Ride and recovery drink advice needed

[mojopup]

I currently use and love 32gi but recently my immune system has taken a bad hit with my adrenal glands not functioning well and the low gi products are not working. Before you ask, yes I have been cleared to ride by my doc.

 

I need to find a new ride drink with some urgency. Anyone use usn epicpro? Enduren? Fit? Or Pure nutrition?

 

Finding the new 32gi recover is working like a bomb but need a backup. (choc milk doesnt work for me)

 

Thanks in advance

If you Can get to Me in Green Point? I will LET you sample your Preffered Flavour, Cytomax and Super Twitch. Just give me a Call to Arrange.

Hi Frail, thanks for the offer but I am Jozi based, however I will be in Cape Town in a few weeks so maybe make a plan to meet up then

Epic Pro is about the most horrible thing you will stick in your gob (depending on which way you swing, of course) but it does work like a charm. Frkn expensive tho. I usually save it for special occasions. Biogen Carbogen fine for the rest.

 

Have a try of Solal Burnout to fix the adrenal burnout - also works like a charm.

Enduren is definately the way to go, easy on the stomach and packs plenty power.

10 guys will give you 20 opinions :-)

 

There is no silver bullet: you need to experiment for yourself, me thinks.

 

(Start your experimentation with Octance - works like a charm, not as expensive as some. Might be a bit sweet for a GI32 palate though, so easy on the mix)

Chocolate milk!!!!!!!

Chocolate milk!!!!!!!

 

+1. I add a normal serving of Glutamine powder to it....tastes horrible but works like a charm for recovery

[BLACKvoodoo]

For recovery I usually have a bit of Malted barley, hops and water

Stella Artois is the bomb.

Peptosport is really good - has casein hydrolisate for protein which is quickly and easily absorbed together with a good mix of various sugars for the energy side.

I just bought some epic pro again after 2 or 3 years of not touching the stuff because of the taste. It doesnt taste awefull anymore, I actually like the taste of it now (passion flavour), and will def carry on using it (ok, sporadically its expensive but works well for me).

Why don't you try 32Gi Accelerate as its not low GI and it works incredible well as a fast releasing drink with stability ;-)

[mojopup]

MDW, I will go get some this week/end.

 

Used low GI on the weekend on breedts and was flat in the second half.

 

What do you guys think of 1st bottle low Gi then moving onto a non low Gi? For my tour we are now doing 100km a day so need to something. Will be using 32Gi recovery as I am not sick this week despite the hard riding.

Tried Epic Pro for the first time yesterday, man its horrible, lets hope it does the job in two weeks time!

[Wheelsuck]

To Drink: Peptopro Sport with a dash of Creatine and eat 32Gi Chews on the Ride-depending on distance.

Post Ride-long hours: Cytomax Muscle milk with Glutamine, Try the Chocolate flavour Cytomax, make milkshake..... this is like snot for a 2year old

If I cant find Muscle Milk I take Solgar's Whey with Glutamine and then later Solgar MSM.
