It's a lot like late night weight loss infomecials "based on clinical research" but if you read the fine print(which is othen very hard ) it's BS. That said Hammer does have some oK products Idon't use them but I have clients that have (sports drinks and such I think they taste like crap but that's me)<snip>
Most Hammer nutrition material is not about the use of their products. Rather it is generic advice. One can use their products to follow their advice or not. IME using vs. not using their products makes no difference to the validity of the advice.
For the scientifically minded, here's their article on general hydration and electrolytes, with sources:
