BETA Recovery Dual Source Recovery Drink.

Advanced blend of carbohydrates and proteins, scientifically formulated to aid recovery after resistance exercise.

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

An advanced recovery drink for the athlete who wants to train repeatedly.

Designed for athletes who train regularly or perform moderate to high intensity exercises lasting 90 minutes or more and who need a comprehensive recovery solution to ensure full recovery before the next session.

Carbohydrates are the primary fuel for prolonged moderate- to high-intensity exercise. After a tough training session or competition, both muscles and liver are likely to be depleted of glycogen, and a key recovery goal is to rapidly replenish both glycogen stores. In this regard, fructose is a carbohydrate source that is preferably absorbed by the liver and is used to promote the recovery of liver glycogen stores, while maltodextrin can be absorbed directly by the muscle to replenish muscle glycogen stores.

To maximize the recovery of glycogen stores, it is recommended to consume 1g of carbohydrate per 1kg of body weight 2 , hence the inclusion of 60g of carbohydrate per serving in BETA Recovery.

The recovery process also requires consuming a sufficient amount of protein to provide the amino acids needed to promote the repair of any muscle damage and provide the building blocks to stimulate training adaptations 3 .

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

Simply mix it with 500 ml of water and consume it within 30 minutes of physical activity.

THE SCIENCE

CARBOHYDRATE FUEL: Carbohydrates are the primary energy source used for moderate to high intensity exercise, the intensity exercises commonly performed by endurance and team athletes.

Carbohydrates are stored primarily as glycogen in both the liver (about 100 g) and muscles (about 400 g), with about 5 g circulating in the bloodstream as glucose. Athletes should aim to begin key training sessions or competitions with fully replenished glycogen stores to optimize performance. 6

Intense exercise relies heavily on glycogen for fuel, which means both our muscles and liver can become depleted after just 90 minutes of exercise. For this reason, one of the primary nutritional goals in the post-exercise period is to quickly replenish both stores so that we can begin the next training session with sufficient glycogen stores to fuel the required work. 1,4

DUAL SOURCE CARBS 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, the muscle cannot directly absorb fructose. This specific carbohydrate is preferably absorbed by the liver, where it can be used to promote hepatic glycogen storage 1 . Glucose, on the other hand, can be absorbed directly by the muscle and is used to promote muscle glycogen storage 2 . The dual-source formulation provides a nutritional solution to simultaneously promote the rapid recovery of muscle and liver glycogen stores 1 .

SCIENTIFIC CLAIMS: Revolutionary recovery

BETA Recovery's dual-source carbohydrate blend has been scientifically proven to contribute to the rapid replenishment of liver and muscle glycogen stores during recovery from resistance exercise.

Adding whey protein to your recovery formula has been shown to further enhance liver and muscle glycogen recovery, while supporting muscle repair and remodeling.

BUILD MUSCLE WITH PROTEIN: Protein is the building block of life, providing the amino acids that help the body grow and repair itself. Our hair, skin, muscles, and every tissue in our body are made from the protein we eat.

Muscle protein synthesis (MPS), the process of producing new muscle proteins, is an important component of how the body ultimately maintains and builds muscle and provides the basis for how our muscles adapt to exercise 3. When you eat protein after exercise, you provide your muscles with the amino acids they need to repair, rebuild, and recondition, thus leading to faster recovery and promoting training adaptation 3.

Whey protein is considered a complete protein because it contains all nine essential amino acids. It contains particularly high amounts of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). Leucine is a particularly important amino acid because it provides the signal to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. 7 Whey protein also provides a complete amino acid profile to promote muscle protein synthesis in the hours following exercise.

BETA Recovery provides 30g of protein per serving, including 3g of Leucine, a dose that has been scientifically proven to promote maximal rates of muscle protein synthesis in recovery from resistance exercise.

IMPROVES GUT FUNCTION: BC30™ (Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, 6086) has been added to BETA Recovery due to its natural ingredient that supports digestive health, immune health and protein absorption.
