Hammer NutritionHEED (32 Servings)(Return to Product Page)

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

Great to help sustain effort on longer rides

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!

I've been riding long miles in serious heat and even used this for the Pike's Peak race with Hammer Gel as my sole source of hydration and nutrition. It works better than anything else I've used. It also tastes great!

I've tried them all, and HEED is by far the best energy drink of all. It has a variety of flavors to choose from, is easy on the stomach and just plain works. Their use of all natural ingredients and no food coloring make it a top choice of many athletes. Sure, it's a bit more expensive than others - but it works for me and I don't mind paying the extra price. The amount of information and research on the Hammer Nutrition website is amazing. Since HEED has complex carbs and electrolytes it can be used in place of energy gels on shorter rides.

I use this as my go to drink on endurance cycling rides. It has plenty of carbs to keep the energy up!
