What makes CLIF SHOT® Recovery Unique?

Protein
Protein has 2 purposes in CLIF SHOT® Recovery. First, it provides the basis for muscular regeneration. Second, it's been clearly shown that in the presence of protein, carbohydrate re-uptake is more substantial than if you ingest carbohydrate alone, i.e. a glass of orange juice.

Amino Acids
Amino Acids are the specific building blocks of protein. In CLIF SHOT® Recovery they have included additional amounts of Glutamine, Arginine and branched chain amino acids (BCAA's) Valine and Isoleucine to provide enhanced immune function, glycogen (stored carbohydrate) replenishment, and muscle tissue growth. Also, ample amounts of the BCAA Leucine are present in the whole whey protein.

Anti-Oxidants
CLIF SHOT® Recovery's Vitamins A, C, E, and Green Tea Extract help boost the immune system as well as help fight the oxidative stress that damages cells during high intensity activity.

Hydration
After hard training or racing, you could be moderately dehydrated. Start your recovery with a beverage. By re-hydrating right after activity, your body will come back to life much faster than if you remain dehydrated. Mix CLIF SHOT® Recovery with water, so that you not only take in needed nutrients, but also the most vital of all - water!

The longer and harder you go, the more carbohydrate you burn. If you do not replace this carbohydrate on a regular basis, then your stores may become chronically low. Post-activity, there is a 30-minute window of opportunity for maximum up-take of carbohydrate by your muscles. As soon as you complete your activity, reach for CLIF SHOT® Recovery.

Electrolytes
Mineral salts such as sodium chloride, potassium, magnesium, and calcium are known collectively as electrolytes. These electrolytes allow electrical impulses to travel properly throughout your body, permitting normal bodily function. When you sweat, you start to deplete your electrolyte stores.

Similar to dehydration, electrolyte depletion will first lead to performance declines and then onto more serious health issues. CLIF SHOT® Electrolyte and CLIF SHOT ® Recovery provide you with ample amounts of sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium to counteract the losses in your sweat.
