HEED Sports Drink

Unfortunately, most sport drinks are not much more than artificially colored sugar water that does little to aid your performance and even less for your health. HEED has been developed by Hammer Nutrition as a health alternative to keep you hydrated. Stevie and xylitol are the sweeteners used in HEED and they are actually good for you, xylitol being especially beneficial for helping promote oral health.

 Xylitol  

Xylitol is a natural sweetener extracted from birch bark and is found in many fruits and vegetables. It is even produced by the human body during normal carbohydrate metabolism. Pure xylitol is a white crystalline substance that looks and tastes like sugar. 

 Xylitol:

• Helps reduce the development of cavities (dental caries)

• Resists fermentation by oral bacteria

• Reduces plaque formation

• Increases salivary flow to aid in the repair of damaged tooth enamel (remineralization) 

• Compliments fluoride in oral hygiene products
