Hammer Heed Strawberry 1 serving, 29g

The Heed Energy Drink by Hammer Nutrition is the “next step” among the countless sports drinks now available on the market! One of the main drawbacks of most energy products is that they use simple processed sugars as their primary carbohydrate source.

The use of simple carbohydrates such as glucose, sucrose & fructose dramatically reduces the amount of energy that can be consumed during exercise. It may also cause fluctuations in energy levels during athletic activity! Heed’s complex carbohydrate formula helps maintain stable energy levels throughout exercise.

It includes electrolytes in a complete profile, rather than just salt and potassium, in an easily absorbed and easily digested form. For most athletes, under normal weather conditions, one to two servings of Heed are sufficient to meet electrolyte needs and, naturally, energy needs.

Heed also includes:

• chromium polynicotinate, which regulates insulin function and maintains stable blood glucose levels.
• l-carnosine to accelerate the removal of lactic acid.
• Another key ingredient is L-tyrosine. Symptoms of L-tyrosine depletion initially appear as depression, later anger, followed by malaise that develops into complete despair. If any of these has ever happened to you during a demanding training session or race, supplementation can help significantly!

An important advantage of Heed is that it does not contain citric acid, an ingredient found in many energy products, so you will not experience a “burning” sensation in the oesophagus or stomach even after many hours of use. This addresses a problem experienced by ultra-distance athletes. HEED’s sweeteners, stevia and xylitol, do not add simple sugars to the drink. Xylitol contributes to oral hygiene, which is also an important issue in ultra-distance events. Heed’s high manufacturing quality and 100% natural ingredients make it suitable for diabetics, children and vegetarians.

The HEED® does not contain:

Artificial flavours, colours, sweeteners, wheat, gluten, dairy traces, added simple sugars, stimulants or anything unhealthy. If an “energy drink” contains any of the above ingredients, it may cause unwanted side effects that can genuinely hinder your performance.
