Fluid Recovery Review
I always been interested in the many aspects of performance, recovery being a major one. When I began running in college, I religiously took some kind of carbohydrate and protein in a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio (based on what I was seeing in the research world at the time) after ever single run. That quickly evolved to having chocolate milk after ever run because that is what I had heard was "Nature's Natural Recovery Drink." Putting aside the fact that natural is a horribly misused word and that the chocolate must be added to cow's milk (which some people may also argue is not natural for us to drink), I love chocolate milk and it has been a staple of my diet and recovery for many years now. I dabbled a bit in the more commonly known recovery drinks like Endurox R4 (which never mixed well) and First Endurance Ultragen (left a weird taste in my mouth) but didn't really feel a difference from using chocolate milk.
Fast forward a few years to the late winter of 2013 when I saw at Foot Traffic (the local Portland running store I work at part time when I am home) we were caring a new product from Fluid. Our customers had good things to say, so I finally bought some Fluid Recovery to test out. I honestly went in with the mind that it wouldn't do anything, but was very quickly proven wrong.
