Is the Hammer Gel single-serving pouch the right way to try it or fuel a specific ride?

The Hammer Gel Single Serving gives you one pouch of the same clean, complex carbohydrate fuel that endurance athletes have relied on since 1995: no added refined sugars, no artificial colors, no artificial flavors, no artificial sweeteners. Hammer Nutrition uses maltodextrin as the carbohydrate source, delivering fast-acting and sustained energy without the spike-and-crash pattern of simple sugar gels. Four amino acids (L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine, and L-Alanine) are added to every flavor to help protect muscle tissue and reduce fatigue during prolonged effort. Real fruit and natural flavors complete the formula.

The single pouch is the right format for trying a new flavor before committing to a box, carrying exactly what you need for a specific shorter effort, or stocking up on individual flavors that you mix during longer rides. Use one serving 10 minutes before exercise and every 45 minutes during efforts up to three hours, alongside 16 to 26 oz of plain water per hour. Available in 10 flavors including Espresso (50mg caffeine) and Tropical (25mg caffeine). The nut flavors (Peanut Butter, Peanut Butter-Chocolate, and Nocciola) add 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.
