WHAT YOU GET PER SERVING (2 SCOOPS / 1 SACHET)
| Nutrient | Per Serving | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Complex Carbohydrates | 30 g | Rapidly restores muscle glycogen in the critical 30-minute window |
| Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate | 10 g | Highest bioavailability of any protein source; anti-inflammatory; supports muscle repair and immune function |
| L-Glutamine | 3,000 mg | Accelerates glycogen synthesis, rebuilds muscle tissue, boosts glutathione (immune antioxidant), supports gut health |
| Electrolytes (Na, Cl, Ca, Mg, K) | Full spectrum | Replenishes all minerals lost through sweat; prevents cramping and fatigue |
| Carb : Protein Ratio | 3:1 | Research-validated ratio for optimal post-exercise glycogen resynthesis and muscle repair |
WHO IS RECOVERITE FOR?
Recoverite is built for athletes who train hard and need to come back ready to do it again. The sachet format is ideal for racing, travel, and trying before committing to a tub:
- Cyclists – long rides deplete glycogen stores fast; Recoverite’s 3:1 carb-to-protein ratio restores them efficiently
- Runners – high muscle breakdown from impact; the 10 g of grass-fed whey isolate and 3,000 mg glutamine accelerate repair
- Triathletes – multi-discipline training means compounded recovery demands; Recoverite addresses carbs, protein, and electrolytes in one serving
- Ultra-endurance athletes – prolonged efforts cause significant immune suppression and muscle damage; the glutamine and full electrolyte profile directly counter both
RECOVERITE VS AN ORDINARY PROTEIN SHAKE
Most protein shakes are built for the gym. Recoverite is built for endurance. Here’s the difference:
| Recoverite 2.0 | Typical High-Protein Shake | |
|---|---|---|
| Carbohydrates | 30 g complex (3:1 ratio) | 2–5 g (low carb by design) |
| Protein | 10 g grass-fed whey isolate | 20–30 g (often concentrate, not isolate) |
| L-Glutamine | 3,000 mg added | None added |
| Electrolytes | Full spectrum (Na, Cl, Ca, Mg, K) | None or minimal |
| Protein source | Grass-fed whey isolate (98% lactose-free) | Often concentrate or blend (higher lactose) |
| Sweeteners | Xylitol & stevia (no added sugars) | Often sucralose, acesulfame-K, or sugar |
| Designed for | Endurance recovery (glycogen + muscle + immune) | Muscle hypertrophy (gym/bodybuilding) |
WHEN TO USE RECOVERITE
- Immediately after exercise – within 30 minutes is optimal; this is when insulin and glycogen synthase are most active and your muscles absorb nutrients fastest
- Second serving – if you cannot eat a full meal within 1 hour of finishing, take a second sachet to extend the recovery window
- Race day & travel – sachets are pre-measured and portable; no scooping, no mess, no guesswork
- Multi-day events – use after every stage or session to maintain glycogen stores and limit cumulative muscle damage
- Not recommended before bed – the carbohydrate content is not needed at rest; use Hammer Whey Protein instead for overnight muscle repair
COST PER SERVING
Each sachet is £5.20 — a single, perfectly dosed serving of carbs, protein, glutamine, and electrolytes. Ideal for trying Recoverite before committing to a tub, or for keeping in your kit bag on race day. Buy 12 sachets per flavour and save 10%. Ready to commit? The 32-serving tub works out to just £2.47 per serving.

- Kosher certified
- Gluten-free
- No added sugars
- Grass-fed whey protein isolate – sourced from grass-fed cattle

HOW RECOVERITE COMPARES: ENDURANCE RECOVERY VS HIGH-PROTEIN SHAKES
| Feature | Recoverite 2.0 | Typical High-Protein / Low-Carb Shake |
|---|---|---|
| Carb:Protein ratio | 3:1 (endurance-optimised) | ~1:4 (protein-dominant) |
| Carbohydrates per serving | 30 g | 2–5 g |
| Protein per serving | 10 g grass-fed isolate | 20–30 g (often concentrate) |
| L-Glutamine | 3,000 mg | 0 mg |
| Electrolytes | Full spectrum (5 minerals) | None or trace |
| Glycogen restoration | ✓ Primary function | ✗ Not a priority |
| Immune support | ✓ Glutamine + whey isolate | ✗ Not addressed |
| Sweeteners | Xylitol + stevia (no added sugar) | Often sucralose / acesulfame-K |
| Kosher certified | ✓ | Rarely |
| Best suited for | Endurance athletes (cyclists, runners, triathletes, ultras) | Gym / hypertrophy training |
HOW TO USE:
Mix 2 scoops in 120–240 ml of water.
Drink immediately after exercise. If you can’t eat a full meal within 1 hour, take a second serving.
Pro tips (these matter)
- Don’t mix with milk/milk substitutes — changes the carb-to-protein ratio and can slow digestion.
- Don’t mix in advance — best taste and performance when fresh.
Please note: Since xylitol may be unsafe for dogs, don’t let pets have Recoverite.
INGREDIENT BREAKDOWN
2.0 = TAPIOCA Maltodextrin – Less processed, NON-GMO, lower mono and disaccharide content, less sodium content, and closer to the desired neutral pH.
Whey Protein Isolate (grass-fed, 10 g per serving) – The most bioavailable of all protein sources and the superior source of amino acids for muscle tissue repair and immune system support. Sourced from grass-fed cattle, our whey protein isolate also provides potent anti-inflammatory benefits and is approximately 98% lactose-free.
L-Glutamine (3,000 mg per serving) – The most abundant amino acid in the muscles, plays a significant role in glycogen synthesis and helps repair and rebuild muscle tissue. Also raises glutathione levels (the body’s primary immune antioxidant) and supports gut health and growth hormone release.
Chromium Chelate – Helps regulate blood sugar and plays a vital role in the synthesis of glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids. Facilitates carbohydrate storage (glycogen synthesis) during recovery.
L-Carnosine – Buffers lactic acid during exercise and offers antioxidant support.
Full-spectrum electrolyte profile – Sodium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, and potassium to replenish all minerals lost through sweat.
Xylitol & Stevia – Natural sweeteners that don’t affect blood sugar or support tooth decay bacteria. Note: xylitol is unsafe for dogs.
FAQS
Why do I need a Recovery drink?
Recoverite is designed to give your body the nutritional support it needs so you get the most from your training and recover properly after every workout or race. The improvements you make from training happen during recovery — but only if your body gets enough rest and the right nutrition. The best way to begin the recovery process is to replace high-quality carbohydrates and protein straight after exercise, ideally within the first 30 minutes.
How do I work out the equivalent of one scoop of Recoverite?
Recoverite 2.0: 1 level scoop (50 cc) = 3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon. Serving size = 2 scoops.
Recoverite Classic: 1 level scoop (60 cc) = 4 tablespoons + ½ teaspoon. Serving size = 2 scoops.

Extremely useful to use whilst cycling, removes the faff of opening gels whilst cycling and the solid bottle makes it easy to get in / out of jersey pockets.
Brilliant product - i use these in all my endurance events - some lasting up to 20 hours. These are great to ensure you get the required electrolytes without over hydrating.
Great service and the products are amazing, especially for endurance sports. I'm a big fan of the Endrolytes Electrolyte Caps. Their magnesium supplement and vitamin D are also very very good! I would highly recommend.
I’ve used Hammer products for around 6 years now & my favourite by a mile is the hammer Perpetuem, it’s fueled my last 100 mile ultra marathon not to mention multiple long distance triathlon's . It has 180calories per serving and it’s 34g of carbs & 5g of protein seems to work well . I’d strongly recommend for anyone who wants to take on ultra races as this fuel will support you when you need it most .
I started using Hammer Heed and Perpetuem 5 years ago and it's been such a game changer for my. Finding nutrition you can trust is so important for any athlete and I highly recommend Hammer Nutrition for any distance and any sport.
I couldnt race without hammer products. Heed is my favourite, such an amazing product. Paired with the gels it makes a great fueling recipe. Always fast shipping
Wonderful product for general Well being and Recovery. Great quick shipping.
Love all your products. I personally will concentrate on the perpetuum for my long swim(45km) as it feels like a meal every 4mins.
Thank you
great taste! great weight to calorie ratio! thanks
Great quality feel and easy to drink from whilst riding.
No plastic smells either.
Just need a few different colours?
Help me through a 70 miler. Would recommend 👌
