colinw Posted November 9, 2009 Share Dischem never seems to have stock of the cytomoax recovery drink. Their staff has almost no knowledge of what a suitable alternative would be. I have tried wasp in the past which was quite nice but I always felt better taking the cytomax after a hard ride or workout. I ended up buying the biogen recovery drink (strawberry). I has a bitter after taste and left me feeling a little "under nourished". Its mostly a matter of personal taste but I waswondering what are the better drinks on the market. The biogen does have quite a high protein content 20g per serving but what are the key ingredients to look for when buying a recovery drink.

SeaBee Posted November 9, 2009 Share Jeez, also got me some of that Biogen recovery stuff - tropical. Man, they must have no tasters in their dept! Worst tasting experience I've had in a long time! Agreed, the high protein content was a big draw card for me as well there. Recovermax (from Cytomax) is great, and tastes wonderfull... as is their Muscle Milk. If I see a tub, I'll grab it - I'm done shopping around for recovery drinks! Usually available at Canal Walk - but that don't help you much!

skipperw Posted November 9, 2009 Share I've been using the Whasp Chocolate. Not only is it super tasty (like the old Woolies milkshakes that came in a cardboard box) but seems to help loads. Also, with the small amount of water needed to blend the powder, leaves enough space in the stomach to drink water on its own after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted November 9, 2009 Share Perhaps Cytomax should hook up with Sportbru, that way you can order and have it delivered to your door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moab Posted November 9, 2009 Share Sportron has a great one (felt totally recovered after having it post Shova and I had a suck Shova due to technical difficulties of the kidneys) and I believe that the USN one is not too bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaco-fiets Posted November 9, 2009 Share The only thing that diff in recovery drink to normal race drink is that the recovery drink contains glutamine and protein (whey) and if its really classy it would contain some msm as well. To save lots of money on a recovery product just take your normal carb drink and add the protein (20% of the carb content of your normal sports drink); 5g of glutamine and 1 teaspoon of msm. This is asuming that you have glutamine and whey in your cupboard like any athlete should. Buy msm at a health store, its dirt cheap and really assist with recovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
