FAQ

Do I need to take Hammer Gel with water?: Hammer Gel is designed to be consumed with plain water. Drink 16 to 26 oz of water per hour alongside gel use, adjusting for heat and effort level. This is what makes Hammer Gel particularly well-suited to cyclists who prefer plain water in their bottles rather than a mixed drink.

Which single-serving flavors contain caffeine?: Espresso contains 50mg of caffeine per serving. Tropical contains 25mg per serving. All other flavors are caffeine-free.

Is it cheaper to buy a box instead of singles?: Yes. Buying a box of 24 brings the cost per gel down by 10% compared to single-serving pouches. Once you have identified your preferred flavors, the box is the economical choice.

Are all flavors vegan?: All flavors except Nocciola are vegan-friendly. Nocciola contains non-fat dry milk as part of the hazelnut paste and is not vegan.

What is different about the nut-based flavors?: The Peanut Butter, Peanut Butter-Chocolate, and Nocciola flavors contain 1g of protein and 2.5 to 3.5g of fat per serving from their nut ingredients. This makes them more calorie-dense and suitable as primary fuel for ultra-distance events. Standard flavors contain 0g fat and 0g protein.
