U Recover

U Recover

All athletes struggle with or against time whether it’s about lasting the last minute during intervals, getting home from work to train, or having the energy to cook after a wet, cold long-distance workout. Striving for a strong performance means not only having a good energy plan before and during a competition or training, but also actually preparing the body to endure the next session as well as taking advantage of the body’s response from the completed activity.

For optimal recovery, rest and good food are required. U Recover is a recovery drink developed to provide optimal recovery and quickly give the body what it needs to absorb the effects of training and stay healthy.

U Recover consists of a mix of carbohydrates, protein, and specific amino acids to accelerate the replenishment of muscle glycogen, provide complete protein to give all necessary building blocks to the muscles, and strengthen the immune system.

The protein sources are soy protein isolate and pea protein, which together provide 20g of complete protein, which is a dose needed to fully stimulate muscle protein synthesis so that the body receives signals to repair. This also means that U Recover is 100% vegan, lactose-free, and nut-free.

Glutamine is the amino acid that acts as the primary fuel for our immune system. The immune system is compromised immediately after training sessions, and in studies where 200 elite athletes were given 5g of glutamine after each session, the risk of catching a cold was more than halved for those who received glutamine instead of a placebo. Therefore, U Recover contains 5g of glutamine to reduce the risk of infections.

We have enhanced the amino acid balance with extra BCAA. This is partly to increase signaling to repair and strengthen the muscles. But also because doses of 6g BCAA every day have been shown to conserve glutamine during exercise, making you less susceptible to infections. With U Recover, you get 8g of BCAA after training.

U Recover also contains blackcurrant powder & cocoa. Blackcurrants are very rich in flavonoids, especially anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are powerful antioxidants that reduce oxidative damage, inflammation, and thus also muscle damage/exercise soreness.

Antioxidants are not something you should consume after every workout as they can inhibit some of the training adaptation. But during competition season when recovery is important, or after tougher sessions where you value being able to train again shortly or just want to avoid sore legs the following day, then U Recover is perfect.

Cocoa is also rich in antioxidants like catechins, which assist with blood circulation, vasodilation, and recovery. Moreover, chocolate flavor is delicious, making it a good 2 in 1. Therefore, U Recover Chocolate became a given flavor. You can feel the touch of blackcurrant if you're a true connoisseur. Finally, U Recover contains sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium, thus helping with the replenishment of all salts/minerals lost during activity.
