SiS Beta Recovery Powder Chocolate 500g

BETA Recovery Dual Source Recovery Drink.

Advanced carbohydrate & protein blend, scientifically formulated to support recovery after endurance exercise.

A complete dual source recovery drink scientifically formulated for post endurance exercise. 

An advanced recovery drink for the athlete looking to go again and again. 

Designed for athletes that regularly train or perform moderate to high-intensity exercise lasting 90 minutes or more, and who require a complete recovery solution to ensure they are fully recovered before their next session. 

Carbohydrate is your primary fuel for prolonged moderate to high intensity exercise. After a hard training session or competition, your muscles and liver are likely depleted in glycogen and a key focus of recovery is to rapidly replenish both glycogen stores. In that sense, fructose is a source of carbohydrate that is preferentially taken up by the liver and is used to promote recovery of liver glycogen stores whereas maltodextrin can be directly taken up the muscle to replenish muscle glycogen stores¹. 

To maximise the recovery of glycogen stores, it’s recommended to have 1g carbohydrate per 1kg body weight², hence the inclusion of 60g carbohydrate per serving in BETA Recovery. 

The recovery process also requires you to consume a sufficient dose of protein to provide the amino acids to promote repair of any muscle damage and provide the building blocks to stimulate training adaptation³.

BETA Recovery is scientifically formulated, with a dual source carbohydrate blend containing 60g carbohydrates [with a 1:1 ratio from maltodextrin and fructose], and 30g whey protein per serving. The inclusion of probiotic cultures helps to promote protein digestion and absorption and supports gut and immune function. 

Simply, mix with 500 ml water and consume within 30 minutes after exercise. 

WHY USE? 

• Supports recovery after prolonged moderate to high-intensity endurance exercise⁴
• Contributes to the recovery of normal muscle function before your next session²
• A 60g dual source carbohydrate blend of a 1:1 ratio of fructose and maltodextrin, scientifically proven to promote both liver and muscle glycogen storage¹ 
• A 30g dose of protein, with 3g of Leucine, promotes muscle growth and maintenance⁵
• Mixes quickly and easily with water 

THE SCIENCE

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.
