I'd been looking for something to get me over a cramping issue I have with longer rides in the heat.
Been using Gatorade for the longest time just because it's available everywhere and tastes good.
But it never did anything fof the cramping.
I remembered during my night lap last year, after falling about 20 times due to carpal tunnel problems, and almost bonking that the aid station at the 1/2 way point had Heed on tap.
I'd gulped down several cups of the stuff and finished the night lap.
I noticed that I didn't feel like bonking and generally felt better.
So, fast forward to 2 weeks ago.
Was talking to Frank at Cycle Works and he also recommended Heed.
I bought a can of it and started using it on my rides.
I'll chug a large water bottle of it before a ride and use another one during the ride.
I gotta say, I feel much stronger using it, my endurance is up, and I'm actually passing people that I never did before (even on climbs). I also feel better after the rides.
I bought the Lemon Lime version, but it tastes more Vanilla-ish to me.
A different tast to be sure, but very easy to drink nonetheless.
I highly recommend this stuff.
