consistent energy
* Buffer lactic acid
* Help prevent cramps
Sports
drinks have been around a long time and for many athletes they're
more convenient than energy gels. Unfortunately, most sports drinks
are not much more than artificially colored sugar water that does
little to aid your performance and even less for your health. That
is why we developed HEED as a healthy alternative for you. HEED’s
subtle tasting, all-complex carbohydrate formula goes down easily
and supplies you with consistent, long-lasting energy and the electrolytes
you need to keep pushing the pace. Because we add no citric acid to
the formula, it will not burn your throat or stomach no matter how
long you drink it. HEED's sweeteners - stevia and xylitol - are actually
good for you, xylitol being especially beneficial for helping promote
oral health. The full-spectrum, all chelated mineral, electrolyte
profile helps satisfy your body’s mineral requirements. L-Carnosine
and Chromium Polynicotinate help to buffer lactic acid and support
stable blood glucose levels. If you prefer sport drinks over energy
gels or like to use the two together, try HEED… and find out
what a sports drink done right can do for your athletic performance.
Hammer
HEED is a definite "step up" and welcome departure from
the seemingly endless number of powdered sports drinks available to
endurance athletes, giving you all the convenience of a powdered drink
mix along with many added benefits not found in the vast majority
of sports drinks. One of the primary flaws inherent with most sports
drinks is their reliance on simple sugar as the carbohydrate source.
The use of simple sugar such as glucose, sucrose, and fructose not
only severely limits the amount of calories that can be efficiently
digested and utilized for energy, it may cause wild fluctuations in
energy levels. HEED's all-complex carbohydrate formula, on the other
hand, allows you to obtain the ideal amount of calories you need,
providing a more consistent and longer lasting energy supply, and
without putting you at risk for stomach distress.
HEED
also provides a complete and easily assimilated electrolyte profile,
not just salt and potassium, which comprise the electrolyte "profile"
of most other drinks. For some athletes, one or two scoops of HEED
will completely fulfill electrolyte requirements (in addition to caloric
requirements). For other athletes, the electrolyte profile in HEED
will provide an excellent base from which additional Endurolytes can
be added to completely satisfy electrolyte needs. With added chromium
polynicotinate for maintaining stable blood glucose levels and l-carnosine
for buffering lactic acid, HEED is truly in a class of its on in the
world of powdered sports drinks.
So whenever
and wherever a sports drink is your preferred choice, heed your body's
desire for a superior fuel. HEED is the only choice you need to make.
Application:
HEED
may be used as the sole fuel during exercise lasting up to two hours,
fulfilling all your calorie and fluid requirements, and most-to-all
of your electrolyte needs.HEED may also be used as a partial source
of calories and electrolytes when exercising for periods in excess
of two hours.
Mixing / Usage Instructions:
Mix 1-3
scoops (see chart below) of HEED in 16-24 ounces of water. Sip continuously
during exercise.
Suggested Doses by Body Weight*:
* Up
to 120 pounds: up to 1.5 scoops/hour
* 120-155 pounds: up to 2.5 scoops/hour
* 155-190 pounds: up to 2.75 scoops/hour
* 190+ pounds: up to 3 scoops/hour
*These
are estimated doses. Each athlete should determine in training, under
a variety of conditions, their personal optimum.
Usage
Suggestions:
HEED
may be used as the sole fuel during exercise lasting up to two hours,
fulfilling all your calorie and fluid requirements, and most-to-all
of your electrolyte needs. HEED may also be used as a partial source
of calories and electrolytes when exercising for periods in excess
of two hours.
Notes:
When
training sessions or races go much longer than two hours, select either
Perpetuem or Sustained Energy as your primary fuel source. In these
instances, HEED can still be used intermittently for variety as long
as your total hourly caloric intake does not exceed your training
determined maximum.
Each
scoop of HEED contains the equivalent amount of electrolytes as approximately
2/3 of an Endurolytes capsule. For many athletes, under normal conditions,
one or two scoops of HEED will completely fulfill electrolyte requirements.
When heat stress increases significantly, you will need to consume
additional Endurolytes.
