Comments about Hammer Nutrition HEED Sport Drink Mix - 32 Serving:

Before using Heed I would drink Gatorade, but while resting it didn't taste too sweet, during a ride I found it difficult to drink. The opposite was true of HEED. While you wouldn't want to drink it before a ride it is just right during. It keeps my energy up at an acceptable level over the course of an up to 5 hour ride, but it's effects start to fade after that duration.

Comments about Hammer Nutrition HEED Sport Drink Mix - 32 Serving:

Unlike other electrolite sports drinks, Heed is not overly sweet. Personally if my bottle is full of other un-named, sweet tasting, sports drinks I will get sick to my stomach on an intence, long or hot rides. Heed gives you everything you need for rides under 30-40miles without being too sweet.

Used many hydration drinks before, found this one to be the better tasting and fastest to dissolve. I use it for my long runs, when I train in Muay Thai and/or Krav Maga, and whenever I feel dehydrated.

Comments about Hammer Nutrition HEED Sport Drink Mix - 32 Serving:

After using almost every type of sport drink, I decided to try Heed. I use it during my workout of 2 or more hours. The taste is one of the most pleasant I've tried (orange & strawberry) of all the sports drinks. I mix it a little more diluted that the directions - but have tried it diluted and full strength and both taste well. Heed doesn't seem to give me that bloated feeling of ingesting too much of a sport drink. I also like the fact that the ingredients aren't artifical colors, flavors or added simple sugars. Its difficult at times to know if it is doing what its supposed to, but in my longer workouts I don't feel the "bonk" like I used to feel.

Heed

Sits Heavy

Best Uses

During Ride

Comments about Hammer Nutrition HEED Sport Drink Mix - 32 Serving:

I found this product works best when the drink is still cool. After hours of sloshing around in the bottle and getting heated by the sun, it can almost be too heavy to drink. I wouldn't say that it is necessarily any heavier than Gatorade or Cytomax, but since this product isn't supposed to be as sweet as those two, it feels like a thicker mix.
To me, loading one bottle with Heed and one with water to go back and forth between the two worked best and kept me going.
Overall a great product. I didn't experience any bonking and cramping over 96 miles and my stomach felt fine.

Comments about Hammer Nutrition HEED Sport Drink Mix - 32 Serving:

I've been using Hammer's Heed for the past 4 years. I've tried all the other brands that I could get my hands on and when I found Heed that was it. I have a sensitive stomach and it's never bothered me. It goes down easy, excellent electrolyte replenishment, and no simple sugars = no sugar crashes. It's also easily mixable with other powder products if need be. I also use Hammer's Perpetuem or Sustained Energy and they coincide with Heed just fine. Heed's the best electrolyte replenishment, or sport drink, you can get.

During Ride

Comments about Hammer Nutrition HEED Sport Drink Mix - 32 Serving:

I would give it 5 stars, but I noticed it's hard to mix when I put it in the bottle with ice in it already. I can see strand-looking unmixed powder. I found it's easier to mix first into a cup (or even the bottle with little water), then add ice and more water so it's fully diluted.

The flavor is a little light for my preference. I prefer heavier taste. But compared to my Cytomax energy and recovery, this doesn't seem to fill me up. I mean, I feel full sometimes on the Cytomax that I don't want to drink anymore (not good!).

Comments about Hammer Nutrition HEED Sport Drink Mix - 32 Serving:

I like the product and find its only fault to be that the included scoop will hold 40 grams of the powder and the label would have you use 1 or 2 heaping scoops per water bottle which would yield less than half of the 32 servings which are to be in the canister. There simply are not 32 scoops of powder in the Heed canister no matter how you look at it.
