XACT IMMEDIATE RECOVERY

Recovery for endurance athletes. Not just protein powder in disguise.

Most recovery products get it wrong—too much protein, not enough carbs. If you've been told you need massive protein after training, you're following gym marketing, not endurance science.

Here's what actually happens: in the 30 minutes after exercise, your muscles are primed to absorb glucose faster than any other time. That glycogen window is where recovery happens. Carbs are urgent. Protein matters of course, but for more total daily intake, not immediate timing.

XACT Immediate Recovery is built around that reality.

The carb-first approach.

43g of carbs to maximize glycogen resynthesis while your muscles are still hungry for fuel. 14g of dairy protein to trigger muscle repair. Not the other way around.

Whole milk powder, not isolates.

Most recovery products use whey isolate alone, missing the full picture. We use whole milk powder, preserving both fast-digesting whey and slow-digesting casein, plus natural calcium. More Complete. Better Taste.

Electrolytes + calcium included.

440mg sodium, 550mg potassium, 400mg calcium. After hard effort, these are depleted. They're not afterthoughts, they're essential for fluid balance, muscle function, and bone health.

Ready in seconds.

One sachet. 275ml of cold water. Shake for 5 seconds. Tastes like creamy chocolate milk because it is milk...just optimized for what your body needs after effort.

Available in Chocolate and Vanilla-Caramel.

43g of carbs to nail your glycogen window, 14g of real dairy protein to trigger repair, tastes like creamy chocolate milk (because it actually is).

During exercise, muscle contraction activates GLUT-4 transporters—glucose entry points on muscle cells. This allows glucose to enter muscle tissue without insulin assistance. When exercise stops, GLUT-4 transporters gradually return to baseline over the next hour. Glucose uptake slows and becomes insulin-dependent again.

This is the glycogen window: the first 30 minutes post-exercise when muscles absorb glucose most efficiently. Carbs consumed during this window maximize glycogen resynthesis. Immediate Recovery delivers 43g of carbs to capitalize on this window, getting fuel into depleted muscles when uptake is fastest.

Carbs restore energy. Protein triggers repair.

Carbohydrates replenish glycogen, the primary fuel your muscles burned during effort. Without rapid glycogen restoration, fatigue lingers and adaptation is compromised.

Protein triggers muscle protein synthesis, the process that repairs micro-damage from training and builds strength. Whey protein is fast-digesting and leucine-rich, rapidly signaling the need for muscle repair. Casein is slow-digesting, providing sustained amino acid availability over hours.

A 3:1 carbs-to-protein ratio (43g carbs + 14g protein) optimizes both: rapid glycogen restoration and immediate muscle repair signaling.

Consume within 30 minutes after training or racing. This is the glycogen window—when your muscles absorb glucose fastest. The sooner you fuel after effort, the better.

Simple preparation:

Empty 1 sachet (69g) into a shaker

Add 275ml of cold water

Shake vigorously for 5–10 seconds

Drink immediately

No measuring. No blender. Just mix and go.

By session type:

After short sessions (under 90 minutes): Optional. If you're training again within 24 hours, use it. Otherwise, a regular meal works fine.

After long or intense efforts (90+ minutes): 1 sachet immediately post-effort. Pair with a full meal within 2 hours if possible—recovery is about total daily nutrition, not just the first 30 minutes.

Double training days: 1 sachet after each workout. This becomes essential when you're training twice and need glycogen restoration between sessions.

Real talk: This product is most important after hard or long efforts, or when you need to recover quickly before your next session. Easy training? A regular meal is fine. But after a race, a long ride, or back-to-back training? This is what your body actually needs.
