2:1:1 Recovery

What you eat, when you eat it, and how much you eat has a dramatic effect on your performance. But, not all nutrient combinations work equally well. Our 2:1:1 Recovery is based on the latest science demonstrating that blending different types of carbs and proteins maximizes absorption and leads to better results than the use of larger amounts of any single type. Hydrolyzed whey, micellar casein, and egg albumen proteins provide immediate and sustained amino acid delivery for repair and rebuilding while the precise ratio of simple sugars and rapidly-digesting carbs in 2:1:1 Recovery helps refuel and replenish hard-working muscles. And with 5 grams of added BCAAs in the proven 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine to Isoleucine to Valine to stimulate muscle protein synthesis, there’s no question that 2:1:1 Recovery is an indispensable part of every serious athlete’s routine.

I used to have a 2-3 day recovery time frame. This has cut it in half. I add a little creatine to it as well. Tastes just fine for what it is. I will surely buy this again.

Yes  No April 10, 2012 Reviewer: james in Illinois My wife and I began using this product in August and it works incredibly well. I have minimal muscle soreness and don't feel as tired after very hard workouts. It is the one product that I feel I must have to continue to push my workouts. It taste good and I have never experienced any side effects due to taking it. The 2:1:1 recovery is the best supplement I have ever used, it definitely does what its say, help you recover.

I definitely noticed a difference when I ran out - I do add a little creatine and whey. All flavors are fine but really what does that matter - it's about results! I do stick with very vanilla! Was this review helpful to you? Yes  No February 03, 2012 Reviewer: A customer in Tennessee I have noticed a slight but distinct increase in my muscle density, and a much more noticeable decrease in my recovery times in just 6 weeks on this stuff. ps: Remember not to take as a pre-workout or meal replacement protein; otherwise, that little insulin spike may end up back-firing.
