For now I am working out and doing this is a recovery drink:

mixed into Chocolate Milk.
Got this recipe from a worker there who is HUGE into running, cycling, etc and said the best for post workout recovery is chocolate milk with some more protein. Tried it for the first time last night and it tastes AMAZING and woke up without any issue in my muscles, etc.
Brian, I would honestly spend your money elsewhere. You can create a better effect with less cash. All Recoverite is, is a small amount of protein with maltodextrin, glutamine and a few electrolyte vitamins. You could get a similar effect with a protein powder, glutamine supplement and powdered Gatorade. But, if it works for you, that's all that matters
. Also, BCAA's are cheap and great for supplementation. You don't need to buy an expensive drink mix, just buy straight ones. That's just my 2 cents.

With the BCAA's Ive read that you get 25% of your BCAA's from whey protein shakes so I dont feel the necessity to supp those in just yet. Do you know my huge buddy at the gym? He recommends the following and I've seen this posted online as well from other users:
25g Whey protein 15min after waking up + 5g BCAA
20g Whey protein 45min pre-workout + 5g BCAA
40g Whey protein 15min post-workout +40g waxy maize carbs
30g Casein protein 15min before bed + 5g BCAA
I think that the biggest thing anyone is getting from Chocolate milk is sugar that spikes your insulin and casein protein. I'm indifferent on the WMS, I would just go with Dextrose. But you can't argue with results
