Recover 5kg for Easier Carbohydrate, Recovery or Meal Support
CNP Recover delivers 70g of carbohydrates, 316kcal and 8g of protein per 80g serving, with 0.8g of fat and 46g of sugars. Each serving includes 4g L-leucine, 2g L-glutamine, 256mg vitamin C and 8mg vitamin E. The 5kg tub provides 62 servings. This is a carbohydrate-dominant post-workout recovery product, not a high-protein shake.
Rapid post-workout carbohydrate intake replenishes muscle glycogen depleted during training. The inclusion of 4g free-form L-leucine is clinically relevant - leucine is the primary amino acid that activates mTOR signalling for muscle protein synthesis, and supplementing free-form leucine alongside a high-carbohydrate post-workout serving can stimulate protein synthesis even at the relatively low protein dose (8g) in this product. Vitamin C at 256mg (320% NRV) and vitamin E contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress during recovery.
CNP Recover is designed for high-intensity athletes who prioritise glycogen repletion after training rather than protein delivery - the formula reflects a sports nutrition approach where carbohydrate is the primary post-workout concern and protein is managed through a separate shake or whole food. At 5kg with 62 servings it provides good run-rate value for athletes consuming it consistently after every session.
Built for endurance athletes, team sport players, CrossFit athletes and high-frequency lifters who train hard enough to significantly deplete glycogen and want a dedicated post-workout carbohydrate and recovery formula. Not suitable as a protein-focused post-workout shake - the 8g protein per serving is insufficient for muscle protein synthesis goals on its own. Contains milk and soy. May contain gluten, egg, nuts and peanuts.
Alternatives: Applied Critical Mass Pro 6kg (566kcal/42g protein + 5g creatine) for a combined protein and carb all-in-one, or XL Nutrition XTRA Mass Gainer 5.2kg (1000kcal/50g protein) for a higher-calorie gainer.
