I've been riding long miles in serious heat and even used this for the Pike's Peak race with Hammer Gel as my sole source of hydration and nutrition. It works better than anything else I've used. It also tastes great!

I've tried them all, and HEED is by far the best energy drink of all. It has a variety of flavors to choose from, is easy on the stomach and just plain works. Their use of all natural ingredients and no food coloring make it a top choice of many athletes. Sure, it's a bit more expensive than others - but it works for me and I don't mind paying the extra price. The amount of information and research on the Hammer Nutrition website is amazing. Since HEED has complex carbs and electrolytes it can be used in place of energy gels on shorter rides.

One of my go-to fuels. Moderately sweet, to my tastes at least. Because of this, on longer rides, I often mix it with a Scratch product, which are not as sweet, and it works great for me.

I've been a huge fan of Hammer products, Hammer gel, Recovrerite, and the Enduralytes Fizz. Maybe it was just this melon flavor, but I found myself not wanting to drink the HEED. Instead, I wanted to gag.
In my opinion, Hammer really messed up here.
I will continue to use the Hammer gel in Raspberry and espresso, but I will stay away from HEED.

Use the product for road biking to keep electrolyte levels from dropping. Works great.

I tried several brands (EFS, Ironman, Cytomax) but I'll be sticking with Heed. I do mostly longer rides so consequently I end up going through at least 58 oz. of this stuff when temperature is moderate. Other drinks taste overpowering and syrupy but Heed is light and unobtrusive so I can drink more of it. I also only use 1 to 1.5 scoops per 24 oz of water. It seems to hydrate me well on long rides. I have not tried all the flavors but I like the strawberry so far.

Good flavor and easy to drink even when not cold. Hammer customer service is very responsive and very helpful. Will definitely buy again.

Love this product! Hammer Nutrition Heed has saved me time and again on long bike rides. Heed is a terrific remedy for leg cramps and dehydration.

I've used this on short rides and my first 100 mile ride in October. It's easy to mix, easy on my stomach and has the right amount of carbs.

I use it for longer rides and seems to help replace electrolytes. It's not too sweet and tastes pretty good.

Referred by guys who do monster rides, I've been using HEED ever since. Seems a great formula.
