Frequently Asked Questions
- When should I use the Hammer HEED 32-Serving Tub during a ride?
- The Hammer HEED 32-Serving Tub is best used to fuel effort rather than fix a bonk that's already happened, so most riders start taking it around 45-60 minutes into a ride and continue at regular intervals through longer efforts. Always try new nutrition like this on a training ride first, never for the first time on race day, so you know how your stomach handles it.
- Is the Hammer HEED 32-Serving Tub suitable for vegans or those with dietary restrictions?
- Check the ingredients label on the Hammer HEED 32-Serving Tub for full allergen and dietary information, as formulations can change between batches. Hammer Nutrition lists allergen and dietary suitability directly on the packaging, and our team can help you find an alternative if the Hammer HEED 32-Serving Tub doesn't suit your needs.
- How long does the Hammer HEED 32-Serving Tub keep, and how should I store it?
- The Hammer HEED 32-Serving Tub keeps well when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, with a shelf life typically printed on the packaging by Hammer Nutrition. Once opened, single-serving formats like this are best used within the ride they're opened for rather than saved for later.
