Product Description
Vega Sport Recovery Accelerator, Tropical
Recovery starts when your workout stops
There’s more to post-workout recovery than catching your breath—especially if you’re a runner, endurance athlete, or cross-training at high intensity. Before you reach for your post-workout protein shake, make the most of the first 20 minutes after your workout ends and address all six key elements of recovery with a little help from Vega Sport Recovery Accelerator. Featuring a unique blend of 23 synergistic plant-based ingredients—including glucosamine, devil’s claw, American ginseng, maca, L-arginine, electrolytes, turmeric, and a 4-to-1 ratio of carbohydrates to protein—Vega Sport Recovery Accelerator was specifically developed to help you recharge and repair, so you can do it all again, sooner.

4-to-1: the ratio of replenishment
After an endurance workout, your body needs to replenish muscle glycogen—carbohydrate energy stored in your muscles—to recover. Vega Sport Recovery Accelerator has a 4-to-1 ratio of carbohydrates-to-protein from whole grain brown rice syrup and sprouted brown rice protein. Taken within the first 20 minutes after a workout, a 3-to-1 or 4-to-1 carb-to-protein ratio has been shown to help replenish muscle glycogen more effectively than carbohydrates alone.
Do it all again, sooner
Post-workout inflammation is a normal part of how your body heals the muscle tissue you break down during training—and it temporarily slows training progress due to muscle soreness and stiffness. Vega Sport Recovery Accelerator contains turmeric (and the active compound curcumin), used in traditional medicine to help reduce inflammation. In addition, ingredients like glucosamine help maintain joint health. All together, the 23 ingredients in Vega Sport Recovery Accelerator help your body replenish, repair, and recover post-workout, so you can train again—and progress toward your training goals—sooner.
How to use Vega Sport Recovery Accelerator
Enjoy Vega Sport Recovery Accelerator within the first 20 minutes after your workout. Mix only with ice-cold water (to maintain the effectiveness of the 4-to-1 carbohydrate-to-protein ratio for muscle glycogen replenishment). Available in Tropical, and Apple Berry flavors, Vega Sport Recovery Accelerator is a deliciously refreshing post-workout drink. To take your recovery to the next level, Vega Sport Recovery Accelerator can be used as a complement to Vega Sport Performance Protein. Be sure to wait at least 20 minutes after taking Vega Sport Recovery Accelerator before taking Vega Sport Performance Protein for best results.
