Sci-MX Recover 2:1 Isolate Day 1 Update
Overview
Here
is what Sci-MX have to say about their brand new product.
Formulated to load trained
muscles with essential post-workout nutrients, delivering an optimised 2:1
ratio of rapid digesting Cross-Action™ carbs: Iso-Pro™ whey isolate, plus
recovery vitamins and minerals.
MUSCLE RECOVERY: Whey protein isolate rapidly replenishes muscle protein lost
during high intensity exercise.
FATIGUE REDUCTION: Magnesium can contribute to a reduction in tiredness and fatigue
after high intensity exercise.
MUSCLE GROWTH: High protein content contributes to the growth and maintenance of
muscle mass.
OXIDATIVE PROTECTION: Cell consituents, DNA, protein and lipids are protected from
oxidation by vitamin C.
GLYCOGEN REPLACEMENT: Cross-Action™ carbohydrate system with fast release glucose and
long chain glucose polymers.
IMMUNE SUPPORT: Vitamin C aids the maintenance of normal immune function during
and after extreme physical activity.
Basically this formula is more geared
towards recovery than muscle growth (I think the name Recover gives that away).
Taste
It
only comes in Orange flavour. I must say that when you first mix it it’s really
orange. It’s a bit off putting actually it looks a bit toxic. Once I’m used to it though I’m sure it’ll be fine, I’ve just never seen a bright orange shake
before. I’ve only used the product once and it tasted pretty good, a
bit like orange squash.

With
48.8g of Carbs this is not a product to use while cutting, when you’re bulking
though it’s a bit more acceptable. It’s fairly low in protein with 24g but
seeing as this isn’t supposed to be your main protein shake that doesn’t really
matter that much. In my opinion this should only really be taken straight after
a workout.
Really
high sugar content as well, I will query that with the good people at Sci-MX.
Serving Size
Container Size:
1.2kg
Serving Size: 2 scoop (80 g)
Servings Per Container: 15
This
seems really low but seeing as you only take it after a workout it’s not too
bad. If you workout 3 times a week then it’ll last you 5 weeks but if you
workout 5 times a week then you’re looking at 3 weeks. So really its value is
down to personal circumstance.
Price
You can pick it up from Sci-MX for £36.99 this works out to
£2.46 a serving which is very expensive. The product has only been on the
market for 24 hours at this point so it may come down in price soon.
Side Effects
None so far.
Results
Now I’ve only used
this once so far but I have to say it’s great. I used it straight after a
gruelling leg session now normally by this point in the day I’d be in need of a
wheelchair and the very thought of stairs would make me feel sick but I don’t
feel any muscle soreness. Nothing at all. I need to, obviously, trial this a
bit more before I declare it a miracle product but if it can completely eliminate
DOMS then it’s worth every penny! I’m looking forward to the rest of workouts
this month.
