Fluid Recovery is like no other drink on the market. Other drinks use dextrose, a cheap simple sugar as their number one carbohydrate. We use maltodextrin, a higher quality complex carbohydrate that isn’t too sweet and doesn’t cause stomach upset.
Other drinks use cheap proteins such as whey protein concentrate, a poor alternative that contains only 30-80% actual protein with the remainder consisting of lactose and fat. We use 100% whey protein isolate, no lactose, no fat.
Other drinks claim the benefits of L-Glutamine, but put only a fraction of the amount needed for its precious benefits. We use 2500mg per 126 calorie serving, more than any other drink on the market. Why? Because that’s what the body needs and deserves. You might ask yourself, well, why don’t other companies do that? L-Glutamine is expensive.
Other drinks include fat, and often from saturated sources. Fat will only slow the absorption of nutrients, impair the recovery process, and if they are saturated fats, cause more inflammation! Fluid Recover: 0g fat.
Other drinks use artificial sweeteners claiming their superiority to all natural fruit sugar. How natural or healthy is a sugar alcohol, a nice name for a hydrogenated carbohydrate? Do you know what’s in your recovery drink?
