Skratch Labs Sport Energy Chews Raspberry

Sport Energy Chews can mainly be described as a candy made from sugar and pectin. Or even a version of chilled fruit pie filling that you forgot to put in a pie. The caveat, however, is that Skratch Labs Sport Energy Chews are made for when you exercise, not just for when you are craving pie filling, which for us is most of the time.

We created these chews as an energy supplement for when you exert yourself and the best thing to keep you going is a steady source of carbohydrates that do not destroy your stomach or intestines. And hopefully you understand that when we say energy we mean fuel or calories. You know, like the first law of thermodynamics where energy is neither created nor destroyed. Not like the kind of "energy" you get after rinsing down a handful of caffeine pills with your sixth cup of coffee.

But let's go back to the chews. The unique thing about a chew is that they have a physical form factor that allows them to be charged and held up in the stomach. When melted, they provide rapid energy. They are a good option if you have ever become ill from really sweet and slimy gels, because slimy things tend to be emptied from the stomach faster than the intestine can absorb. And when that happens, there is nowhere to go for those slippery things except where the light does not shine. So with energy chewing, you get what seems to be a paradox - fast energy that does not rot your gut. It's similar to how gravity bends both space and time, but it's more than you need to know.

So what sets Skratch Labs energy chews apart from everyone else? Well, first the taste. Second is that Skratch Labs has sifted away all the superfluous ingredients that you do not need such as carnauba wax, dyes and mysterious flavors that may be called natural. Instead, they use real fruit and a light powdered powdered sugar and sour powder for function and taste.

The cherry flavor adds 50 mg of caffeine per pack of green tea for a little extra boost and focus.

Things to remember:

    The use of two types of carbohydrates (glucose and fructose) accelerates the absorption of energy in your body.

    No preservatives, dyes or waxes.

    Gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan.
