Review by holdfirmlyReviewed 8/13/2012by holdfirmlyCycling EnthusiastNew Hampshire2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Tastes good and works really wellI'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!

Review by PortlandJayReviewed 1/30/2012by PortlandJayCompetitive RacerSacramento, CA1 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Finally an energy drink that works and is easy on the stomach.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.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 10/26/2022by AnonymousOregonBeen using for ~15 yearsOne of my go-to fuels. Moderately sweet, to my tastes at least. Because of this, on longer rides, I often mix it with a Scratch product, which are not as sweet, and it works great for me.

Review by LawrenceReviewed 6/15/2017by LawrencePORTLAND0 of 5 customers found this review helpful.Sure didn't like the melon flavor I've been a huge fan of Hammer products, Hammer gel, Recovrerite, and the Enduralytes Fizz. Maybe it was just this melon flavor, but I found myself not wanting to drink the HEED. Instead, I wanted to gag.
In my opinion, Hammer really messed up here.
I will continue to use the Hammer gel in Raspberry and espresso, but I will stay away from HEED.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 2/4/2022by AnonymousCasual CyclistCaliforniaGreat tasting and provides the energy I need. I've used this on short rides and my first 100 mile ride in October. It's easy to mix, easy on my stomach and has the right amount of carbs.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 6/16/2014by AnonymousSan Jose, CA1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Light and Easy on Your StomachI tried several brands (EFS, Ironman, Cytomax) but I'll be sticking with Heed. I do mostly longer rides so consequently I end up going through at least 58 oz. of this stuff when temperature is moderate. Other drinks taste overpowering and syrupy but Heed is light and unobtrusive so I can drink more of it. I also only use 1 to 1.5 scoops per 24 oz of water. It seems to hydrate me well on long rides. I have not tried all the flavors but I like the strawberry so far.
