What is recovery protein powder?

A recovery protein powder is a type of protein shake that is consumed after a workout to help your body recover from the physical strain of exercise. The most popular options for a post-workout recovery protein powder shake consist of either whey, soy, or plant-based proteins such as brown rice and pea powders. The most commonly used forms of whey are concentrate and isolate.

Is protein powder good for recovery?

Protein powder is good for recovery because it helps you to recover from physical strain of exercise and hard work. Recovery protein powders are specially formulated with addition of BCAA 2:1:1, which assists with accelerating recovery process, reducing fatigue during exercise and maintaining lean muscle mass.

Does protein reduce muscle soreness?

It is considered that protein powders should be able to reduce muscle soreness, speed up recovery and repair the muscles torn during weightlifting and strenuous exercises. But does this hold under scientific scrutiny? A unique blend of amino acids called Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) have shown a lot of promise in improving muscle recovery and encouraging growth. These amino acids are: isoleucine, leucine and valine; one study even found taking a BCAA supplement before working out improves performance and noticeably reduces muscle soreness later on. Luckily, these helpful amino acids are blended in protein powder as well! So according to the evidence it might be able to reduce severity of muscle soreness by allowing your muscles recover faster.

What is the difference between a protein shake and a recovery drink?

The difference between a protein shake and a recovery drink is simple. If you train very hard and want to build muscles and abs, you will need to consume recovery drink - which is essentially rich in performance protein that also includes BCAA. You will need to drink it after your work-out. But if you do not train that hard and simply want to supplement your diet with protein powder that includes all 9 essential amino acids, you may just need to include a protein shake of either Zest Slim or Complete Protein.
