Endurox R4 Recovery Drink was developed by leading exercise physiologists and based on landmark research redefining how the exercising muscle recovers. Endurox R4 contains the patented 4 to 1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein to speed muscle glycogen replenishment and rebuild muscle protein after exercise, antioxidants to reduce post-exercise muscle damage and glutamine to help reduce muscle stress.
In two clinical trials the researchers found, compared to Gatorade, Endurox R4 Provided equal rehydration effectiveness and:
Enhanced performance and extended endurance by 55%
Reduced free radical buildup by 69%
Stimulated insulin by 70% thereby speeding replenishment of muscle glycogen and rebuilding of protein
Decreased mean heart rate during exercise
Reduced 24-hour post exercise levels of creatine kinase, a marker of muscle damage, by 36%

This is a great product. I've been using both Endurox R4 and Excel in my endurance training program for many years. I find that Endurox R4 is an effective post race/training session drink, but I also use it during my long runs (I just use 1/2 the recommended amount of product in my water bottle.). I find that the product does reduce post event soreness and allows me to train hard the next day. Despite what the advertisement says, Endurox R4 DOES NOT contain ciwujia. It is the Excel which contains the herb.
Endurox is the best product on the market for reducing recovery time between long hard workouts. Used as directed immediately after a workout you'll find the you'll be able to bounce back fast. Really reduces the soreness of the muscles. Highly recommended!

I've been training hard for a very demanding SWAT PT test. The training involves very taxing interval sprints, followed by weighted pull ups and a brisk climb on the stair master. After the workouts I was exhausted and had a very hard time recovering over the next few days. Drinking Endurox R4 (Fruit Punch) right after my workout has dramatically aided in recovery and brings me back to the next training session stronger and focused. I've highly recommended this product to other SWAT officers for their workout recovery.

The unique Endurox R4 formula includes electrolytes, high glycemic carbohydrates and whey protein in a 4:1 ratio (Optimal Recovery Ratio), arginine, antioxidant vitamins E and C, glutamine, and branched chain amino acids. Endurox R4 is a total nutritional approach to muscle performance and recovery because it is specifically designed to:
1. Restore electrolytes and water.
2. Replenish glycogen stores rapidly.
3. Reduce muscle and oxidative stress.
4. Rebuild muscle protein.
The results of the clinical trials provide powerful support that Endurox R4, by improving muscle performance and enhancing recovery, should be the product of choice for any athlete engaged in aerobic activities such as running, biking or swimming or team sports such as basketball, football or soccer.
What results can I expect with Endurox R4?
In studies against the leading sports drink, Endurox R4 delivered equal hydration effectiveness and was proven to:
Enhance performance and extend endurance by 55%
Decrease post-exercise muscle stress by 36%
Reduce free radical build-up by 69%, thereby protecting against muscle stress and soreness
Increase insulin levels by 70%, thereby speeding the replenishment of muscle glycogen stores and the rebuilding of protein
When should I take Endurox R4?
Endurox R4 is both a performance and recovery drink. It is effective when taken before and during exercise but should always be taken within 1 hour after exercise to receive its full benefits.
How do free radicals slow recovery?
During exercise there is a build-up of free radicals that are largely responsible for causing damage to the muscle cell membrane. Reducing free radical build-up can reduce post exercise muscle stress and soreness.
Why is insulin the "master recovery hormone"?
Insulin regulates glycogen replenishment, post exercise, and also maintains muscle protein by preventing breakdown and stimulating the rebuilding of protein. Because Endurox R4 maximizes insulin levels, it produces a faster and stronger recovery.
What is the importance of OR2TM (Optimum Recovery Ratio)?
Although researchers have noted that protein can provide a number of essential benefits in the recovery process, too much protein can actually slow restoration of glycogen and rehydration. Endurox R4 is unique because it provides the ideal Optimum Recovery Ratio of 4:1 (4 grams of carbohydrate to one gram of protein) to deliver the benefits of protein without negatively affecting rehydration and glycogen restoration. Endurox R4 is so unique it has a patent pending.
