Created for athletes to refuel after demanding activity, GU Recovery Drink Mix packs energy-dense whey protein isolate to promote protein synthesis and reduce muscle-protein breakdown. The carbohydrate, dextrose, helps replenish glycogen stores and also play a role in inhibiting exercise-stimulated muscle-protein breakdown. The amino acid arginine (1400mg) is the rate-limiting amino acid in nitric oxide production, which can potentially increase vasodilation and improve oxygen transport. The amino acid glutamine (2800mg) helps promote proper immune function. Sodium, the primary electrolyte lost in sweat, aids in rehydration by maintaining water balance.

How We Use It

We like this product for post workout recovery! Our muscles really like the GU Recovery Drink Mix once we have finished some of our harder sessions.  The key to this is drinking it slow to enable the mix to work properly.  It's hard to sip it slowly as the chocolate smoothie tastes so good!  It works great with chilled soy milk, almond milk, or standard milk instead of water.  Highly recommend this!
