Anyone try this stuff? I have experimented with supplements in my time (mostly back in my gym rat weight training days), and I have found that most are garbage and have nominal affects. I haven't taken anything since I have made the move to cardio sports- biking, running & AR. In the past 5 years I've only been using a daily multi and Accelerade/Endurox during/after rides. I just started taking Recover-ease by recommendation from a friend and I am very impressed with the results. I do a fair amount of endurance racing and I just completed a 270 mile road ride from CT to VT and back this past weekend. I took Recover-ease throughout the weekend and felt great on Monday. Hardly any soreness and I am generally less fatigued than I would have expected. I'm really impressed with the results and will continue to use it after hard training. ( I hope this doesn't sound like a sell) I'm just curios of others experience with the product.

Yes, I have been using it for several months and I have really noticed a difference--huge reduction in recovery time and much less leg fatigue in general. I take it after every workout, as well as everyday for a week leading up to a race and every day for the week after a race. I've also turned many people on to it and they have seen the same benefit themselves. It's great stuff :thumbsup:

I'm in the process of trying out their new product Energ-Ease but I can't comment on it yet.

Anything that works better than you think it should has to raise flags. I have no idea what's in this product, so don't take this post as anything but random thinking out loud. I've run through the gammut of sports drinks, protein powders, homemade concoctions, praying to Buddha, etc etc. And in my experience there is no miracle item which makes it all better. Something like this makes me wonder if it's got creatine in it, or some other legal but questionable substance. I guess the point is, do your research and buyer beware. Otherwise keep us posted.

I have heard mixed results from it. Mostly due to stomach discomfort and GI track issues not from not getting positve results. Personally i use the Hammer Recoverite and it works really well, but it is a powder you mix into water, vs a casule like Recover-ease.

The only other peice i see missing with Recover-ease is the lack of protein. Protein is very important in recovery and rebuilding damaged muscles.

Recover-Ease is made of amino acids (BCAA's, glutamine) and is a supplement. That means it is meant to be taken with your normal recovery drink (or food/water), such as Recoverite if that's what you like. I know many people using it and they've all had positive results..I haven't heard of any of them having any type of GI distress. I have an especially weak stomach and I have not had any issues. The only thing I could see being a problem is if you swallowed a bunch of capsules without water or some other type of drink. I've also never taken them on an empty stomach, so that could be it too.

I've been using it since Feb 1 and swear by it. Take it with every post ride drink/meal/snack. I have found that when taken on an empty stomach it can cause some discomfort, so now I make sure to have some calories available (which I should have anyway).

I've also it used during endurance races for it's inherent anti-inflammatory effects.

There is no creatine in this product.

I'm considering taking this stuff, along with it's sister supplement of Energ-Ease and was curious as to how some of you who've used the stuff have felt with it over the long haul. The manufacturer has a pretty solid, "six pack" offer that knocks the cost per bottle down to $25 a piece (much better than the regular $39.99) but, before I go shelling out $150 I want to make sure I'm getting a quality product.

I've researched the stuff on www.supplementwatch.com (an independent research group) and they give both five out of five stars but I still like to hear how it works from people who've actually used it; thanks!

I still use it and believe it works. I have cut down on the frequency that I take it though, since I'm not training hard right now. As soon as the hard workouts start I'll be taking my Recover-Ease diligently.

Just get L-Glutamine.
It works and is much cheaper.

I've actually taken glutamine for quite some time now and, while it does work, it's always in powder form. This pill form will allow me to down the formula right after a workout; something I've never really been able to do on a consistent basis with straight gluatimine or Endurox.
