I have a question about beachbody recharge and recover protein powders. I am not interested in buying them (I have samples that I need to use). What do they really do? Can you take either of them in the morning? I just want to get rid of them.

Thanks

    I think they go in the trash, personally. Or at least check for FDA guidance.

    They were free samples. I would never buy them. I was just wondering what people thought about them.

    Wouldn't you just use them for a smoothie like any other protein powder?

    Usually with a protein powder you just add water and drink it. What they do is give you more protein in your diet.

    They didn't come with instructions? Marketing fail.

    I know how to use them... I have had protein mixes before. But can you take them at different parts of the day?

    One is for only night... you are supposed to take it before bedtime... but since I dont eat for drink anything before bed I was wondering if it could be used at other times of the day...

    They are both BCAA/protein supplements. You can drink them any time. Unfortunately, BB still believes in a post recovery.

    Timing of the day wouldn't matter, unless you prefer shakes after workouts or something. That would be my suggestion...have them in a smoothie for breakfast, or drink one after a workout, just like any other protein powder. I sometimes mix sone of my (non Beachbody) protein powders into my oatmeal.

    Sounds like a gimmick to get you to buy more product. Have each one be for a certain time of day so you are forced to buy multiple containers.

    That can be said about almost all supplements, including all non beachbody ones.

    Like I said before I didnt actually buy the product... I just wanted to make sure it could be taken during the day (i wanted to know if it had any "sleep" helpers in it.

    It has camomile in it, which is why they are probably suggesting it would benefit sleep. So essentially, it's a protein shake with a few extra ingredients.

    These type of things are suggested to be taken 30 minutes before a workout and within 30m of finishing a workout. The benefits of these has not fully been proven if you ask me
