Pro recovery caramel taste

As for protein, there’s no difference: all our recovery products provide around 23 g per serving. It all comes down to carbohydrates.
Altitude Whey Protein (classic line) is the everyday product. It provides only the minimum amount of carbohydrates to complement its protein content and is suitable after low- to moderate-intensity workouts or strength training sessions.
Pro Recovery is the product for intense workouts. It adds about 50 g of high-glycemic-index carbohydrates, designed for use after very intense exercise, when glycogen stores have been heavily depleted. It’s meant for occasional use: after a game, a race, or a very hard workout.

It is whey—that is, whey protein, a fraction of cow’s milk—in a highly concentrated form. Our whey is mechanically filtered (microfiltration and ultrafiltration) at cold temperatures. No heating is involved, which minimizes protein denaturation. Spray-drying takes about one millisecond. The result: a very fine powder.
The main proteins are beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, bovine serum albumin, lactoferrin, and immunoglobulins. They are rich in essential amino acids and BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, valine). These BCAAs play a role in muscle protein synthesis; as a result, bodybuilding was the first field to take an interest in them. It also contains a lot of glutamic acid, from which the body derives glutamine.

They are not certified organic because of the milk. Our ingredients are organic whenever possible (vanilla powder, corn maltodextrin, sugar, cocoa, etc.), which is verified and certified by Ecocert. The milk in our whey isolate, however, is not. We chose a local milk: that from the Union des Producteurs de Beaufort, our partner, sourced from an extensive farming system and the pastures of the Rhône-Alpes region. Organic milk would not have guaranteed us this level of local sourcing.

The right window: within 30 minutes to 2 hours after a very intense workout (game, race, grueling training session). Be mindful of the serving size: one serving is 80 g of powder in 400 ml, which is more than a standard whey protein shake.
Three scenarios. A complete, balanced meal follows immediately after the workout and cannot be delayed: avoid taking Pro Recovery right before, as its appetite-suppressing effect would reduce your appetite for that meal. If you have at least 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes before eating: you can take it; the appetite-suppressing effect should have worn off significantly by then. If your meal is inevitably right after your workout: save Pro Recovery for dessert.
One exception: if your planned meal isn’t very balanced (fast food, pizza, etc.), it’s better to opt for Pro Recovery—even right before—to avoid eating less afterward.

No. There are no added proteins or amino acids. The BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, valine) come from whey, which is naturally rich in them—more so than most plant-based proteins. Cocoa and the other ingredients contribute very little.

This is because proteins foam when they come into contact with a liquid, depending on their purity. Heat intensifies this phenomenon: it alters the arrangement of proteins in water. Many products contain lecithin—often soy lecithin—to prevent this. It’s an emulsifying additive: we don’t use it, nor do we use any processed soy derivatives. A little foam may therefore form. It will disappear on its own.
Our tips: Store the packet in a cool, dry place (cellar, or refrigerator if it’s tightly sealed); this poses no risk to the powder. Add the liquid first, then the powder; mix according to the package instructions.
