Endurox R4
Let me preface this by saying that I like Endurox R4 (especially the chocolate flavour) and I think it works great for me both as a recovery drink after a hard workout and as an energy drink during especially long workouts). However, if you want to try something that is just about as effective and contains a similar mixture of protein and carbs for significantly less money, try chocolate milk. It's one of the best recovery drinks around and much cheaper.
As always, YMMV.

Endurox (Choc and Lime) are great. I get mine for $25 for a 14 day supply from Fleet Feet (my local specialty running/tri store)
I love it and feel less sore overall when I do it after every workout.
I also have a Myoplex smoothy with strawberries and bananas each day...40+g of protein with all sorts of other goodies needed to recover and build muscle.
I love my Endurox (Tangy Orange). You will be glad you purchased it, and I'm not sure how I ever lived without it before. I'm sure there are other similar drinks on the market, but I'm not willing to change. CAn you tell I love the stuff?
Endurox and Chocolate Milk have some similarities, but it is bad idea to compare the two. Check this out:

One last thing, when you do get it, when you drink it is as important was what you drink. Down it immediately after the workout. Before you shower, before you drive home, etc. After you drink it, wait a half hour before eating.
Hope this helps.



I bought some of this and I was wondering, does anyone have an opinion on how good this is or a belief that something is as good but less expensive? I know that it my seem a little stupid that I am asking this after I purchased it, but what can I say I am an impulse buyer.
