• Balanced caloric content: (49% carbs, 29% protein, 22% fat) provides you a blend of nutrients you need and minimizes blood sugar spikes
• Efficient Energy Metabolism: Lean LipidsTM are special fats that are easily mobilized for workout energy, enhance your body's fat metabolism and promote protein synthesis, anti-imflammatory effects and mineral retention.
• Muscle Growth and Repair: EvoProTM is a complex ratio of proteins, peptides and amino acids designed to replicate the amazing benefits of mothers milk for rapid tissue growth and repair
• Free Radical Protection: CytoViteTM helps your tissue rebound from the stressful oxidative effects of exercise Liver glycogen replenishment: Alpha-L-PolylactateTM is six times more efficient than glucose in replenishing

It is well known that your system is most receptive to glycogen re-loading and nutrient re-synthesis during a one-hour 'window of opportunity' immediately after exercise. If calories are not consumed during this window, your muscles are less receptive as time goes on and recovery is severely compromised. The problems athletes experience with the window of opportunity are:

• Appetite is often suppressed after sustained exercise due to fatigue, elevated body temperature and flowing endorphins
• Most convenient 'recovery' foods and drinks are high sugar, devoid or protein and fats that are also crucial to recovery.

Cytomax Recovery mixes instantly in water for high convenience, is easy to digest even with appetite suppressed and contains a complete blend of high quality carbs, protein and fat essential to proper recovery.

Brad's Note: I have only been using this product since early 2003 and I think it is outstanding. A specific endurance recovery product is an innovation that we've been waiting over 15 years for. Previously, I've made smoothies with products like Cytomax Pre-Formance and spiked them with extra whey protein and flax seed oil. This complicated concoction is effective because it delivers all the nutrients you need, but it is not the easy as mixing a couple scoops of Cyto Recovery in a water bottle immediately after your workout!

Make no mistake about the importance of the one-hour window of opportunity after workouts. When you get the recovery process started immediately it makes a big difference over a 24-hour period. Add that up to hundreds of workouts over a year and you realize that developing a habit like instant replenishment after workouts can elevate your performance and recovery rate noticeably.

I have also experimented with mixing a thick bottle of Cyto Recovery (~600 calories worth) for use during rides over three hours. I find my blood sugar and performance is improved when I ingest protein and fat during sustained exercise, in addition to energy drinks and gels. Other's prefer to use Cytomax Pre-Formance for long sessions - it is a personal preference.

Figure out what works best for you but respect the stress of exercise and the science that supports immediate replenishment after workouts. If you want the most sophisticated (really the only) product on the market that has been specifically designed for post-endurance muscular and total body recovery, try Cytomax Recovery. The Vanilla and Orange are fantastic and if you like coffee, the Mocha may work for you.
