Clean, consistent, long-burning energy. HAMMER GEL use long-chain complex carbohydrates for a smooth, consistent energy release. There's only a trace of sugar, so it doesn't set off wild insulin spikes causing a "sugar high" and "sugar crash." HAMMER GEL is an easily digested, concentrated source of complex carbohydrates with four amino acids added to enhance performance and prolong energy levels during intense training and competition. Use it before, during, and after exercise. Only Espresso flavor contains caffeine, 50 mg per serving.

| On the last leg of a hard training ride a shot of Hammer Gel keeps me strong to the finish. |

| Used this in a hammer flask for a 3 hour race and loved it. It is much easier than having to open a new pouch every time you need one. I would absolutely recommend it, especially if you are racing for 2.5 hours or more. |
Best energy gel available

If you have never used this type of product, it is to fuel longer workouts, where your body is too busy running/biking/canoeing/whatevering to use a lot of resources on digestion. You need something easy to transport, easy to consume and easy to digest. Hammer Gel does this better than any other gel I have tried and it tastes better than the others, too. I have used it for everything from bike rides of an hour or two, to one of my fuels for adventure races up to 72 hours.
Hammer Gel is primarily maltodextrin, a complex carb that breaks down easily. That makes it very easy to digest, even when you are on the move. It is very low in simple sugars. A touch of electrolytes. Multiple flavors. I personally think that apple cinnamon is great. (As a teammate exclaimed when I introduced her to it: "Oh my gosh! That tastes like pie!") The tropical and espresso flavors have caffeine.
Hammer Nutrition makes healthy, effective products and they support them all the way. |
Works but the orange flavor tastes bad

| Reviewer: R. Reyes, |
| I started using this product in its pure form in 5oz hammer gel re-usable flasks, grimacing the stuff down while quickly chasing it with water. I found cutting the gel with 1:1 ratio of water to gel helped getting past the non-pleasant flavor. The problem with the orange flavor is that it tastes more like thick simple syrup, with very little if any "orange" in it. This tends to overpower your taste buds. The taste aside, the product works wonders. I noticed the difference using the gel made immediately. I was able to ride farther without much muscle pain or energy drain using the gel than what I had experienced with a couple of energy bars eaten while riding. I would skip orange altogether and try something more palatable, like raspberry. |
