Is Hammer Gel the right energy gel for cyclists who prefer riding with plain water?

The Hammer Gel Box of 24 is a concentrated complex carbohydrate gel that has been the benchmark of endurance fueling since 1995, and the reason it has lasted is simple: it contains only what your body actually needs and nothing it doesn't. Hammer Nutrition uses maltodextrin as the sole carbohydrate source, a long-chain complex carb that delivers fast-acting, sustained energy without the spike and crash that comes from simple sugar-based gels. No added refined sugars, no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, no artificial sweeteners. What you get is clean, consistent energy from real ingredients including real fruit, natural flavors, and four amino acids (L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine, and L-Alanine) added to help protect muscle tissue and reduce fatigue during prolonged effort.

Hammer Gel is designed to be consumed with plain water, making it the natural choice for cyclists who carry plain water bottles rather than a sports drink. Use one serving 10 minutes before exercise and every 45 minutes during efforts lasting up to three hours. For efforts beyond three hours, Hammer Gel transitions from primary fuel to supplemental fuel alongside Perpetuem or Sustained Energy. Available in 10 flavors including two caffeinated options: Espresso (50mg) and Tropical (25mg). The three nut flavors (Peanut Butter, Peanut Butter-Chocolate, and Nocciola) contain 1g protein and 2.5 to 3.5g fat per serving, making them suitable as primary fuel for ultra-distance events. Note: Nocciola contains dairy and is not vegan. Kosher certified. Gluten-free. 5-year shelf life from manufacture date.
