5.0 out of 5 stars Really helps with recovery after running, June 3, 2009

I have been using this product for over a year, and take it after my 10+ mile outdoor runs, or after my indoor gym workouts that end with a 5-6 mile run on the treadmill. I don't have the muscle aches that I used to get before I started taking this.

I prefer the strawberry flavor to the original. I usually drink it with a couple of low fat string cheeses to give me the protein boost that my body craves after running or other vigorous exercise.

I use this product in conjunction with Hammer Gel (which I take before and during my running, and which I have reviewed on Amazon), and never feel "wiped out" after my runs.

I highly recommend this product.

This review is from: Hammer RECOVERITE - Glutamine Fortified Recovery Drink (32 servings) (Misc.)

Like most Hammer products, this stuff works and tastes great. It is not nearly as sweet as many recovery products and has a very easy to drink, subtle flavor. The portability makes it easy to take along to a race or training run and mix with water when you finish. It also mixes very easily. I take it on all my long runs (over 10 miles or so) and really hard speedwork sessions. I may be conservative, but sometimes only use 1/2 the bag if I know I'll be eating a balanced meal right afterward. For a marathon, I take the whole bag AND eat a balanced meal. It really helps me get up the next day and/or continue training.

4.0 out of 5 stars Effective Recovery Carb/Protein Drink, May 22, 2009

By

I'm not a long term user of this product. My experience in drinking it after two marathons and two very long training walks has been with the result that my muscles seem to not be as cramped, sore and tight the next day. I'm thinking that it has to do with how the ingredients in the Recoverite lessen the effects of lactic acid buildup in the muscles. Or perhaps it's just mind over matter; although we are what we eat and drink:*) Whatever is happening it seems to be a good thing.
