First Endurance Ultragen Recovery Drink Cappuccino

Tasty after a workout, delivered in time, no issues 👍

I am an endurance athlete, I train 2+ hours 5 days a week and I have NEVER had a better recovery drink. I have never left a review for a product on Amazon, or any other website for that matter, but I felt the need to say how amazing this product is. I run, bike, hike, crossfit, weight train, etc. and this has been a very important part of my program. I am getting ready for a crossfit competition this Saturday, climbing Mt Whitney this month as well as training for a duathalon next month and Ultragen recovers my body fast and prevents me from feeling exhausted. The key is to drink it the minute your body stops moving. Yesterday I ran 6 miles and cycled 19.5 and drank it the second I finished and I felt amazing all day, never felt tired, worn out or sore. AMAZING product! I have only tried the Cappuccino thus far, but I am sure they are all good. It's a fine power so it mixes easily and completely with water. Really can't say enough great things about it....

Really great combination of ingredients geared specifically toward recovery after endurance exercise. I like it because I can just down a glass of this after a hard workout and I know I'm getting all the key vitamins, BCAAs, protein, and carbs I need for my best recovery, without having to think about it. I am a 28 yo female, 115 lbs and I run between 50-75mi/weeks during marathon training. After a 12-14mi workout or 16-20mi long run I will take 1.5 scoops of this (just due to my caloric needs/size) instead of the full 2 scoops. Then I follow it with a full "real" meal of protein and carbs about 2 hrs later, or when I start to get hungry. Just being able to plow through my toughest workouts and then get up the next day and do it all again makes me feel like this product is well worth it and does make a difference in my recovery.On the flavors: I've tried Tropical Punch and Cappuccino and FAR prefer the cappucchino. It's pretty sweet and really doesn't taste much like coffee (almost more frappuccino-esque), but a good pick if you don't like the fruity options.

I bought this for post workout recovery for HIIT workouts. It seems to do the trick but the taste is not my favorite... I can only tolerate one scoop mixed with 2/3 milk and 1/3 water. I recently had major abdominal surgery and am recovering and this powder is helping me tremendously with recovery and energy in restoring balance to my body.

You're likely here after countless trials and errors of other recovery shakes. I've used a few, from "body building" formulas to other endurance oriented recovery shakes such as Ultragen. I know taste is a highly subjective thing but this formula has a pretty light and digestible taste when mixed with cold water. I have not tried with milk or other liquids because this will limit how much my body absorbs, its best to stick with water (plus it keeps the cost down). It tastes like a diluted chocolate milk but not as full... which to me is a good thing. If you drink this correctly, i.e., right after a hard training session, the last thing I want is something extremely potent. I need something quick that gets my body on the road to recovery ASAP.I used to use Hammer Recoverite. That stuff was nasty but it had good ingredients. I switched briefly to a Clif product (which tasted really good but was too expensive per serving). Ultragen isn't cheap. But if you look at the ingredients, you get the most amount of bang per dollar. A full serving of Ultragen is twice what the other shakes are. So I usually take a half serving, to keep it simple, a scoop per hour of effort. I highly, highly recommend this stuff. I do feel that it gets my body on the road to recovery sooner, as long as you eat real food shortly after drinking this stuff, and obviously, rest!

This is the first time that I bought this brand.I was running several days a week and did strength training and me legs were tired from running, hundreds of squats and lunges, etc and then on Saturday I went for a 15 mile run, despite being sore and tired. After I finished the run I drank the shake the minute I got back home - even before stretching. I was tired that night but when I woke up on Sunday, there was not a sore muscle on my body; I couldn't believe this. I am convinced that this product has helped me recover that quickly; I had used a different product during the week and got sore and tired but as said after using this one after the long run, I felt great the next day;The Cappucinno flavor is good; Almost like an iced coffee; it mixed very well with water using the blender bottle;

I'm typically a skeptic when it comes to supplements and such things. But a colleague told me about Ultragen Recovery. He said it really helps diminish soreness after "extreme" workouts. I've used it after my 30-50 mile bike rides and it is incredible! Per directions, I mix and drink a serving within thirty minutes of completing the ride. Even when I've been really sore and had moderate to extreme cramping, the results are amazing! I wake up the next day with no significant soreness, ready to go again. The formula mixes easily and completely and has an agreeable flavor. I tried cappuccino first and haven't seen any reason to try other flavors.

This is the best recovery product that I have used for running. I use it for my 10 miles or more runs, because is in those runs where I feel I need the most aid in recovery. The Cappuccino simply tastes great, better than any other recovery product I've taken. It doesn't mixes to well though.When end up running workouts that took me more than 1 hour and 10 minutes, I usually feel hungry, and with really bad sugar cravings, I also feel like I need 2 gallons of water to control my thirst, even though I hydrate well before and during the workout. After taking this, I don't feel the sugar cravings, and I am not as thirsty, and I could just continue my nutrition program as normal after taking it.As for recovery, what can I say? Its simply amazing not being sore or tired the day after my longest runs, I just can continue my daily routine withou my body giving up on me.
