Comments about Hammer Nutrition Perpetuem Drink Mix - 16 Serving:

Hammer has no Fructose, so far the best stuff I've found to drink on long rides. Doesn't feel heavy, in fact it's hard to conserve it, I just want to drink it all down!.

The Dreamsicle flavor is subtle and I like it. There's also an unflavored version.

I been using Hammer products for 15 yrs & glad to see REI start selling some of them. You can't go wrong as they are all fine quality products.
Also I would like to see REI have Sustained Energy,the sports drink between Heed & Perpetuem that works well.ONE more thing, you can mix & match them.EX:hammer gel with Perpetuem

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Perpetuem Drink Mix - 16 Serving:

This is the ultimate fuel for anything over 4 hours. It burns slow and clean with amazingly consistent energy output. I like to mix up a 4 - 8 hour bottle and supplement fluids from a hydration bladder or another bottle and lytes in capsule form. As long as I stay hydrated and avoid an overly concentrated mix, stomach issues have been nil. I have been using Perpetuem for about 7 years and love it!

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Perpetuem Drink Mix - 16 Serving:

I do a lot of century rides and this is my drink of choice for those and long training rides of about three hours. I used the orange vanilla flavor but had to add a sweetener. They now offer strawberry vanilla (new for 2011) and I've tried that without a sweetener and it's pretty good. Per the people at Hammer, 2 scoops per 24 oz is the ideal isotonic mix for quick absorption.

Best Uses

Marathon training

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Perpetuem Drink Mix - 16 Serving:

I love the even, steady energy I get when I use Hammer Perpetuem. I am training to walk a marathon, so my workouts are long... I have felt really balanced since I started using Perpetuem on my walks. I am not getting energy lows and spikes; don't ever feel hungry; no bloating or digestive rumblings. It has also lessened side effects like puffy fingers.

Personally, I really like the Cafe Latte flavor. I find it helpful to mix it up well in advance in a large pitcher. It needs a lot of stirring otherwise it will have chewy lumps! Once it is mixed it does not fall out of solution, but does not keep for more than a couple days.

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Perpetuem Drink Mix - 16 Serving:

I use Perpetuem during workouts and after.

I enjoy the mild taste of coffee. Flavor is unique but a bit difficult to get the right mix.

Although I like the taste, I have a difficult time getting the right mix, both taste and consistency. In order to help get the right consistency I started mixing it first with 100ml of hot water, then add another equal amount of room temperature.

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Perpetuem Drink Mix - 16 Serving:

Great portable nutrition for long rides/runs. Easier to get down than bars and includes protein as an energy source. Easy to customize the concentration to meet the specific needs of your workout/ride.
I've heard complaints about taste but I like the creamsicle flavor. It will start to sour if exposed to heat for a while and can become unpalatable, but that's expected from a substance with no preservatives.

I have used this product for long adventure races 18+ hours. It tastes ok at first (the first couple ounces, or about 5 mouthfuls). Then the fun really begins. It gets flat out hard to swallow hold your nose hard.

I had 2 big containers left and in the trash they went

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Perpetuem Drink Mix - 16 Serving:

I've been using Hammer products for about a year. Perpetuem has worked great for long rides. I generally use Heed for the first 2 hours for each hour after, one serving of Perpetuem and one gel. The combination has worked great. No bonk, not bloated, lots of slow stable energy.
