Looking to try a new recovery product and prefer single-serve packets to a canister or bag of powder? This box of 10 Single Serve packets of Endurance Recovery Mix is your chance to easily explore the world of efficient and effective recovery from Skratch. Skratch Labs develops their nutritional supplements and food products from the concept that the proper combination of research science, real-life experience, and wholesome, quality ingredients create best serve the athletes that select Skratch. With the release of the Endurance Recovery Mix, Allen Lim PhD and his team have put forth a product that challenges some of the standard recovery protocol for protein and carbohydrate uptake, and how that ratio should be formulated. On a basic level recovery consists of three aspects: rehydration, muscle repair, and glycogen replacement. Glycogen replacement serves to replenish sugar, as glycogen supplies in the liver and within muscles burned during typical endurance exercise or competition. Researchers have known for some time that the effective uptake and storage of glycogen and muscle repair is impacted by protein replacement as well.

Your body uses both carbohydrates and and protein to rebuild and replenish your energy levels. Skratch has determined that a 5:1 carbohydrate to protein ratio is optimal for most endurance athletes, a substantial change over the 4:1 ratio widely promoted within the supplement industry. There are also necessary fats, which are also required to repair muscle tissue. Of course with Skratch your recovery is fueled by natural ingredients and because taste matters, Endurance Recovery Mix is delicious.

It starts with protein sourcing. The complete milk protein used by Skratch's has a naturally occurring ratio of whey protein and casein protein that scores higher via the DIAAS than whey protein isolate, casein protein isolate, or any vegetable protein source- all of which are commonly used instead of milk proteins. The end result is that the protein used by Skratch in Endurance Recovery Mix is the optimal protein for recovery. The human body absorbs it most efficiently. ... Read More
