Heed

SKU: N/A Category:

Description

HEED contains complex carbs from maltodextrin, our proprietary full-spectrum electrolyte profile, and critical nutrients. Consider it a “guilt free” replacement for traditional sports drinks. Use it to meet all your fueling needs for up to three hours or as a partial fuel source for exercise lasting more than 3 hours.

The absence of sugar and citric acid plus the addition of Xylitol makes HEED the only sports drink that actually improves oral hygiene instead of causing tooth decay!

PRO TIPS
In hotter climates or during prolonged activities, add one form of Endurolytes® to your HEED.

Benefits

HEED sports drink comes in the following delicious flavors: Rasberry, Mandarin Orange, and Lemon-Lime.

Sports drinks have been around a long time, and for many athletes they’re more convenient than energy gels. Unfortunately, most sport 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; HEED’s subtle tasting, complex carbohydrate formula goes down easily and supplies you with consistent, long-lasting energy and the electrolytes you need to keep pushing the pace. No citric acid is added to the formula, so it will not burn your throat or stomach. HEED’s sweeteners, stevia and xylitol, are actually good for you; xylitol is especially beneficial for helping promote oral health. The full-spectrum, amino acid-chelated 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 sports drinks over energy gels or like to use a combination of the two, try HEED and find out what a sports drink done right can do for your athletic performance.

Usage Info

Application
HEED may be used as the sole fuel during exercise lasting up to two hours, fulfilling all of your calorie and fluid requirements and most-to-all of your electrolyte needs.

Serving Size
One scoop of HEED contains 110 calories.

Mix 1 scoop of HEED in 16–26 oz (473–768 ml) of water, depending on temperatures. Sip continuously during exercise.

Hydration Packs
Add 1–2 scoops per liter. In hot weather, consider adding 1–2servings of Endurolytes Extreme Powder per liter, too.

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 one Endurolytes capsule,  or one-half tablet of Endurolytes Fizz. 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.

Please Note: It is believed that xylitol is unsafe for consumption by dogs; therefore, we do not recommend you feed your dog any products that contain xylitol, nor any products that are made for human consumption.

Testimonials

“Heed is my go to Training nutrition fuel. It looks after me whilst out on hard training sessions and help me to back up the next day. I love racing with Heed and always notice a massive boost when drink some after check points.”– Shona Stephenson, Ultra Runner

“HEED quickly became a necessity at almost all of my sessions, and whenever I am looking for a better performance, HEED is along for the ride with me. Using slow burning energy and the full range of electrolytes, HEED allows me to have an advantage on my competitors and compete at the best of my ability.” – Jesse Featonby, Triathlete

“HEED is without doubt the best sports drink I have used. It’s lack of artificial colours, simple sugars and sweeteners provide a subtle taste that is easy to consume and absorb in hot and cold conditions and sustained energy for my day in day out trading and racing.  – Amos Gollach, Triathlete

3 reviews for HEED

  1. Sean (verified owner) –

    I really enjoy the almost neutral lemon / lime flavour. A cold bidon of lemon / lime HEED during a hot day of training or racing is difficult to beat and HEED is as close to perfect as an energy drink can be and with a full-spectrum of electrolytes (calcium, magnesium, manganese and chromium over the typical sodium and potassium). I also like the addition of chromium polynicotinate (niacin-bound chromium) used to boosts chromium’s absorption and it’s reported effects on the effectiveness of insulin to keep your blood sugar at optimal levels and also assist in the metabolism of carbohydrate, fat and protein. No cramps. No stomach issues.

    I was introduced to Perpetuem by a friend who saw the amount of gels and other products I had for a long race. He recommended me Perpetuem, claiming I would only need a bottle with a couple of scoops. I was skeptical and had a race coming up in 1 week time. I didn’t have the chance to test the 2hrs + ride in the last week so I ordered a sample and decided to give it a go in the race (a bit risky since they say do not try something new, or practice it before)

    The race lasted 2hrs and 35 mins, I only took with me 500ml of water mixed with 3 scoops of Perpetuem divided in 250ml reusable flaks and 1x 750ml bottle of plain water and 1 x 750ml of water with electrolytes.

    I managed to perform really well, never felt hungry, it was nice to my stomach and my energy level was high at all times! As soon as I finished the race I ordered the big canister

  3. Scott (verified owner) –

    Love it! Use it on every ride under two hours- indoors and out. A perfect mix.
