Science In Sport BETA Recovery Dual Source Recovery Drink 1.5KG

BETA Recovery is a scientifically formulated dual source recovery drink that is specifically designed for athletes who regularly train or perform intense exercise lasting for 90 minutes or more.

This advanced recovery drink contains a balanced blend of 60g carbohydrates, with a 1:1 ratio of maltodextrin and fructose, and 30g whey protein per serving. The addition of probiotic cultures also aids in protein digestion and absorption, while supporting gut and immune function.

For optimal recovery, it is recommended to consume 1 gram of carbohydrate per 1 kilogram of body weight within 30 minutes after exercise. With a simple mixing process using 500ml of water, BETA Recovery provides everything an athlete needs to replenish glycogen stores, repair muscle damage, and stimulate training adaptation.

REFUEL WITH CARBOHYDRATE 

Carbohydrate is the predominant energy source that is used to fuel moderate to high-intensity exercise, the intensities of exercise that are commonly completed by both endurance and team sport athletes.  

Carbohydrate is mainly stored as glycogen in both the liver (approximately 100g) and muscle (approximately 400g) and about 5 g circulating in the blood stream as glucose. Athletes should aim to commence key training sessions or competition with fully loaded glycogen stores to optimise performance⁶.  

Intense exercise is heavily reliant on glycogen as a fuel, which means both our muscles and liver can become depleted after as little as 90 minutes of exercise. For this reason, one of the main nutritional goals in the post-exercise period is to rapidly replenish both stores so that you can start your next training session with sufficient glycogen stores to fuel for the work required^1,4. 

DUAL SOURCE CARBOHYDRATES EXPLAINED 

BETA Recovery is a dual source formulation, meaning it contains two forms of carbohydrates, Maltodextrin [glucose], and Fructose. 

Why do we need two forms of carbohydrates? Once digested and absorbed, muscle is unable to directly take up fructose. This specific carbohydrate is preferentially taken up by the liver where it can be used to promote liver glycogen storage¹. Glucose, on the other hand, can be directly taken up by the muscle and is used to promote muscle glycogen storage². The dual source formulation provides a nutritional solution to simultaneously promote rapid recovery of both of muscle and liver glycogen stores¹. 

Suggested  Use:

Add 100g of powder (four full scoops) to 500ml cold water and shake. Best consumed within 30 minutes post-exercise. Muscle and liver glycogen storage is more rapid if carbohydrate is consumed in the immediate post-exercise period.
