Hammer Energy Gel

Hammer Energy Gel is an easily digestible concentrated source of complex carbohydrates. This energy gel contains four essential amino acids to improve performance and prolong energy levels during intensive training and competitions such as cycling or running. Hammer Energy Gel can be used before, during and after exercise.

The carbohydrate maltodextrin gives you stable and reliable energy and avoids the dreaded sugar dip. Maltodextrin provides smooth, consistent energy release for endurance sports such as cycling or running.

Hammer Energy Gel is specially designed if you don't have much space to take sports nutrition with you, such as during marathons, trail running and cycling.

Use it as a primary source of calories during exercise and competition lasting up to two hours.

• Easy to carry, rock solid energy to keep you performing in the most demanding competitions
• Rapidly raises blood sugar levels without a subsequent sugar crash
• ​Easily digestible gel formula - light but strong

The complex carbohydrate maltodextrin in Hammer Energy Gel ensures smooth, consistent energy release. No sugar ups and downs - just constant energy from start to finish.

The small packaging is easy to carry.

Use as primary source of calories during exercise and competition lasting up to two hours. Consume one serving 5 - 15 minutes before exercise. For more information about consuming servings per hour during exercise, we recommend that you view the table below.

Important! Remember to drink 475 - 825 ml of fluid per hour to support good hydration. Energy Gel alone as hydration is not enough.

Our energy gel for running or cycling has a syrup-like consistency that can be easily mixed with water if desired. You can drink it straight, dilute it, use it to flavor other Hammer Food sources, or simply to flavor the water in your water bottle.

Hammer Energy Gel can be mixed with different flavors. Try these combinations:

• Bananas + Chocolate or Espresso = Banana Split
• Orange + Vanilla = Orange Creamsicle
• Raspberry + Orange + Banana = Fruit Punch
• Raspberry + Espresso = Raspberry Mocha
• Mix Vanilla with another flavor to make it milder for long-term use.

Consuming more calories than you need can cause nausea and stomach pain

Keep our motto in mind: Less is Best!

If you weigh between 55-70 kg, you can take 1 - 2 gels per hour. If you are going to exercise for 2 hours, this means that you need 2-4 energy gels.

*These are estimated doses. Each athlete must determine his personal optimum during training, under different circumstances.

You may want to mix different fuels. When you do, make sure you're getting the right amount of calories. Suppose you weigh between 55-70 kg. That means you need about 100-150 kcal per hour.

For example, if you want to mix Energy Gel with HEED, you can get 80 calories from the Energy Gel and 40 from HEED. You're still getting the right amount of calories you need, about 100-150 kcal, but you're using different fuels.

If you mix, don't go beyond your recommended amount of calories per hour.

1 serving is approximately 90 calories

Only espresso and tropical flavored caffeine gels contain caffeine, 50 mg for espresso and 25 mg for tropical per serving. All flavors are vegan and kosher except Nocciola. Nocciola is Kosher Dairy certified.

INGREDIENT BREAKDOWN:

Maltodextrin – A complex carbohydrate with a high glycemic index (GI), ideal for providing fast-acting, long-lasting energy during exercise and for replenishing the body's glycogen stores after exercise.

Energy Smart® (grape juice, rice dextrin) – This all-natural, low-sugar sweetener plays an important role in the delicious taste of Hammer Gel and contributes minimally to the total carbohydrate content. Energy Smart® is certified non-GMO, gluten-free and allergen-free.​

Citric Acid - Used in minimal amounts to meet FDA acidity requirements. Hammer Gel contains less citric acid than comparable products.

Salt – Minimally added for preservation, flavor and digestive support. It is not a source of electrolytes (see Endurolytes® product line).

L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine – The branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) protect against muscle tissue breakdown and also help relieve fatigue.

L-Alanine – This amino acid is used to meet energy needs, especially when the body's carbohydrate stores are low.

Potassium Chloride – Source of potassium and sodium.

Cultured Dextrose (used in pouches and some bottles) - FDA-approved, all-natural preservative.

Potassium sorbate (used in some bottles) - FDA-approved preservative.
