Skratch Energy Chews is an energy supplement ideal when you're going hard and the best thing to keep you going is a steady source of carbohydrate. It offers a steady form of energy, as opposed to the six coffee cups that you take on Monday mornings to get you through the day. The soft on the stomach and gut chew keeps you from getting sick from really sweet and gooey gels and from looking for bathrooms in the middle of your ride. Plus, their taste is awesome! Not like chemically awesome, more like naturally, without carnauba wax, coloring agents and "natural' mystery flavors, awesome. They use real fruit and light dusting of granulates sugar and sour powder, which prevents them from sticking together. As a starting point, eat one package of Energy Chews (containing 160 Calories and 40 grams of carbohydrate) each hour for activities lasting longer than 2 hours, beginning the first hour. If you’re going super hard and super long, you may even try up to 2 packages per hour.
