Recover Elite Is A Delicious, All-In-One Recovery Drink For Endurance Athletes

Get ready to come back stronger and faster after every training session. Recover Elite is scientifically engineered to refuel and repair exhausted muscle so that you can quickly recover from your most intense training sessions and do it all over again tomorrow.

Recover Elite is sweetened with Stevia, so it contains no aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, xylitol, or acesulfame-K.

Hard training is essential to increasing performance, breaking personal records, and experiencing the kind of results you expect from a life dedicated to proper diet and exercise. And, as important as hard training is, you can only train as effectively as you recover. In other words, while the focus tends to be on training, it’s key to place equal emphasis on your recovery. Your ability to set PRs, go faster, and train longer is directly tied to how effectively your muscles and nervous system have recovered from the previous training session.

Years of intensive scientific research have shown us that post-workout supplementation can play a pivotal role in supporting the body’s ability to recover quickly by replenishing glycogen, halting protein breakdown, enhancing protein synthesis, and more. Essentially, the more effectively you recover, the more frequently you’ll be able to train hard, thereby improving your endurance and stamina at a greater rate. This is precisely why Recover Elite was created — to be the most advanced, scientifically-backed, and effective recovery supplement for endurance athletes on the market!

Tri-Phasic Energy Blend

It is a well known scientific fact that carbs fuel elite endurance and elite performance.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of supplements use poor-quality, suboptimal sources of carbohydrates that can leave you feeling heavy and sluggish or, worse, with stomach and GI issues that cut your training or racing short of the finish line. We’ve addressed those issues (and more) with our tri-phasic energy blend containing:

  • Dextrose
  • Fructose
  • Cluster Dextrin

Recover Elite includes three forms of carbohydrates. The truth is that the body can absorb only so much glucose (dextrose) at a time. However, research has shown that combining different carbohydrate sources (such as dextrose and fructose) can increase total exogenous carbohydrate availability, allowing for greater carbohydrate use, which supports better performance and recovery than consuming only glucose.

Fructose co-ingestion is also noted to accelerate post‐exercise liver glycogen repletion rates, which is desirable when athletes have a quick turnaround between training sessions (less than 24 hours between intense activities).

GI distress is a common complaint among athletes who take carbohydrate supplements. This is due to using poor-quality carbohydrates that are heavy on the stomach, and due to consuming too much in a given time frame. Combining fructose with glucose can lower gastrointestinal distress when you ingest relatively large amounts of carbohydrate (>1.2 g/kg/h) during post‐exercise recovery.

4:1 Carbohydrate-To-Protein Ratio

Carbohydrates are key to efficient recovery, but research has shown that for truly elite recovery, it’s beneficial to ingest protein alongside carbohydrates. Scientists have researched a number of carb-to-protein ratios over the years, but the most extensively studied is the 4:1 ratio.

Recover Elite contains 12 grams of whey protein isolate, plus 1.2 grams of L-leucine. This maintains the 4:1 carb-to-protein ratio supported by research while also supplying a full 2.5 grams of leucine, thereby fully stimulating the mTOR pathway to kick-start protein synthesis, ignite muscle recovery, and halt muscle breakdown.

When you’re looking to optimize recovery, every second counts. That’s part of the reason we included whey protein isolate. It contains minimal amounts of fat and lactose, thereby increasing the speed of digestion while reducing the risk of GI distress due to a high lactose concentration (which is prevalent in lower-quality, or cheaper, protein sources).

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Recover Elite?

Recover Elite is a post-workout supplement formulated to help speed up recovery, reduce muscle soreness, and improve overall muscle repair following intense exercise. It contains a blend of ingredients designed to replenish glycogen, support protein synthesis, and combat inflammation.

What are the key ingredients in Recover Elite?

Recover Elite contains a combination of ingredients such as: Whey Protein Isolate, three forms of Carbohydrates, Dextrose, Fructose and Cluster Dextrin, Leucine, Glutamine, Electrolytes, BCAAs and B-Vitamins.

Why a 4:1 Carbohydrate-to-protein ratio?

Carbohydrates are key to efficient recovery, but research has shown that for truly elite recovery, it’s beneficial to ingest protein alongside carbohydrates. Scientists have researched several carb-to-protein ratios over the years, but the most extensively studied is the 4:1 ratio. Carbohydrates and proteins consumed in combination post-exercise enhance each other’s efficacy, a synergistic effect.

How does Recover Elite help with recovery?

Recover Elite aids in muscle recovery by providing high-quality protein for muscle repair, amino acids to support protein synthesis, and ingredients like Leucine and Glutamine to reduce muscle soreness and inflammation. It also helps replenish glycogen stores and supports the body’s natural recovery processes.

When is the best time to take Recover Elite?

Recover Elite is most effective when taken within 30-60 minutes after your workout, training session or race. This is typically referred to as the "anabolic window," which is the optimal time for nutrient absorption to kickstart the recovery process.

How should I take Recover Elite?

Mix one scoop of Recover Elite with 12-16 oz of water or your preferred beverage. Stir or shake until fully dissolved and drink immediately after exercise.

Can Recover Elite be taken on non-training days?

Yes! While it’s most beneficial post-workout, you can also take Recover Elite on rest days to continue supporting muscle repair and recovery, especially if you have done previous intense training or feel sore.

Is Recover Elite safe to use?

Yes, Recover Elite is generally safe when used as directed. However, if you are pregnant, nursing, have any medical conditions, or are taking prescription medications, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement.

Is Recover Elite suitable for vegetarians or vegans?

Recover Elite contains whey protein isolate, which is derived from milk and is not suitable for vegans. It is, however, suitable for vegetarians who consume dairy.

How long will it take to see results?

While individual results may vary, many users notice reduced muscle soreness and quicker recovery within a few days to a week of consistent use. Long-term benefits, like improved muscle strength and reduced fatigue, may take a few weeks.

Can Recover Elite help with muscle soreness?

Yes! The combination of ingredients are known for their abilities to reduce muscle soreness, improve muscle function, and reduce inflammation.

Are there any side effects from taking Recover Elite?

When taken as directed, Recover Elite is typically well-tolerated. However, some individuals may experience mild gastrointestinal discomfort, such as bloating or gas, especially if they are sensitive to dairy. If any adverse reactions occur, discontinue use and consult with a healthcare professional.

Can I stack Recover Elite with other EndurElite products?

Yes, Recover Elite can be stacked with other EndurElite products, such as our pre-workout formula, Perform Elite, or our hydration product, Hydrate Elite. Always follow recommended dosages for each product and consult with a healthcare provider if you are unsure.

Is Recover Elite gluten-free?

Yes, Recover Elite is formulated to be gluten-free.

How many servings are in a container of Recover Elite?

Each container of Recover Elite typically contains 20 servings (2 scoops per serving), but this may vary depending on each athlete’s personal recovery needs.

Where can I buy Recover Elite?

Recover Elite can be purchased directly from the EndurElite website or from authorized retailers across the United States.
