Product Information

Getting enough protein is also a vital part of this, and consuming carbs with protein assists even further with muscle protein synthesis. When we exercise, we damage the muscles in different ways. This is the reason we experience delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). To help combat this, adequate protein consumption ensures that there are adequate amino acids present for muscle protein synthesis allowing damage to be repaired.

More and more people nowadays are starting to open up to soy protein and believe that it works just as well, if not as showily so, as whey protein. This is especially so for soy protein isolate. After a race or long ride, you don’t feel like eating, but, the first hour after a ride is said to be the most important time for taking on food and water. It might not be the healthiest as far as calories and sugar is concerned, but most riders are going to be able to be just fine with something like this. Some people do this with just water, while others will use a sports recovery drink that will help to replenish some of the muscle glycogen as well.

Recovery for a ride starts before the session begins. Ensuring that you have fuelled enough for the training session in your meals preceding the session will assist in recovery for after it. If you think you’re experiencing deja-vu, don’t worry. Yes, this product does appear earlier in this guide. That’s because it is SiS’s flagship recovery powder and is also vegan.

It might not be a definite answer right away, but people start to discover what exactly is going on. Why is it so important to have a post cycling recovery drink? The drink left me feeling satisfied after a work-out, but still a bit hungry after around 30 minutes or so. When bought as a 1.6kg tub, the value is exceptional. Additionally, all SiS products are batch tested, which is a great feature. We have split this guide into best recovery drink powders, best ready-made recovery drinks and best vegan recovery drinks.

As Bike Radar advises, racers should ideally take high GI carbs both during the race for continuous fuel, and immediately afterwards, followed by low to medium GI foods two to three hours after the race. The chocolate flavour is arguably the nicest on test. High5 suggest you can consume with water or milk, but we’d advise taking with water as the body can struggle to digest milk after intense exercise and it slows down the absorption of the drink’s ‘goodness’. It also keeps costs down. When used as directed—that is, within a half-hour after exercise—side effects should be minimal, if any. Yes, sugars can cause gastric distress, especially when fueling with them over the long run, though you should be fine slamming down the recommended amount right after your workout, which is when it won’t cause a glycemic response.The 25 mg of CBD also works in an effective manner. It is going to cut down on overall inflammation, and even help with relaxation. Racers who are trying to come down from a pretty intense ride will love having this option. One popular option is to use some whey protein mixed with peanut butter and a banana. They are all pretty easy to mix together, and it tastes good to the vast majority of people. Benefits Of Post Cycling Recovery Drink? Usually, after a race, I’m driving home. A recovery drink is easy to sip on the way home. It is better than waiting an hour or longer before starting to eat. If the session is very hard, then a cool-down (a period of 10-20 minutes of very low intensity riding) has been found to be beneficial for clearing the built-up fatigue metabolites that come from intense or prolonged exercise. This can also be done with both active and passive stretching after a session. I quite like the Torq recovery plus. You make it like hot cocoa; it is particularly appealing in winter after a long cold training ride. In summer a hot drink is less appealing, but I’ve got through quite a few tubs during winter training.
