We are sorry! That can be frustrating. Our discount codes offer either percentage off, dollar value off, or free shipping.

But, it could totally be our fault too, so reach out to us and we will be happy to help you sort it out!

For best results, Fluid Recovery should be consumed immediately after exercise or activity. Fluid is also appropriate for use during activity lasting longer than 90 minutes for sustained performance. Fluid may also be appropriate as temporary nutrition during periods of upset stomach.

Fluid Recovery is appropriate for all ages. Research in Fluid College shows benefits of recovery nutrition for all ages, including older adults. It can be consumed by anyone as part of an overall balanced diet. Consult your physician if you have special concerns.

Most consumers notice sustained energy the same day, reduced soreness the same day and the following day, and greater ease in starting the next workout. Individual results may vary depending on the intensity, duration, and regularity of your workouts and your current dietary practice.

Glutamine plus Vitamin C help stop the inflammatory process before it starts through the Glutamine-Glutathione antioxidant system, an endogenous potent antioxidant system that supports the immune system and fights off excessive free radicals left over from intense exercise. These ingredients work synergistically to provide more benefit than taking them individually.

Immediately after exercise, the body’s hormones responsible for carbohydrate metabolism shift and allow the body to absorb carbohydrates at a very fast rate. This window is largest in the first 30 minutes and rapidly closes over the course of about 2 hours.

Yes, Fluid is human nutrition for human activity. Let’s look at the SAID principle which stands for “Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands”. The SAID principle states the body will adapt to the specific demands placed upon it during training. No matter what kind of workout you do, Fluid works with your body’s unique physiology to help you recover and make adaptations to training.

Fluid Recovery drinks contain Whey Protein Isolate, a complete and fast digesting protein that provides all of the essential amino acids required by the human body. Other drinks use concentrate protein or milk protein, both of which are cheap alternatives and slower digesting. The faster amino acids can enter the blood stream, the faster they can aid in repair, growth, and maintenance of muscle tissue.

The scope of recovery is larger than just protein. What about glycogen replenishment, and decreasing inflammation, supporting your immune system, and restoring electrolyte balance? Glycogen, or stored muscle energy, is necessary for athletic performance. Athletes must consume carbohydrate during recovery to replenish glycogen fuel stores that are depleted during exercise in order to prepare for the next workout or competition. Protein is essential for muscle tissue repair and the building of new muscle, but research shows that carbohydrate and protein consumed together work better than either one ingested by itself.

If you are allergic to dairy products, we have two vegan, pea protein flavors of Recovery that would suit you, as well as two flavors of our vegan, plant-based protein. However, you should not drink the whey-based flavors of Fluid Recovery as the whey protein in Fluid comes from milk. If you are gluten intolerant, Fluid is appropriate for you as it 100% gluten free and made on equipment that is certified gluten free on a regular basis. If you have additional concerns, we recommend you consult your physician.

We offer two vegan flavors of both our Fluid Recovery and Protein mixes. Additionally, if you are a vegetarian that consumes dairy products, then Fluid Recovery is fine for you. Whey protein isolate used in Fluid Recovery is derived from dairy products.

We have two vegan flavors of Fluid Recovery that are completely dairy-free. The other four flavors of Fluid Recovery do contain ingredients derived from dairy, and therefore, may contain trace amounts of lactose for those who are highly sensitive. However it is 99.9% lactose free due to the high quality of whey protein isolate. It is always best to consult your physician.

Every case of diabetes or hypoglycemia is unique, Fluid may be appropriate when used immediately following exercise due to improved glucose absorption at this time. Many diabetic athletes make Fluid a regular part of their exercise sessions. Because Fluid is a high glycemic food, we recommend individuals with diabetes or hypoglycemia should work with their physician to determine whether a product like this is appropriate for their unique condition.

Store Fluid Recovery powder is a cool dry place. Once mixed with water, Fluid Recovery should be refrigerated. For the best taste it should be served cold.

Each Fluid Recovery container is stamped with an expiration date. Although it is safe to drink Fluid Recovery after this date we recommend that you use the servings before the expiration date to ensure optimal taste and flavor.
