The Best, Now Even Better
Hammer Nutrition Perpetuem 2.0 satisfies your body's energy requirements when exercise extends beyond three hours. Its unique blend and precise ratios of complex carbohydrates, protein, healthy fat, and key support nutrients allow you to stay strong and steady from start to finish.
Thoroughly tested and proven in the world's toughest events since 2002, Perpetuem 2.0 has been massively improved by replacing the corn maltodextrin with tapioca maltodextrin. The names may be similar, but these two carbohydrates are worlds apart! Tapioca has far less processing, no GMO content, lower amounts of sodium, and higher amounts of naturally occurring potassium. It has a more-alkaline pH, and lower mono and disaccharide content (with conversely a much higher percentage of polysaccharide content courtesy of its lower Dextrose Equivalent.) Tapioca is the sugar and corn alternative we've been waiting for.
Whether you've been using Perpetuem for 20 years or are thinking of trying it for the first time, you are going to be impressed with this 2.0 version, guaranteed!
Features:
- New tapioca formula
- Steady energy, hour after hour
- Spares muscle, burns fat

Reviews
You need to find out where you are with Perpetuem. Maybe a full dose is too much? Maybe too little? I usually use HEED early on and then switch to a HEED-Perpetuem mix later on during a ride. Everybody is different. Find your mix, then enjoy the ride. Ive been using Hammer products, namely HEED and Perpetuem for quite a while (20 years) and Ive found my "mix". Once you find your sweet spot you will be good to go. I like to get my calories and nutrition from a liquid and not a solid as I don't want to have to waste energy digesting solids during a long ride. Hammer is science for endurance athletes. You do the fine tuning.
I've been using Hammer Perpetuem and Heed for several years with good results, no cramping. I rode a mountain century using Perpetuem in May with no cramping. But I've since joined a cycling club and have been trying to "up my game." In June, I did a mountain century using Perpetuem, started cramping midway through the ride, and was only able to finish loading up on salt. Then a couple weeks ago in August a did a mountain century using Heed with 400 mg of salt/16 oz of water added. I started cramping mid-way but this time was able to manage the cramping with mustard and pickle juice. Also, Hammer products, especially Perpetuem, settle to the bottom of the bottle. This requires shaking the bottle before drinking or uneven mix when using an hydration pack.
I've been using Perpetuem for several years now. For me, it has an improved taste over its predecessor. But the biggest improvement is how much easier it is to mix and dissolve. Although it can take some time by hand, I now also use a battery-operated frother. I put one scoop of Perpetuem in about 4 ounces of water, froth to mix it, and put it in the refrigerator. Just before I set out on my bike ride, I drink it. That mix and balanced electrolytes in my water bottles pretty well carry me through a 45-mile ride with my club. 32 servings turn into 64.
I have been an advocate of Perpetuem for many years. It has aided me in many 100 miles mtb races, 12-Hour mtb races and double centuries (with 18,000 to 21,000 ft of climbing). Talking long days in the saddle. And I can't forget my Everest aided by Perpetuem. It is magic.
Tip---Mix two scoops of Perpetuem with one scoop of Heed in your water bottle.
When I'm going to be on the bike for 6 hours or more, Perpetuem is my "go to" fuel. I've tried just about everything and nothing compares. It provides the sustained energy I need to get home. It's easy to consume and easy on my digestive tract. Can't say enough about this wonderful product. Wash it down after the race with Recoverite and you'll be back in the saddle in no time!
