A Recovery Drink Built for Endurance Athletes
Recoverite isn't simply another protein shake.
Long-duration running, cycling and triathlon place significant demands on carbohydrate stores as well as muscle tissue.
That's why Recoverite combines carbohydrates, whey protein isolate, glutamine and electrolytes in one post-workout recovery drink.
Recoverite for Runners
After long runs and demanding training sessions, Recoverite provides carbohydrate and protein together in a convenient recovery shake.
Recoverite for Cyclists
Long rides can place substantial demands on carbohydrate stores. Recoverite provides 30g carbohydrate and 10g protein per serving as part of your post-ride nutrition.
Recoverite for Triathletes
Multiple disciplines and frequent training sessions can make recovery nutrition particularly important. Recoverite provides carbohydrate, protein and electrolytes from one drink.
Recoverite for Ultra-Endurance Athletes
Recoverite can be particularly convenient after long-duration training, racing and multi-day endurance events when you want carbohydrate and protein without preparing a full meal immediately after finishing.
Recoverite vs a Regular Protein Shake
A conventional protein shake and an endurance recovery drink aren't necessarily designed to do the same job.

General protein supplementation |
The important difference is purpose.
If your main objective is simply increasing daily protein intake, a protein powder may be appropriate.
If you've completed a demanding endurance session and want carbohydrate and protein together, Recoverite is designed specifically for that situation.
When Should You Take a Recovery Drink?
Recoverite is designed to be consumed after exercise.
Mix a serving as soon as practical after finishing your training or event.
If you aren't going to eat a normal meal for some time afterwards, your overall post-exercise nutrition should also account for your remaining carbohydrate, protein, fluid and energy requirements.
For multi-day events or training camps, Recoverite can be used after each demanding session as part of your recovery nutrition strategy.
How to Use Recoverite
Mix 2 scoops with 120–240ml of water.
Shake thoroughly and consume after exercise.
For best results, prepare it fresh rather than mixing it hours in advance.
Mixing Tip
To minimise clumping:
1. Fill approximately one-third of your bottle with water.
2. Add Recoverite.
3. Shake thoroughly.
4. Add additional water.
5. Shake again until completely mixed.
What's Inside Recoverite 2.0?
Tapioca Maltodextrin
Recoverite 2.0 uses non-GMO tapioca maltodextrin as its primary carbohydrate source.
Carbohydrate contributes to replenishing glycogen stores following exercise, making it particularly relevant to endurance athletes after demanding training and racing.
Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate
Recoverite provides 10g of grass-fed whey protein isolate per serving.
Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass.
Whey isolate also contains a broad spectrum of amino acids and contains substantially less lactose than whey concentrate.
L-Glutamine
Each serving provides 3,000mg of added L-glutamine, an amino acid naturally present in the human body and in protein-containing foods.
Electrolytes
Recoverite contains:
- Sodium
- Chloride
- Calcium
- Magnesium
- Potassium
These provide an electrolyte component alongside the carbohydrate and protein in the formula.
Chromium Chelate, L-Carnosine, Manganese & Glycine
Recoverite also contains a range of additional ingredients as part of its endurance-recovery formula.
Why Carbohydrates Matter After Endurance Exercise
Protein gets a great deal of attention after exercise, but endurance athletes also use significant amounts of stored carbohydrate during prolonged or demanding sessions.
This is one reason Recoverite isn't formulated like a bodybuilding-style high-protein, low-carbohydrate shake.
Its 3:1 carbohydrate-to-protein ratio provides both macronutrients together.
For athletes training again relatively soon, restoring carbohydrate availability becomes particularly important.

Let customers speak for us
By far the best tasting recovery drink I’ve used in over 25 years. Lovely taste and consistency. It’s my go to protein drink now!
Hammer Nutrition Perpetuem was a key part of my fuelling strategy for the Leeds Ironman last weekend.
It gave me steady, reliable energy throughout the race and, most importantly, sat really well in my stomach.
No heavy feeling, I was able to keep fuelling consistently right throughout my cycling. A great product for long-distance — so glad this was recommended to me during my early training in preparation.
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 product! Very good quality supplement
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
