Anyone here have experience with fluid recovery drink?

Looking for opinions, good or bad on this particular product, not recovery drinks in general.

thanks.

Never used it...I'm a fan of low-fat chocolate milk. ~$4.50/gallon instead of $20/30+ gallon. My $.02.

We've had some forum spam about it lately.

That certainly leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I like the hammer recovery product, I actually won a huge jug of it. Started to use it and found it to be very beneficial. So I have continued using it ever since. It is call Recoverite.

Here's one article in support, although it confuses "recovery drinks" with "sports drinks" a bit.
I'm sure you can Google others as well.

FYI

sometimes chocolate milk can be logistically difficult for me to drink post-workout (i.e. if I'm away from home with no cooler in the car...can't keep chocolate milk in the heat)...like this morning for example after my 3.5 hr bike.

in those instances I've been drinking the regular (250 calorie) wal-mart brand ensure.

You could try Parmalat, or similar, that doesn't require refrigeration. It doesn't taste quite the same, but I use it in situations like you describe... You can freeze it ahead of time so it thaws out while your doing your workout if you want it cold.
