I found this product absoloutely brilliant for increasing my recovery in between training sessions and also for being a shake that i looked forward to drinking post-workout. most shakes will leave you feeling bloated or sick if drank immediately following a tough training session. recovery 2:1 however tastes great and doesnt sit heavy on the stomach making it extremely easy to drink after a workout. it tastes great in all flavours and mixes well in a shaker. when taken over a period of a few weeks you can really notice a big reduction in muscle soreness after your training sessions allowing for better training in the following days. the creatine content also allowed for noticable gains in training ability. overall i would give this product 5 stars.

Making a full recovery after a workout is arguably the most important factor in regards to muscle growth. If your muscle fails to recover after a workout how is it supposed to grow? It won’t, because it cannot! PhD Nutrition have devised a formula which defines what a recovery supplement should look like.

Many studies have proven that to optimise muscle recovery you need to consume a blend of fast and slow acting carbohydrates and fast acting proteins in a ratio of 2:1 immediately after training. This is why PhD Recovery 2:1 contains the perfect blend of waxy barley starch, a market first, along with dextrose. Waxy barley starch is an ultra low GI carbohydrate with all the goodness of barley, so after the dextrose has replenished muscle glycogen levels and create the insulin spike post-workout, the waxy barley starch will help nurture the muscle back to a full recovery.

The protein source is the purest available, whey isolate. With the fastest digestion rate of any protein, this is ideal because your muscles are in a catabolic place post-workout and require the amino acids from the protein as fast as possible.

PhD have also utilised BCAAs, micronised L-Glutamine, peptide bonded Glutamine, antioxidants and micronised creatine to further enhance overall recovery. This truly is the ultimate recovery supplement on the market today!

PhD Dual Action Glycogen-Replenishment System: Fast & Slow carb re-load:

Most of you will have heard of waxy maize starch. Well PhD are the first to introduce to the market, Waxy Barley Starch™

Waxy Barley Starch is exceptionally low GI (1), contains healthy naturally-occurring beta glucans and unlike maltodextrin and maize starch, brings you all the goodness and health benefits of barley. So whilst Recovery 2:1™ provides the ultra-fast acting protein source Whey Protein Isolate for instant protein synthesis and the fast-acting carbohydrate source, Dextrose, for immediate glycogen replenishment, Recovery 2:1™ also ensures that after the initial “spike” of blood sugar needed for an anabolic effect, the Waxy Barley Starch produces a sustained release for maximum satiety and fullness. Recovery 2:1 will not leave you feeling shaky, weak and hungry within 30 minutes of drinking them like other post-workout drinks that simply contain sugars and whey protein.

When used in conjunction with a healthy diet and active lifestyle, Recovery 2:1™ may assist with:

+ Optimum recovery from intense exercise

+ Increased strength and power

+ Instant energy replenishment

+ Sustained energy release

+ Superior protein synthesis
