Product Information

REGO Rapid Recovery contains high quality protein with a complete amino acid profile enhanced by the addition of 2g of Leucine. A vitamin and mineral profile has also been included to support the recovery process by contributing to normal muscle function and protein synthesis My closest friends have been mountain bike enthusiasts for as long as I’ve known them.I’ve never caught the bug in the same way until recently. Hypotonic drinks (the lowest concentrations)replace fluids lost through sweating without replacing much carbohydrate. These can be useful for low-intensity exercise. You might think ‘just drink water’, but there is a risk to drinking too much water without replacing salt and sugar. You’d have to drink a lot of water for this to become a problem, but the potential is there and hypotonic drinks are the solution. Off-the-shelf energy bars seem to be full of junk. If I were looking for a bit of variety to gels on a long ride, I would find a brownie recipe or something online. Gummy bears or M&Ms are also a good source of glucose in an easy-to-eat solid form.

That’s where hypertonic comes in.They have high concentrations of carbs for an instant energy shot, and to replenish your glycogen stores.

So you can see that the majority of the contents is maltodextrin, with a much smaller percentage of fructose. SiS no doubt use fructose instead of glucose because of the benefits relating to the 60g/hour carb intake without it. This fits in with their alignment to top athletes, but it’s less critical for your average hobbyist. Using dextrose (glucose) instead of fructose would be more beneficial in all but the longest exercise sessions. There are different types of sugars, depending on their formulation. Glucose is theform used by the body, also referred to as blood sugar, andsold as a supplement called Dextrose. Fructose is the form found in fruit. Then you have sucrose, a disaccharide, made up of a glucose and a fructose molecule bound together. Sucrose is what we know as white table sugar. There are other disaccharides such as lactose,found in milk,and maltose,found in malt and beer. These other formsaren’t as relevant to exercise. The three sugars above are the important ones for this discussion. For allergens, see ingredients in bold. May contain cereals containing gluten, egg, milk and sulphites. Processed in a facility that also processes nuts and peanuts. I think the area where this research is most applicable is the home-made energy drink. Whipping up a 500ml bottle of water with some maltodextrin, dextrose, salt and lemon juice is going to be much cheaper than buying SiS powder.It also won’t come with the flavourings, and sweeteners like aspartame, that they use. Winner of the Queens award for enterprise, this innovative product continues to be seen at the forefront by endurance athletes. Use during endurance sessions and events to help avoid flagging.

How can we help?

I believe one of the issues with the research is that it focuses on weightlifters andbody builders rather than runners and cyclists. Even the most intense lifting session isn’t going to deplete your glycogen stores in the same way as a long run or ride will.This could well be the reason SiS include much more carbs in their recovery powder than most body builder recipes recommend.

It also contains flavours, stabilisers, gelling agents, acidity regulators, preservatives and colourings From time to time carriers may deliver earlier or later, or on non working days however this is cannot be guaranteed nor should it be expected. From protein powder to handy tablets and energy bars for when you’re on the go, you can find them all in our sports nutrition sale. Whether you’re training for your next marathon or just need that nutritional boost, SiS is here to help. EXPLORE OUR OTHER PRODUCTS SiS advertise theirgels as isotonic (although I can’t get the percentages to add up – they seem hypertonic). The 50g of energy powder would be isotonic if mixed with 600–750ml of water. It would be hypertonic if mixed with 500ml of water or less (although there’s no salt in it). The 40g electrolyte powder would be isotonic if mixed with 500ml of water.
