HAMMER HEED
Suggested Doses by Body Weight*:
Up to 120 pounds: 1 to 1.5 scoops/hour
120-155 pounds: 2 to 2.5 scoops/hour
155-190 pounds: 2.5 to 2.75 scoops/hour
190+ pounds: 3 scoops/hr
*These are estimated doses. Each athlete should
determine in training, under a variety of conditions,
their personal optimum.
Usage Suggestions & Notes:
HEED may be used as the sole source of calories during workouts and races up to two hours. When training
sessions or races go longer than that select either Hammer Nutrition’s PERPETUEM or SUSTAINED
ENERGY as your primary fuel source.
HEED is perfectly compatible with all Hammer Nutrition fuels so during ultra distance events, while HEED
cannot be your sole source of calories every single hour, it may be occasionally to give you a little variety in
what you’re consuming.
Each two scoops of HEED contain the equivalent amount of electrolytes as approximately 1.5 Endurolytes
capsules. For many athletes, one or two scoops of HEED will completely fulfill electrolyte requirements;
others may need to consume additional Endurolytes during training sessions and races.
HAMMER PERPETUEM
Suggested Doses by Body Weight*:
Up to 120 pounds: 1 scoop/hour
120-155 pounds: 1 - 1.5 scoops/hour
155-190 pounds: 2 scoops/hour
190+ pounds: 2.25 - 2.5 scoops/hr
*These are estimated doses. Each athlete should
determine in training, under a variety of conditions,
their personal optimum.
HAMMER PERPETUEM - MIXING OPTIONS
You can mix and consume PERPETUEM three different ways depending on individual preference and logistical concerns. Please
experiment with the following options to determine which works best for you.
1. The One-Hour Bottle: This will work best in situations such as RAAM or any number of crew-supported ultra marathon events
where you have a support crew and vehicle that can keep your mixed bottles chilled, mixing up more along the way. If you're without a
support crew but want to use this option for mixing, keep in mind that because both hydration and caloric requirements are essentially
trying to be satisfied from one source, this limits your ability to adjust your fluid intake without affecting your caloric intake and vice versa.
To use this method, simply mix the suggested amount of scoops of PERPETUEM for your bodyweight in a water bottle, small (16-21
ounces) or large (24-28 ounces). Consume one bottle hourly.
2. The Multi-Hour Bottle: This is by far the most convenient method of fueling because it allows you to be self contained for many
hours, requiring only additional plain water along the way. The only limitation is how many scoops you can fit into a bottle. Determine
your proper hourly intake in scoops by experimenting with the numbers from the chart above. Let's say you've determined through
testing that 1.5 scoops per hour is your ideal caloric intake. You need a 6-hour fuel supply. Simply mix 9 scoops (1.5 x 6) in a large bottle
with as much water as will fit in. You may need to add a few scoops with some water and shake thoroughly before adding the remainder
of the desired total number of scoops to get all of them to fit into the bottle. You then "nurse" this bottle taking small sips every 15-20
minutes. In this concentration, the water in the mixed bottle does not contribute more than a couple of ounces to your hourly fluid intake
needs. To meet your fluid requirements, you carry a second and possibly even a third bottle of plain water (or use one of the many
hydration packs/systems available). Drink from them according to the temperatures so that you are consuming a total of 16-24 ounces
of plain water per hour, depending on the severity of the heat stress. This way, as long as you can pick up more water from aid stations
or a store, you're set.
3. Perpetuem Gel or Paste: If you like a very sweet flavor, or if you want to carry the highest volume of calories in the least amount of
space, this is your best option. PERPETUEM can be made into a super-concentrated, near-paste like consistency and dispensed from
a Hammer Gel flask. This method has been successfully used quite frequently during testing of the product. Using a blender or bowl
and spoon, mix scoops of PERPETUEM with a small amount of water, gradually adding water as necessary to create the consistency
desired. Remember that the heavier, more concentrated PERPETUEM is mixed, the sweeter and stronger the flavor will become.
Therefore, it's a good idea to test various concentrations of PERPETUEM before attempting the same concentrations you may have
used with Sustained Energy. Depending on how many scoops per hour you have determined you require, and based on how
concentrated the mix is, each flask of PERPETUEM can supply you with 2-4 hours of fuel. As with the multi-hour bottle, to meet your fluid
requirements, you carry additional bottles of plain water or use a hydration pack. Drink from them according to the temperatures so that
you are consuming a total of 16-24 ounces of plain water per hour, depending on the severity of the heat stress. This way, as long as
you can pick up more water from aid stations or a store, you're set.
HAMMER SUSTAINED ENERGY
Suggested Doses by Body Weight*:
Up to 120 pounds: 1.5 scoops/hour
120-155 pounds: 1.75 - 2 scoops/hr
155-190 pounds: 2.25 - 2.5 scoops/hr
190+ pounds: 2.5 - 3scoops/hr
*These are estimated doses. Each athlete should
determine in training, under a variety of conditions,
their personal optimum.
HAMMER SUSTAINED ENERGY FEATURES:Unless you complement your carbohydrate source with protein, your body will start to digest
its own protein (muscle tissue) for energy after about 90 minutes of hard exercise. So when your training takes you beyond the range of
HAMMER GEL alone, you can rely on SUSTAINED ENERGY with its 7:1 carbohydrate : protein ratio. SUSTAINED ENERGY contains a
superior blend of complex carbohydrates, a precise amount of protein, and a few carefully selected micronutrients that all work
synergistically to provide consistent, long-lasting energy. With SUSTAINED ENERGY, you'll have 100% confidence in your fuel, even
during your longest and hardest training sessions and races. Without any added flavoring or sweeteners, it has a pleasant neutral
flavor.
HAMMER ENDUROLYTES CAPSULES
Suggested usage:
1-3 capsules 30-60 minutes prior to exercise
1-6 capsules each hour during exercise
1-3 capsules after workout
Electrolyte replacement during exercise can vary as much as tenfold between two athletes. No other area of endurance nutrition or
supplementation calls for such individualized dosing. And perhaps no other area of fueling can drop you out of the competition as
quickly as electrolyte depletion or overdose. This is a critically important area where correct dosing is a must; you simply mustn't
consider getting electrolytes out of a premixed drink. The risk of too much fluid/too few electrolytes is high, which means bad news for
your stomach, your muscles, and your performance.
You want a product that allows effective electrolyte replenishment under any weather condition, any length of exercise, and any intensity
of exercise. ENDUROLYTES, unlike any other pill, tablet, or premixed drink, is that product. Also, don't make the mistake of thinking that
electrolytes = sodium. Sodium alone cannot and will not effectively replenish electrolyte needs and may cause more problems than it
resolves. With ENDUROLYTES you're assured of getting all the right minerals in exactly the right balance.
