Hammer Heed Sports Drink Powder

FEATURES

• Sustained energy, no sugar crash.
• Reduces cramping.
• Buffers lactic acid.

BENEFITS

All other ‘sports drinks’ are the same — lots of sugar, salt, and citric acid. Not HEED! The non-acidic, subtly flavored alternative, full of complex carbohydrates, with a complete electrolyte profile, and essential nutrients that balance blood sugar, buffer lactic acid, and ensure long-lasting energy.
Contains xylitol. Do not give to your dog.

HEED Classic - The fan-favorite original corn-based formula introduced in 2004.

HEED 2.0 - Updated with tapioca maltodextrin derived from cassava, a superior energy source, and is Paleo-friendly. 

HOW TO USE

Mix 1 – 1.5 scoops per 12-20 ounces (355 – 591 ml) of water, depending on temperatures. Sip continuously during exercise.

PRO TIP

In warmer weather or during prolonged activity, add a form of Endurolytes® to your HEED.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Xylitol is toxic to dogs and unsafe for canine consumption. Do not feed your dog any products containing xylitol, including HEED or Recoverite, or any product that is made for human consumption. Learn More.

INGREDIENTS

• 2.0 = TAPIOCA Maltodextrin – Less processed, non-GMO, lower monosaccharide and disaccharide content/much higher polysaccharide content (thanks to its lower Dextrose Equivalent), lower sodium content, and even closer to the desired pH neutral.
• Classic = Corn Maltodextrin – A high glycemic index (GI) complex carbohydrate, ideal for providing quick-acting, long-lasting energy during exercise and for replenishing the body’s energy (glycogen) stores after exercise.
• Xylitol – This natural sweetener is found in a variety of fibrous fruits and vegetables. It promotes oral health, as it does not ferment or support acid-producing bacteria that cause tooth decay. NOTE: Xylitol is believed to be unsafe for canine consumption; therefore, we do not recommend feeding your dog any products containing xylitol, including HEED or Recoverite.
• Full-spectrum Electrolyte Profile – The complete profile of sodium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, and potassium helps to maintain the performance of many important bodily functions during exercise, in addition to helping protect against muscle cramping.
• L-Carnosine – One of the most versatile and beneficial nutrients available. It buffers lactic acid during exercise and provides antioxidant support.
• Glycine – This amino acid is beneficial for aiding in muscle tissue repair, protecting collagen in joints, and reducing joint pain. In addition, glycine has a naturally sweet taste, which contributes to the delicious flavor of HEED.
• L-Tyrosine – Aids in the functioning of the adrenal, pituitary, and thyroid glands, which are responsible for producing and regulating numerous key hormones. This helps to increase performance levels and reduce recovery time.
• Manganese – This trace mineral is necessary for optimal enzymatic reactions in muscle cells and for the conversion of fatty acids and protein into energy.
• Chromate® brand Chromium Polynicotinate – This trace mineral helps to regulate blood sugar and plays a vital role in the synthesis of glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids.
