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

One 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.

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.

Good flavor and easy to drink even when not cold. Hammer customer service is very responsive and very helpful. Will definitely buy again.

I use this for recovery. It has less sugar than many other products and tastes great.

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'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.

We don't cycle without this in our water!

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.

I use Heed after a long run to speed up my recovery. Great product.

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.

I recently used this on a Century ride and it tasted great and kept me going.

Use the product for road biking to keep electrolyte levels from dropping. Works great.

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

I have been using Heed for years as a pre, during and after training and racing mix.

I 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.

I use it for longer rides and seems to help replace electrolytes. It's not too sweet and tastes pretty good.

Love this product! Hammer Nutrition Heed has saved me time and again on long bike rides. Heed is a terrific remedy for leg cramps and dehydration.

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