down slowly and evenly—kind of like a bus carrying tons of fuel in one smooth ride. Compare that to regular sugar, which is like a bunch of tiny cars. If you pack too many in at once, you get a traffic jam (aka GI distress).

Why it’s better: Cluster Dextrin gives you more calories per molecule, which means lower concentration in your gut and faster water absorption. That’s key for staying hydrated and fueled without bloating or stomach issues—especially during hard efforts or long days.

It depends on your effort, intensity, and what else you're eating or drinking. Start by replacing about half the calories you burn per hour—that’s usually 200–400 calories for most athletes.

2 scoops = 200 calories / 50g carbs

4 scoops = 400 calories / 100g carbs

Not sure where to start? Try 2 scoops in 16oz water and adjust based on how you feel.

You can still scale your intake based on your needs:

2 scoops = 50g carbs

4 scoops = 100g carbs

This update actually makes it easier to adjust up or down depending on your workout or race.

Yes! You can adjust the amount of scoops based on your needs,

1 scoop = 100 calories / 25g carbs

2 scoops = 200 calories / 50g carbs

4 scoops = 400 calories / 100g carbs

For packets, you can mix 1, 1.5, or 2 pouches into one bottle. Just make sure the fluid-to-carb ratio works for your gut, your sweat rate, effort and conditions.

Sometimes. One serving of Super High-Carb has the same electrolytes as a serving of Sport Drink Mix, but way more fuel. That’s great when you need lots of calories in less fluid—like cooler days or long races where solid food is tough. But hydration and fueling aren’t always synced. On hot days, you might sweat more than one bottle can replace, even if your calories are covered. That’s where an extra bottle of Sport Drink Mix or plain water + Electrolyte Booster comes in. Think of it this way: Super High-Carb = a big hammer with less fluid. Sport Drink Mix = a smaller hammer with more fluid. Both are tools. Which one (or combo) you use depends on your effort, sweat rate, and gut. You can mix them together in one bottle, but do the math to hit your carb, sodium, and fluid targets—and test it in training to keep your gut happy. Still unsure? We’re here: info@skratchlabs.co.nz.

Not if you match the calories to your needs, avoid chugging, and hydrate properly. We built this to go down smooth, with no artificial nonsense and a science-backed carb that’s easier to absorb. Start slow, practice during training, and don’t chug 400 calories all at once without sipping steadily. Your gut will thank you.
