Hammer Nutrition HEED (32 Servings)

Heed helps me control cramps on my 3 hour-50 mile warm-weather rides. Powder settling requires continual shaking.

I use HEED as a on-the-bike hydration supplement. Over the past 30 years or so I have occasionally tried other products, the new stuff on offer. But I always return to HEED. I've tried all the flavors but the lemon-lime or Mandarin orange are the two I favor.

My wife thinks this stuff is the most amazing thing since a steak dinner, while out on the bike or trail.

Used the whole jar because I'm cheap and won't waste it but Hammer HEED is inferior as electrolyte replacement to Skratch or Osmo - not enough sodium or potassium. Then there is the maltodextrin, which is a cheap artificially-created energy source (usually processed from GMO corn) that has a couple serious downsides a high glycemic index that makes blood sugar regulation harder and a lot of people have a negative GI reaction to it which involves gas, bloating and diarrhea. That reaction, and the low electrolyte levels, are why I no longer use it.

I use this with hammer perpetuem for long rides, and by itself for shorter rides. I'm generally not good at eating at regular intervals and this helps me to keep from bonking.

It tastes okay. Not bad, but not great. After a while I do want some plain water.

Hammer Nutrition Heed is a great hydration-energy mix for cycling or any workout. Ive tried several and this is the best energy mix by far. Biketiresdirect.com made the ordering process simple and delivered on time. Will definitely order again.

Fill one of your water bottles with Hammer for something extra on your ride!

Great product and works well for me including in the heat. Outstanding flavor

Great to help sustain effort on longer rides

I use it for endurance cycling. 75 miles. 5 days earlier week

First time trying it and flavor is just OK. Good in the electrolyte department.

Great for endurance ridding. I take 30%-50% more than recommended when mixed with water for my double and triple century rides.

Use it in my long walks and bike training

OUT OF 6 PEOPLE NO ONE COULD DRINK IT HAD TO TRROW OUT

Tastes good & goes down easy. Not too thick and bottles clean up easily. I use at least one bottle on every ride to extend my energy level. I will buy again.

Preparing for a 200 mile race, I bought Heed to get used to it since that's all they served on the race. I found it to be bland compared to other mixes I was using. I ended up drinking less of it on my rides due to the taste...I'm sticking with my other mixes.

Pro Keeps your electrolytes balanced, tastes good. Mixes well

Cons On long rides I get tired of the sweet stuff.

I use this product on midrange rides. On longer rides I use Perpetuem.

I use this ride on all of my road rides, which vary in distance from 20-100 miles. I do not notice any typical fatigue issues when I use it. I really like that it is colorless when mixed which makes keeping bottles clean less of a chore following a long ride. I would recommend it.

I like this product mixed 2/3 heed 1/3 Perpetuem. The electrolyte plus protein is especially good on long rides!
