PURE RECOVERY
Exercise and other strenuous physical activity decreases muscle glycogen levels, breaks down muscle proteins, and can lead to electrolyte imbalances. Specialized recovery nutrition is essential to replenish glycogen, repair muscle tissue, and rebalance electrolytes.* REC-4 was formulated to maximize the recovery process - providing a precise, scientific combination of ultra-filtered whey protein, glycogen replenishing carbohydrates, L-taurine, and over 600 mg of electrolytes.* Don’t settle for sore muscles or post-exercise fatigue; REC-4 is built to handle the most demanding recovery needs!*
QUALITY ASSURANCE
REC-4 is manufactured in facilities that are certified cGMP-compliant by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In addition, these facilities are certified cGMP-compliant by the Natural Products Association (NPA) - the highest certification attainable in the industry. Provata Bioactives takes these additional steps to ensure clients receive a pure, unadulterated, and accurately labeled product.
No Added Sugar
Sugar is sugar, and its excess in the diet is unequivocally harmful to health. Whether refined or unrefined sugar — it doesn't matter. According to the FDA, experts suggest that, "For the average American, 16 percent of their total daily calories come from added sugars. The major sources are soda, energy and sports drinks, grain-based desserts, sugar-sweetened fruit drinks, dairy-based desserts, and candy." The widespread health consequences of sugar intake are so alarming, that the FDA has finalized new changes for the Nutrition Facts Label which will require the amount of added sugars to be disclosed. REC-4 does not contain added sugar.
No Artificial Colors, Flavors, or Sweeteners!
Many companies use artificial sweeteners which have numerous health concerns. One of the most common artificial sweeteners in the food and beverage industry is sucralose. This synthetic organochlorine sweetener has been shown in clinical studies to alter the microbial composition in the gastrointestinal tract, reducing beneficial bacteria. Sucralose has also been shown to negatively alter glucose and insulin levels. REC-4 is sweetened with stevia leaf extract, a natural extract that is up to 150 times the sweetness of sugar.
In addition, the food and supplement industry often uses synthetic food dyes (artificial color) to make beverages and food appear bright and bold. However, research strongly suggests an association between the ingestion of synthetic food dyes and attention deficit hyperactive disorders (ADHD). Synthetic food dyes are made from petrochemicals and include FD&C Blue #1, Blue #2, Green #3, Red #3, Red #40, Yellow #5, and Yellow #6. REC-4 is proudly formulated using only ALL-NATURAL colors, flavors, and sweeteners.
