Optimum Nutrition 2:1:1 Recovery Colossal Chocolate -- 3.73 lbs

2:1:1 Recovery™. Rapid Replenishment & Recovery Formula. • 35 g PROTEIN. • 70 g Fast Carbs. • 16 g BCAAs. • 23 g Essential Amino Acids. THE BIGGER PICTURE OF RECOVERY. What you eat, when you eat it, and how much you eat has a dramatic effect on your performance. But, not all nutrient combinations work equally well. Our 2:1:1 Recovery™ is based on the latest science demonstrating that blending different types of carbs and proteins maximizes absorption and leads to better results than the use of larger amounts of any single type. Hydrolyzed whey, micellar casein, and egg albumen proteins provide immediate and sustained amino acid delivery for repair and rebuilding while the precise ratio of simple sugars and rapidly-digesting carbs in 2:1:1 Recovery™ helps refuel and replenish hard-working muscles. And with 5 grams of added BCAAs in the proven 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine to Isoleucine to Valine to stimulate muscle protein synthesis, there’s no question that 2:1:1 Recovery™ is an indispensable part of every serious athlete’s routine. The Rapid Recovery Ratios. 2:1:1 Carbohydrate Ratio. • 2 x Glucose Polymers + Waxy Maize Starch. • 1 x Sucrose. • 1 x Fructose. 2:1:1 Protein Ratio. • 2 x Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Isolate. • 1 x Micellar Casein. • 1 x Egg Albumen. 2:1:1 BCAA Ratio. • 2 x Leucine. • 1 x Isoleucine. • 1 x Valine. Beyond the Basics. • 2:1 ratio of carbohydrates to proteins. • Optimal CARB COMBINATION for FASTEST ABSORPTION. • Blends FASTER, intermediate, and slower acting PROTEINS for sustained amino acid delivery. • Loaded with HYDROLYZED WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATES. • Fortified with 5 GRAMS of ADDED BRANCHED CHAIN AMINO ACIDS (BCAAs)

Great Product, May 26, 2009
By JillC from Atascadero, CA

"It works wonders! From very little exercise to hard exercise and still able to move the next day. It's helped me continue my workouts and not feel like I've been hit by a truck. It has a great flavor too!"
