Outstanding for post-workout Feb 14, 2012
By Chapstick
"CC"
I got this for P90x to substitute for the ridiculously expensive P90x recovery drink. The P90x drink I think is a bit more stacked than this, but this drink is perfect for an intense workout recovery. It's also extremely affordable on Amazon which is great. It's effects on the body are phenomenal. Before taking this and using regular good quality whey, I felt soreness the next day and further after that. After taking this recovery drink immediately after workouts with my muscles still pumped up and like jelly, you feel great within a couple of hours. Muscles return to normal and soreness, if any, is much more mild going into the next day. You're ready for the next workout no doubt.
I also add a multi-vitamin and creatine right after a good workout and it's probably the best thing I can do for my tired worked up body. Do that and take it within an hour, then after showering, about 1-2 hours later you can have a real meal to help your body recover further.
There are so many supplements and whey protein and all that, people get confused about what you need. All you need for bulking up, or staying in shape, in addition to a well-balanced diet, is a recovery drink like this, a multivitamin, and creatine monohydrate. Those are the ingredients of great results. Also you might want a regular whey protein powder to add to cereal or make a shake at other times in the day.
Bottom line is this is the PERFECT recovery drink. You might find similar stuff that you prefer, but you don't need to look further than this stuff. I recommend it to anybody working out.

Works great and tastes good but doesn't mix well Jul 06, 2009
By Robert Conroy I'm a runner who uses this and have had good results. It is the right combination of carbs and protein necessary after a good workout. The mix tastes good but doesn't mix so well. If you're using a spoon to mix it, you'll need about 3 times the recommended amount of milk/water/drink to get it to dissolve. Overall it's a good product that I'll continue using.

Great Price and it Works!! Feb 26, 2011
By rudy16 I've been hitting the gym for about 5 months. The first two months i wasn't taking any post workout, and while i was seeing some results, they were not what i wanted out of two months. as soon as i got this and put it into my diet, it worked great. I started to see better and faster results, and it really is a recovery. helps you get going the next day. Definitely recommend it.

Stave off post-workout lethargy Feb 23, 2011
By Brian A. Seklecki

Its true. When taken immediately after a hard-core workout, specifically intense cardio, it helps avoid the crash associated with low blood sugar. Be sure to use a shaker bottle and try Almond or Rice milk to avoid mixing problems. A good choice if you're sensitive to Creatine.
