You've got enough to think about during a long effort — your pacing, your hydration, whether your legs will hold. Your fuel shouldn't be another variable. Here's what most athletes don't realize: the ingredients list on your chews matters just as much as the carb count, and a short, clean one is almost always easier on your gut when the effort gets real.

Skratch Labs Energy Chews are the real-food alternative — built from actual fruit, stripped of everything that doesn't belong, and engineered to fuel hard efforts without the GI drama.

Real Fruit Flavor, Zero Artificial Junk Every flavor is made with actual fruit — grape juice, organic raspberry, orange juice powder, cherry — not synthetic flavors, artificial colors, or wax coatings. What goes in is what you taste, and your gut knows the difference.

Dual-Carb Formula for Faster Energy Each pack delivers glucose and fructose together — two carbohydrates that use separate absorption pathways in your gut. That means your body can take in more energy per hour without backing up the system, so you get steadier fuel and less risk of bonking.

Soft Texture That Actually Works Mid-Effort Skratch uses pectin instead of gelatin to create a semi-solid chew that's genuinely easy to eat when you're breathing hard. No jaw workout. No sticky teeth. No choking down something that feels like a gummy bear crossed with a car tire.

Skratch pairs glucose and fructose because they use separate absorption pathways in your gut — meaning your body can process more carbohydrate per hour without backing up the system. Pectin gives the chew its soft texture and helps steady the energy release. The result: 19g of carbs and 80 calories per serving, in a form your gut can actually handle at race pace.

How to Use Skratch Energy Chews

During training or racing: Start with one serving (half a pack, roughly 19g carbs) per hour for efforts lasting more than two hours. Begin fueling in the first hour before you feel depleted.

High-intensity days: Scale up to a full pack per hour if you're going long and hard. Most endurance athletes target 40–90g of carbs per hour at race effort — pair Chews with a hydration drink to hit that range without cramping.

Pro tip: Tuck a pack in your jersey pocket or running vest before every long session. In cold weather, warming the pack in your hand for a minute keeps the texture right.
