P90X Recovery Drink – Do We Really Need It?

Does your body really need a recovery formula like the P90X Recovery Drink after a workout? After an intense workout the quality and rate of recovery of your muscles can be directly affected by what you ingest within that first 60 minutes after working out.  What happens is while you are working out your body is breaking down the muscle fibers that are primarily composed of protein.  The higher the intensity of your workout the more you break down the muscle protein. Your glycogen levels are also depleted because that is what your muscles use for energy while working out.  Something like the P90X Recovery Drink will help replenish both the glycogen and protein synthesis within your body.  If you constantly keep your glycogen level at a low rate this will cause muscle breakdown which is something that you exactly don’t want.

How Does the P90X Recovery Drink Really Work?

One of the quickest ways to replenish your glycogen stores is to fuel it with carbohydrates since that’s your body’s main source of glucose as well as some protein. Adding protein to the carbohydrates that you ingest will help enhance the insulin level to aid in recovery than just ingesting the carbohydrates alone.  The P90X recovery drink is formulated to do just that so that your body can recover efficiently and get you ready for the next workout.  It is a dextrose based formula for optimum glycogen replenishment.  In addition, the P90X Recovery Drink is a high protein efficiency ratio blend to provide the critical building blocks for rapid muscle re-synthesis or growth.

We all know that feeling of being really sore.  Some of us love that feeling while others can’t stand it! I personally love the feeling because it reminds me that I completed such a great workout.  Well the P90X after workout drink contains vitamins and antioxidants to help reduce muscle soreness and assist with muscle repair and growth.  Studies show that proper nutrition within the first hour following a workout can increase your body’s ability to recover by more than 100%.  The key to to maximize your results is to have have 4 parts carbohydrates to 1 part protein which is exactly what the P90X Recovery Drink offers.

Can You Only Use the P90X Recovery Drink with P90X?

No! I have been drinking the P90X Recovery Drink for a few years now and absolutely love it.  Its not just part of the P90X Nutrition Plan.  I started drinking it when I did P90X but quickly learned that it was a very high quality recovery drink for any workout.  Whether you are running a race or simply lifting weights the science behind this recovery drink is all the same.  You want to replenish your glycogen levels and get some protein in there within that first hour and window of opportunity.  I have done many other forms of exercises such as plyometrics, weight training etc and have used the P90X Recovery drink each and every time.  You mix it with about 12 ounces of cold water and simply shake it up.  It is very easy to make and mixes very well.

How Does The P90X Recovery Drink Taste?

People always fear that if something is very good for your body that it can’t taste good.  Well I can honestly say that the P90X Recovery Drink tastes awesome! Delicious! It comes in smooth orange only and literally tastes like a creamsicle.  To be honest at times I feel the P90X Recovery Drink is one of the reasons I do the workout so I can reward myself with this after! Lol!  Now this isn’t something you consume like water throughout the day so you don’t want to drink this unless you workout.  Don’t waste it!

How Does The P90X Recovery Drink Come?

You can either get the individual packets or the tub of the P90X Recovery Drink.  I always go for the tub because you get more servings.  The tub is a 30 day supply. The packets usually only consist of 24 servings.  The packets are really only for convenience so if you need to travel I put a scoop of the recovery drink in a ziplock bag and take that with me.  The tub is definitely the way to go.

Try The P90X Recovery Drink Now!

I have tried many different recovery drinks including the most basic ones such as Gatorade.  They are all good and have the benefits to help your body recover and refuel.  But I truly enjoyed the taste of the P90X Recovery Drink the most and was impressed with the protein to carbohydrate ratio.  In addition, after doing some research the dextrose based formula does allow for optimum glycogen replenishment which was an added bonus.  Since I started drinking this recovery drink I have not switched to anything else.  I have been consistent with drinking this daily for almost two years now and have no reason to switch.  I highly recommend you try the P90X Recovery Drink.  You won’t be disappointed!!
