Perpetuem meets your body's energy needs when workouts and events last longer than three hours .

The unique blend and precise proportions of complex carbohydrates, proteins, healthy fats and essential auxiliary substances ensure that you stay strong and stable from start to finish. Unless you supplement your carbohydrate source with protein, after about 90 minutes of strenuous exercise, your body will begin to digest the proteins in your muscle tissue to use body energy.

Perpetuem can be used during endurance events where you can take a water bottle or water bottle with you. It meets the body's energy needs no matter how long or difficult your training session or competition is.

Perpetuem 2.0 meets your body's energy needs when exercise lasts longer than three hours. The unique blend and precise proportions of complex carbohydrates, proteins, healthy fats and key supporting substances ensure you stay strong and stable from start to finish.

Thoroughly tested and proven in the world's toughest events Since 2002, Perpetuem 2.0 has been vastly improved by replacing the corn maltodextrin with tapioca maltodextrin. The names may seem similar, but these two carbs are miles apart! With much less processing, no GMO content, lower amounts of sodium and higher amounts of naturally occurring potassium, a more alkaline pH and lower mono- and disaccharide content/much higher percentage of polysaccharide content (thanks to the lower Dextrose Equivalent), tapioca is the sugar - and corn alternative we've been waiting for for years is finally here!

Whether you've been using Perpetuem for 20 years or are thinking about trying it for the first time, you'll be impressed with this 2.0 version, guaranteed!

The Caffé Latte flavor contains 30 mg of caffeine per serving.

WHY DID YOU SWITCH TO A TAPIOCA-DERIVED MALTODEXTRIN?

Our carbohydrate fuels used corn maltodextrin (complex carbohydrates), which was actually a very good maltodextrin. However, we found that tapioca (cassava root)-derived maltodextrin offers the following benefits over corn-derived maltodextrin, which is why we switched:

Tapioca requires much less processing than corn.

In contrast to corn, tapioca naturally contains no GMO content, so even though all the corn-derived maltodextrin we used in our products tested 0ppb for GMOs, tapioca saves us that trouble.

Tapioca maltodextrin naturally has lower amounts of sodium and higher amounts naturally occurring potassium. Since most people already consume too much sodium, having more potassium and less sodium is certainly a plus.

Tapioca maltodextrin has a more alkaline pH than corn-derived maltodextrin. Since we athletes are "acid producing machines" during exercise, a more alkaline pH is a highly desirable during exercise characteristic/benefit.

Tapioca maltodextrin has a lower Dextrose Equivalent (DE), which means lower mono and disaccharide (short-chain sugar) content, and a much higher percentage of polysaccharide (complex carb) content--in essence, a more “complex” complex carbohydrate--for even longer-lasting energy and endurance.

Tapioca maltodextrin has a lower Dextrose Equivalent (DE), meaning it has lower mono- and disaccharide (short chain sugar).

What is Maltodextrin?

Maltodextrin is a complex carbohydrate that is ideal for providing fast-acting, long-lasting energy during exercise. It provides stable and reliable energy (no sugar rush) and gives you the steady and consistent energy delivery you need while cycling or running. That is why it is one of the main ingredients of Perpetuem Sports Drink.

Perpetuem: Long Lasting Energy for Endurance Sports - Benefits​

• Energy, mental focus and less muscle fatigue thanks to a calculated ratio of complex carbohydrates, proteins and healthy fats
• It can be your primary source of calories during exercise/competition
• Protects lean muscle mass
• Promotes normal blood sugar levels with the composition of trace elements
• Contains maltodextrin for smooth, consistent energy delivery for endurance (no sugar "ups-'n'-downs")!

Athletes participating in triathlons or marathons, cyclists and other endurance athletes may benefit from using Perpetuem during training or competitions lasting longer than 3 hours.

Sports Drink Powder with 8:1 complex carbohydrates to proteins

Unless you supplement your carb source with protein your body will after about 90 minutes heavy exercise start to digest its own muscle tissue (for proteins) for energy.

The protein in Perpetuem only starts working after 90 minutes, so use it during efforts that last longer than 2-3 hours.

Perpetuem goes beyond just hydration. The unique blend and precise proportions of important auxiliary substances, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats and proteins ensure that you stay strong and stable from the start to the end of your competition. Maltodextrin provides smooth, consistent energy during endurance events like cycling or running.

Instruction manual

• Mix with water and drink during exercise.
• Use during efforts lasting longer than 2-3 hours.

PLEASE NOTE : 1 portion is not equal to 1 scoop.

Look at the table below to see how many scoops/calories of this product you need for your body weight. For example, if you weigh between 55-70 kg, you should take one scoop per hour. If you are going to exercise for 4 hours, this means that you need 4 - 6 scoops of Perpetuem.

*These are estimated doses. Each athlete must determine his personal optimum during training, under different circumstances.

Consuming more calories than you need can cause nausea and stomach pain

Keep our motto in mind: Less is Best!

Suppose you weigh between 55-70 kg. That means you need about 90-135 kcal per hour. For example, if you want to mix Energy Gel with HEED, you can get 80 calories from an Energy Gel and 40 from HEED.

You're still getting the right amount of calories you need, about 90-135 kcal, but you're using different fuels. When you mix, don't go over your recommended calories per hour. Too many calories can damage your stomach.

1 scoop is approximately 90 calories.

Important information about spoilage

Due to potential spoilage problems, Perpetuem cannot be pre-mixed and stored for several hours in warm weather.

Neither Perpetuem nor Sustained Energy contain artificial preservatives because such products provide no benefits for athletic performance or general health.

As a result, once mixed into the solution, the protein component in both Perpetuem and Sustained Energy is affected in the following ways:​

• At some point it will become sour and no longer suitable for consumption.
• It tends to curdle after several hours and can settle at the bottom of a bottle or the bladder of a hydration pack.

We believe that not having artificial preservatives in our products is much more important than these two inconveniences; however, these are factors to consider when using Perpetuem or Sustained Energy .

Sports Drink Bottle Preparation Tips:

The sports drink bottle for 1 hour

Mix the recommended amount of Perpetuem for your body weight (see table above) in 475 - 825 ml of water. Consume one bottle per hour.

This method is ideal when training or competing with a support crew and vehicle. If you don't have a support team, but still want to use this option for mixing, keep in mind that this is of course less convenient, as you will have to stop more often to mix your energy powders.

Additionally, because you are trying to meet both hydration and caloric needs from one source, you have limited ability to adjust one without affecting the other; you may need to consume additional water to meet your hydration needs.

The sports drink bottle for a few hours

This is by far the most convenient way to maintain your energy needs during exercise. This allows you to be self-sufficient for many hours, while all you need is extra clean water along the way. The only limitation is how many scoops can fit in a bottle. Determine the correct number of scoops per hour by experimenting with the numbers from the dosage table.

Let's say you've determined through testing that 1.5 scoops of Perpetuem per hour is your ideal calorie intake. For a 4-hour workout you need (4 x 1.5 =) six scoops in a bottle, filled with water and then shaken. You may need to add a few scoops at a time to mix everything well. Then you take small sips every 15-20 minutes. At this concentration, the water you used for this sports drink does not contribute to your fluid needs.

To meet your fluid needs, you will need a second and possibly even a third bottle filled with plain water. You can also use a drinking system or points along the route where you can refill your bottle. Depending on the temperature/humidity and your exertion level, drink 475 to 825 ml of water per hour. As long as you can get water along the way, this way you'll be ready for hours of hard training.

Tips for preparing gel or paste

If you want to pack the most calories into the smallest amount of space, making a thick mix is ​​the best option. Perpetuem can be made in a super concentrated, almost paste-like consistency and you can take it with you in a Hammer Gel Flask.

Using a blender or bowl and spoon, mix balls of powder with a small amount of water, gradually adding water as needed to achieve the desired consistency. If you use one of the flavored Perpetuems, remember that the heavier and more concentrated you mix it, the sweeter and stronger the flavor will be.

You can also add Hammer Gel or HEED for flavor if desired. Depending on how many scoops you need per hour and how concentrated the mix is, each bottle of Perpetuem can provide you with 2-4 hours of fuel. Similar to the bottle you use for a few hours, carry extra bottles of water or use a hydration system to meet your fluid needs.

Ingredients

Perpetuem 2.0 --> TAPIOCA Maltodextrin – Non-GMO and unsprayed, tapioca is the king of complex carbohydrates! Significantly less processed, guaranteed no GMO content, less mono- and disaccharide content / much higher percentage of polysaccharide content (thanks to the lower dextrose equivalent), less sodium content and even closer to the desired neutral pH, tapioca is the sugar and corn alternative we already have been waiting for years and it's finally here!

Perpetuem --> Maltodextrin – A complex carbohydrate with a high glycemic index (GI), ideal for providing fast-acting, long-lasting energy during to play sports.

Isolated Soy Protein – A dry powderedNutritioningredient that has been separated or isolated from the other components of the soybean, making it 90 to 95 percent protein and nearly carbohydrate and fat free.

Energy Smart® (Grape Juice, Rice Dextrin) – This all-natural sweetener with a low sugar content plays an important role in the delicious taste of Hammer Gel and contributes minimally to the total carbohydrate content. Energy Smart® is certified non-GMO, gluten-free and allergen-free.

Soy lecithin – The soy oil extract lecithin is an easily digestible source of healthy fat. This helps create a feeling of satiety and supports the body's natural fat burning capabilities.

Sodium Phosphate (Tribasic) This compound improves the function of all three of the body's ATP-producing energy systems: the short-term ATP-CP system, the medium-term lactic acid system, and the long-term oxygen/aerobic system. A key benefit of sodium phosphate (tribasic) is its ability to buffer the acidity of the blood and help maintain a more ideal acid-alkaline balance by neutralizing excess hydrogen ions in the muscle cell. Effective buffering of lactic acid prolongs energy production within this system. This Nutritionsubstance also increases 2,3 diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG). This compound in red blood cells helps release oxygen from hemoglobin into muscle cells. An increase in 2,3-DPG improves oxygen availability to working muscles during exercise.

L-Carnosine – This dipeptide (a combination of two amino acids) L-carnosine is a powerful lactic acid buffer. It also provides antioxidant support.

L-Carnitine Tartrate – L-Carnitine Tartrate is a compound containing L-carnitine chelated (“bonded”) to L-tartrate, a salt of tartaric acid. L-carnitine is the most important substance involved in the transport of fatty acids into the cell for energy production. Tartrate is a powerful antioxidant.

Choline Bitartrate - A type of B-complex vitamin that helps efficiently use your body's fat stores for more energy. Choline bitartrate also supports improved cognition, learning and memory.

Stevia – A natural, calorie-free sweetener derived from the leaves of Stevia Rebaudiana, a plant native to Central and South America. It does not affect blood sugar levels and does not contribute to tooth decay like sugar does.

Chromium polynicotinate - This trace mineral helps regulate blood sugar levels and plays a vital role in energy production.
