Hammer Gel

The staples of any energy drink, bar, or gel are carbohydrates. In this regard, Hammer Gel stands alone in today’s glutted market of energy products. A look at the ingredient list on the label will tell you why: we use long-chain complex carbohydrates for smooth, consistent energy release. There’s only a trace of sugar, so this won't set off wild insulin spikes causing “sugar high” and “sugar crash.” You won’t find our products saturated with cheap, ineffective, commercial-grade sugars, which can ruin health and performance.

Each gel contains 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. The Hammer Gel has a syrup-like consistency that mixes easily with water if so desired. You can drink it straight, dilute it, or use it to flavor other Hammer Nutrition fuels. Use it before, during, and after exercise.

Since 1995, Hammer Gels have been the benchmark of concentrated carbohydrate energy, primarily because of what it doesn’t contain—no added refined, simple sugars, and no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners. This has made it an energy gel staple of Australia. You get only what’s good for you: complex carbohydrates, natural ingredients, and real fruit. The result is a great-tasting concentrated fuel source that goes down and digests easier than other energy gels.

The Hammer Nutrition nutritional Gel is versatile as well; you can drink it straight, add it to your water bottle, or combine it with Sustained Energy, HEED, or Perpetuem to create a variety of tasty energy combinations for any length activity—anywhere, anytime.

Hammer Gel Caffeine

While Tropical flavour contains 25mg, Hammer Gel Espresso contains 50mg of caffeine in each serve. Though caffeine is an energy-promoting stimulant, it is also a diuretic and can therefore contribute towards dehydration. Be sure to factor this in when training in the heat or participating in long-duration exercises. Hammer Gel Vanilla, Raspberry and Apple-Cinnamon are all caffeine-free.

Mixing / Usage Instructions for Hammer Gels

Consume 0.5-2.5 servings per hour (see chart above), along with 475-830 ml of plain water per hour from a separate source. Hammer Gel may be used as the sole source of calories during workouts and races up to two hours, perhaps up to three hours under certain circumstances. When training sessions or races go much longer than that, select either Perpetuem or Heed as your primary fuel source. Use as a primary source of calories during exercise and competition lasting up to two hours.

The Hammer Energy Gel is perfectly compatible with all other Hammer Nutrition fuels. During ultra distance events, while this Gel cannot be your sole source of calories every single hour, it may be used occasionally to give you a little variety in what you’re consuming.
