Works great for preventing post ride cramping, which I often get on a century or longer rides in extreme heat.
great after a hard ride
I use Recoverite after all my long rides and long runs. I notice a huge diference when I don't drink it.
I use it after a longhard ride(50-100), and in hot weather. I am much less sore the next day with this. taste good also.
I am a big fan of Hammer products. Just as the name implies, very helpful after a strenuous ride.
I bought a packet first and then saved it. One day I had a long ride and was really tired, so I mixed the packet with water and drank it. My energy returned and as it said, either eat a meal in one hour after drinking (which I did) or have another packet. In talking with fellow cyclists, I found some were putting this product in their water bottle, so now I do that. In my waterbottle I put half pure juice, half water and almost a full scoop of recoverite. As most rides have a lot of elevation gain, this makes the difference. I have a full scoop in water when I get home and the rest of the day is not lost trying to recover. I bought the strawberry.
Again, I've tried all the other recovery products and the Hammer Recoverite just plain works the best. It has mild flavors to choose from, I prefer the Citrus, that you can mix with water. This is great because I pack it in my shaker bottle and immediately after a hard race or training ride I can just add water and start the recovery process. If at home you can add it to a smoothie which also tastes great. It is more expensive than some other products on the market, but since it works I don't mind paying a bit more. It's easy on the stomach and has all natural ingredients.
Fantastic stuff. Consume after riding per instructions and you will be noticeably less sore and stiff the following day's ride.
I've tried strawberry and chocolate. Both taste fine, but I prefer the chocolate. Usually I mix it into water, occasionally milk. Taste is similar to Ovaltine.
