I'm Testing SiS REGO Rapid Recovery

11/23/2020

One of the best parts of being a BibRave Pro is testing new-to-me products. Right now, I'm testing Science in Sport REGO Rapid Recovery powder.

I've used sports specific fuels in the past while training and racing. But this is the first time I've used a post-workout recovery drink. I really (really!) like it, and I'll tell you why.

It Tastes Good

I've been using the chocolate and strawberry. I mix the powder with water as instructed, and drink. It's smooth, not chalky, and no clumps! Honestly, a couple of times I've thought about mixing up a second shake. It tastes that good. I'm looking forward to tasting the vanilla flavor.

I Feel Better, Faster

I've used REGO for my long runs and intense workouts. If I run for more than an hour, workout in intense heat or do hill repeats/speed work, I drink REGO Rapid Recovery. I try to drink it within 30-60 minutes of finishing my workout.

It's working well for me. I'm excited because I'm ramping up my training for a two-day triple challenge in early February. I've noticed less fatigue and less muscle soreness.

REGO Rapid Recovery is the easiest way to replenish your body after a tough workout.

REGO gives you carbs, protein, vitamins and minerals in an easy to digest drink.

It Mixes Easily. No Clumping

We've all been there. You shake or stir a powder and it won't mix. I don't know how they do it, but REGO powder in the shaker with the grater insert mixes and blends so easy.

I've done water first and added powder, and vice versa, and it always mixes completely with no clumps. I appreciate that. No one wants a ball of powder on their tongue in the middle of a drink. So good job on that Science in Sport!

I Can Replenish and Hydrate

REGO Rapid Recovery is made with Soy protein. That makes me happy since I'm vegetarian. Carbs, vitamins, electrolytes, and minerals round out the ingredients. It's a total win for replenishing nutrients and hydrating post-workout.

The SiS shaker has gulp spout lid and a grater insert.

Mix with 500 ml of water for fast absorbtion.

Put the grater in, screw on the lid, and shake.

What is a Sports Recovery Drink?

A recovery drink restocks your body with nutrients and hydration lost during a workout.

It helps muscles recover and rebuild, which improves your fitness and overall health.

Many people prefer a recovery beverage because it's easier on their stomachs and it helps with hydration.

I like the way a recovery drink curbs my hunger while I shower and change. It gives me time to make a good meal instead of grabbing the first thing I see to eat.

Should You Drink a Recovery Beverage?

The amount and type of recovery drink you need depends on the length and intensity of your workout. When you work out less than an hour, or at light/moderate intensity, you probably don't need a recovery drink.

If you train for over an hour at high-intensity, a recovery shake can help your body recover faster. This is especially true if your workout includes interval or resistance training, lifting, or long-distance running.

After a strenuous workout, choose a recovery drink with protein, carbs, electrolytes, and minerals. It can reduce soreness, shorten your recovery time, and improve your strength and performance.

I've been using Science in Sport REGO Rapid Recovery after runs that last longer than a hour. REGO has protein, carbs, electrolytes, and minerals. I definitely feel better when I drink it after a long, hot sweaty run or hill repeats session.

I've tried and like the chocolate and strawberry flavors. If you're interested in REGO Rapid Recovery, there's a discount code below for you. It's also available in vanilla flavor.

When Should You Drink a Recovery Shake?

In the two hours right after you exercise, your liver produces glycogen at a faster rate. (Glycogen is the short-term way the body stores glucose.)

This is the best time to drink a recovery beverage because it stimulates your pancreas to release insulin. That insulin release tells your cells to absorb glucose. Glucose is metabolized to provide energy.

If you workout a couple of times a day, a recovery drink guarantees you have enough energy to perform well during your second workout. It also protects you from injury, and improves your progress.

Over time, with regular training, you can increase your body's ability to store glycogen. Greater glycogen storage means great endurance and better performance.
