from Erie, PA Date Reviewed: January 21, 2008 Strengths: I've been using a spectrum of Hammer products for the last couple of months of base training. The main result I've noticed is a reduction in cramping. Heed has a very mild and somewhat creamy taste which takes some getting used to. Its not foul tasting, just don't expect Gatorade or Endurox. Weaknesses: It tastes like the dogs butt the first time you try it. By a blessing of nature, the human mind can get used to anything over time... Now I've grown quite fond of it. Actually, its got a mild taste unlike Gatorade or Endurox which may be a good thing during really long events.

from San Jose Date Reviewed: February 21, 2005 Strengths: Convenient all in one mix for short (sub 2 hr) efforts. Good taste, not too strong, even when mixed at the high concentration end of the suggested range. This one will definitely go down well in the hot conditions unlike a lot of the overly sweet drinks out there. Can combine with other Hammer products for longer efforts. Weaknesses: If I have to come up with one: I guess if you are a last minute shopper this one is not in a lot of stores yet so you gotta stock up online if your LBS isn't carrying it. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Similar Products Used: Cytomax, Gatorade, PowerBar products, Accelerade
