Description
Hammer Gel might look like similar products on the market, but it's what's inside that counts! Other energy gels are made with simple sugars, citric acid, and usually artificial flavors and colors. The results are predictable: energy peaks and valleys, and trips to the porta potty.
Hammer Gel's complex carbohydrates, all-natural ingredients, and pH-balancing formula provides quick yet sustained energy in a convenient, tasty, concentrated form. The addition of branched-chain amino acids helps to prevent muscle tissue breakdown while reducing fatigue. The result is a highly effective, concentrated fuel source that digests easier than any other energy gel. It might look similar to others, but the ingredients—and benefits— are completely distinct. Hammer Gel is real endurance fuel—not sugar!
Note:Hammer Flask holds 5-6 servings. Only Espresso and Tropical flavors contain caffeine, 50 mg for Espresso and 25 mg for Tropical per serving.
Ingredients breakdown:
- Maltodextrin: A high-glycemic index (GI) complex carbohydrate, 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 Hammer Gel's delicious flavor while contributing minimally to the overall carbohydrate content. Energy Smart® is certified non-GMO, gluten-free, and allergen-free.
- Citric Acid: Used in minimum amounts to meet FDA requirements for acidity levels. 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 (BCAA's) protect against muscle tissue breakdown, while also helping alleviate fatigue.
- L-Alanine: This amino acid is used to help meet energy demands, particularly when the body's carbohydrates stores are running low.
- Potassium Chloride: Source of potassium and sodium.
- Cultured Dextrose: An FDA-approved, all-natural preservative.

at 58 and 5000 miles a year for years you would think i would have tried gels by now... well actually this is the first time I have purchased any and I got both espresso and apple cinnamon Hammer Gels. both actually taste pretty good. More importantly, they actually work. i don't feel the buzz-and-crash of a sugary drink or snack food. I cant believe I haven't tried these before now.

Hammergel tastes great and is not filled with sugar and caffeine. I have tried the Chocolate, Vanilla, Raspberry and Apple Cinnamon. It is perfect fuel for cycling.

Hammer Gel has been great for years.

I have used these for years. My better half uses them when she runs too. We both tried the newer thinner gels that are getting popular right now and both came to the same conclusion. The others work okay but you crash hard with them so you better be ready to keep pumping them in once you start. The Hammer Gel's have no sugar so we don't seam to crash after taking one. It will just get used up and you can take another or just ride on in tired. When the other thin ones we tried gets used up you better take another one or it isn't going to be fun getting home. If I am 8-10 miles from home I hate to burn a Gel just to get home on a solo ride, with Hammer I don't have to.

ALL-TIMER!
I have used the Hammer Gel for many years. From an extra boost in the weight room, to 5 and 10ks, hunting and backpacking, it is a staple. I highly recommend it and plan to continue its usage until my motor stops.

Go to mid-ride fuel works.
Used this product for years. Hammer Nutrition works. Use it during a ride or a long run, while competing or training. You will not be disappointed. Buying a 24 pack of one flavor is a commitment. But if you know what flavor you like, no worries.

Tastes good and seems to work
I try to find gels at $1 each or less. Unfortunately sometimes they are on sale for a reason. These were nearly that price and are very good - if you like chocolate. I'll buy again if the price is right.

Hammer Gel is a real energy boost!
I haven't used Hammer Gel for quite awhile. Ran out and started eating energy bars. After getting back to regular frequent cycling, I found my energy lagging . I discovered an Energy Gel in my bento box! It really gave me a much needed energy boost. I decided to order more, since that was my last one.
