Sugar Substitutes | None | Xylitol Stevia |
Flavors | 100% Natural | Natural |
If you’re not familiar with xylitol, take a moment to do your own research on this sugar substitute. You will quickly find that xylitol is well documented to cause intestinal gas and diarrhea. That alone should be enough to concern any athlete, but it gets worse. According to WebMD there are concerns that long term use (more than 3 years) may cause tumors and they recommend that pregnant or breast-feeding women not use xylitol. Additional warning, even in small amounts xylitol is extremely toxic to dogs. Just a little won’t hurt me, right? What about Stevia? |

Electrolytes | e-Fuel | Hammer HEED |
Sodium | 150 mg | 20 mg |
Potassium | 60 mg | 13 mg |
e-Fuel is designed to provide complete and balanced electrolyte replacement that is critical for proper hydration and to avoid muscle cramping and injuries. The sodium and potassium levels in e-Fuel are designed to meet the American College of Sports Medicine’s recommendation for electrolyte replacement during intense athletic activity. Ironically, Hammer HEED stands for “Hydrating Energy Electrolyte Drink“, and yet the product has virtually no electrolytes. When using HEED, Hammer recommends using their electrolyte supplement product (Endurolytes). However, this is just one more thing to buy, one more thing to transport and figure how and how often to consume. With e-Fuel there is no need to use an electrolyte supplement, everything you need is already in the drink. A 24 ounce bottle of Hammer HEED contains only 60 mg of sodium when using the recommended 1 scoop per 16 oz (or 100mg when mixed at maximum recommended concentration). On the other hand, a 24 ounce bottle of e-Fuel Endurance Blend contains 450 mg of sodium for complete and balanced electrolyte replacement. |
