Why Choose the Hammer Gel Sampler Pack?
Finding an energy gel you enjoy is important because your race-day nutrition should always be tested during training. The sampler pack allows you to compare flavours, texture and caffeine options before deciding which gels to carry during an event.
Hammer Gel can be used during shorter training sessions or as part of a wider endurance-fuelling plan. The compact sachets are simple to open and easy to carry, whether you are running, cycling or preparing for a triathlon.
How to Use Hammer Gel
Before exercise: Take one gel approximately 10–15 minutes before starting if additional energy is required.
During exercise: Use approximately 1–2 gels per hour as part of your overall fuelling plan. Individual requirements vary according to body size, intensity, duration and other food or drink being consumed.
Drink with water: Consume Hammer Gel with water and adjust fluid intake according to the weather, exercise intensity and your personal needs.
For longer events: During sessions lasting more than approximately three hours, Hammer Gel can provide variety alongside a primary endurance fuel such as Perpetuem.
Hammer Nutrition generally recommends keeping total calorie intake during endurance exercise within approximately 120–180 calories per hour. Always practise your complete fuelling plan during training before using it in a race.

What to Pair with Hammer Gel
Take Hammer Gel with water and add electrolyte support according to your needs and the conditions. Choose Endurolytes Fizz or Endurolytes Capsules.
For variety during longer sessions, consider Hammer Bars or Perpetuem Solids.
Save with the 26-Serving Hammer Gel Jug
Once you have found your preferred flavour, save on the cost per serving by choosing the 26-serving Hammer Gel Jug. Decant the gel into a reusable Hammer Flask for convenient fuelling with less packaging waste.

Let customers speak for us
By far the best tasting recovery drink I’ve used in over 25 years. Lovely taste and consistency. It’s my go to protein drink now!
Hammer Nutrition Perpetuem was a key part of my fuelling strategy for the Leeds Ironman last weekend.
It gave me steady, reliable energy throughout the race and, most importantly, sat really well in my stomach.
No heavy feeling, I was able to keep fuelling consistently right throughout my cycling. A great product for long-distance — so glad this was recommended to me during my early training in preparation.
Extremely useful to use whilst cycling, removes the faff of opening gels whilst cycling and the solid bottle makes it easy to get in / out of jersey pockets.
Brilliant product - i use these in all my endurance events - some lasting up to 20 hours. These are great to ensure you get the required electrolytes without over hydrating.
Great product! Very good quality supplement
Great service and the products are amazing, especially for endurance sports. I'm a big fan of the Endrolytes Electrolyte Caps. Their magnesium supplement and vitamin D are also very very good! I would highly recommend.
I’ve used Hammer products for around 6 years now & my favourite by a mile is the hammer Perpetuem, it’s fueled my last 100 mile ultra marathon not to mention multiple long distance triathlon's . It has 180calories per serving and it’s 34g of carbs & 5g of protein seems to work well . I’d strongly recommend for anyone who wants to take on ultra races as this fuel will support you when you need it most .
I started using Hammer Heed and Perpetuem 5 years ago and it's been such a game changer for my. Finding nutrition you can trust is so important for any athlete and I highly recommend Hammer Nutrition for any distance and any sport.
I couldnt race without hammer products. Heed is my favourite, such an amazing product. Paired with the gels it makes a great fueling recipe. Always fast shipping
Wonderful product for general Well being and Recovery. Great quick shipping.
Love all your products. I personally will concentrate on the perpetuum for my long swim(45km) as it feels like a meal every 4mins.
Thank you
great taste! great weight to calorie ratio! thanks
