Features
- 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! With far 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 (courtesy of its lower Dextrose Equivalent), tapioca is the sugar and corn alternative we’ve been wanting to bring to you for years is finally here! 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!Thoroughly tested and proven in the world’s toughest events, Perpetuem satisfies your body’s energy requirements when workouts and events extend beyond three hours. Its unique blend and precise ratios of complex carbohydrates, protein, healthy fat, and key auxiliary nutrients allow you to stay strong and steady from start to finish.
- Caffé Latte flavor contains 25 mg of caffeine per serving.
Mix 1 scoop to 16-28 ounces of water for a one-hour bottle. See below for other options. You can mix and consume Perpetuem three different ways depending on - individual preference and logistical concerns. Please experiment with
- the following options to determine which works best for you.
The One-Hour Bottle - Mix the suggested amount of Perpetuem for your body weight in 16-28 ounces of - water. Consume one bottle hourly. This method is ideal when training or
- racing with a support crew and vehicle. If you're without a support
- crew, but still want to use this option for mixing, keep in mind that
- it's obviously less convenient as you'll have to stop more frequently to
- mix your fuel. Also, because you are trying to fulfill both hydration
- and caloric requirements from one source, you have limited ability to
- adjust one without affecting the other; you may need to consume
- additional water to satisfy hydration requirements.
The Multi-Hour Bottle - This is by far the most - convenient method of fueling because it allows you to be self-sufficient
- for many hours, requiring only additional plain water along the way.
- The only limitation is how many scoops you can fit into a bottle.
- Determine your proper hourly intake of scoops by experimenting with the
- numbers from the dosage chart. Let's say you've determined through
- testing that 1.5 scoops of Perpetuem per hour is your ideal caloric
- intake. For a 4-hour workout, you'll need (4 x 1.5=) six scoops in a
- bottle, filled with water and shaken. You may need to add a few scoops
- at a time to get it all to mix well. You then "nurse" this bottle,
- taking small sips every 15-20 minutes. At this concentration, the water
- in the mixed bottle does not contribute much at all to your hourly fluid
- intake needs. To meet your fluid requirements, carry a second and
- possibly even a third bottle of plain water, use a hydration system, or
- know where you can refill along your route. Drink according to the
- temperature/humidity and your exertion level so that you consume in the
- range of 16-28 ounces of water of plain water per hour. This way, as long as you can obtain water along the way, you're set for hours of hard training.
Gel or Paste - If you want to carry the highest - volume of calories in the least amount of space, making a thick mix is
- your best option. Perpetuem can be made into a super-concentrated, near
- paste-like consistency and dispensed from a Hammer Gel Flask. Using a
- blender or bowl and spoon, mix scoops of powder with a small amount of
- water, gradually adding water as necessary to create the desired
- consistency. Remember, the heavier and more concentrated you mix it, the
- sweeter and stronger the flavor will become. You can also add Hammer
- Gel or HEED for flavor if desired. Depending on how many scoops per hour
- you require, and how concentrated the mix is, each flask of Perpetuem
- can supply you with 2-4 hours of fuel. As with the multi-hour bottle,
- you must carry additional bottles of plain water or use a hydration
- system to meet your fluid requirements.
Special Note on Perpetuem: Perpetuem is a high concentration - calorie source (via its complex carbohydrate, soy protein, and healthy
- fat components); therefore we have noted that many athletes do well with
- a substantially lower calorie intake when using Perpetuem as their
- primary-to-sole fuel. With this particular fuel, we highly recommend
- starting with the lowest amount suggested-perhaps even a bit lower and
- work your way up to a higher amount, if a higher amount proves to be
- necessary via testing in training.
