Using Perpetuem Solids

Why Perpetuem Solids Are the Perfect Partner for Long-Distance Fueling

By Steve Born

At Hammer Nutrition, we believe Perpetuem Solids are at their best when used alongside our liquid fuels rather than as your only source of calories. While they can provide all your fuel if needed, they were specifically developed to work with products like Perpetuem and HEED, helping you reach your ideal hourly calorie intake during longer training sessions and endurance events.

For endurance exercise lasting more than two hours, many athletes appreciate having a solid food option to complement their drinks. Perpetuem Solids make this easy without compromising digestion or energy delivery.

Designed for Long-Distance Endurance

When developing Perpetuem Solids, one of our main goals was to create a product that was easy to chew without being too hard on your teeth or gums.

Some athletes notice a slightly chalky texture when they first bite into the tablets. This is completely normal and is simply a result of the manufacturing process. We deliberately chose this consistency because it provides an easier-to-chew tablet compared with harder compressed products that can be uncomfortable during long events.

The balance between firmness and chewability was carefully designed to make the tablets practical during endurance exercise.

Why Are the Tablets This Size?

Some people are surprised by the size of each tablet.

The reason is simple—each Perpetuem Solids tablet provides approximately 33 calories. To deliver that amount of high-quality fuel, the tablet needs to be the size it is.

Rather than chewing the entire tablet at once, we recommend breaking it into halves or smaller pieces. This makes them much easier to eat and allows you to consume them gradually while riding, running or hiking.

A Better Alternative to Sugary Chews

Once chewed, Perpetuem Solids form a soft paste-like texture. Some may stick slightly to your teeth, but this is generally a minor inconvenience compared with many traditional energy chews and cubes that rely heavily on refined sugars.

Hammer Nutrition spent many months trying to develop a gummy-style version of Hammer Gel. Unfortunately, it simply wasn't possible without adding large amounts of refined sugar, something that goes completely against our nutritional philosophy.

Instead, we chose to stay true to our proven endurance formula.

Perpetuem Solids contain the same trusted ingredients found in Perpetuem powder, including:

• Complex carbohydrates for sustained energy.
• Non-GMO soy protein to help reduce muscle breakdown during long exercise.
• Healthy soy-derived fats for extended fuel delivery.
• Complementary nutrients that support endurance performance.

Just as importantly, they contain:

• No refined sugar.
• No artificial colours.
• No artificial flavours.
• No artificial sweeteners.

This allows athletes to enjoy steady energy without the rapid highs and lows often associated with sugar-based products.

Drink Water with Every Serving

Like any solid food, Perpetuem Solids should always be consumed with water or your preferred hydration drink.

Some athletes initially find them slightly more difficult to swallow, but this is usually resolved by eating them correctly.

For the best experience:

• Break each tablet into smaller pieces.
• Chew them gradually rather than all at once.
• Drink water after each mouthful.
• Eat them during easier sections of your workout rather than during hard climbs, sprints or maximum efforts.

Following these simple steps makes Perpetuem Solids easy to digest and comfortable to use throughout long training sessions and races.

The Ideal Fuel for Long Endurance Events

Many endurance athletes eventually crave something solid after hours of relying on drinks alone. Perpetuem Solids provide that option while maintaining Hammer Nutrition's proven fueling philosophy of steady, sustained energy without relying on large amounts of simple sugars.

Used together with Perpetuem, HEED, or other Hammer Nutrition UK fuels, they make it easier to achieve your target calorie intake while helping maintain consistent energy, stable digestion and long-lasting endurance performance.
