Pro recovery strawberry flavor

Mainly because of their carbohydrate content. The protein content is comparable, since all Protéalpes recovery products are standardized to approximately 23 g of protein per serving.
Altitude Whey Protein (classic line) is designed for daily consumption: the protein is accompanied by the minimum amount of carbohydrates necessary to complement it. It is suitable for post-workout recovery after low- to moderate-intensity activities and strength training.
Pro Recovery provides, in addition to the same amount of protein, approximately 50 g of high-glycemic-index carbohydrates. It is intended for use after very intense workouts, characterized by a sharp drop in glycogen stores, and is therefore meant for occasional use: at the end of a game, race, or particularly demanding workout.

The term refers to a highly concentrated form of whey proteins, a fraction of cow’s milk. At Protéalpes, this concentration is achieved through microfiltration and ultrafiltration, two mechanical techniques performed at cold temperatures without heat treatment, which minimizes protein denaturation. Spray-drying, which is virtually instantaneous (on the order of milliseconds), then produces a powder with very fine particle size.
Five proteins predominate: beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin, bovine serum albumin, lactoferrin, and immunoglobulins. Their profile, rich in essential amino acids and BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, valine)—the latter of which play a role in muscle protein synthesis—explains the early adoption of these products in bodybuilding. Glutamic acid (glutamate), a precursor to glutamine, is also abundant in these products.

The ingredients are, as much as possible, sourced from organic farming (sugar, cocoa, vanilla powder, corn maltodextrin, etc.) and, as such, are inspected and certified by Ecocert. However, the milk used to produce the whey isolate is not certified organic. Priority was given to local milk, collected in the Rhône-Alpes region from the Union des Producteurs de Beaufort—a partner of Protéalpes—whose extensive farming system relies on pasture grazing, rather than to organic milk, for which local sourcing could not have been guaranteed.

It should be taken after exercise, especially following a very intense session (game, race, particularly demanding workout), preferably within 30 minutes to 2 hours. Since a single serving is larger than that of a standard whey protein (80 g of powder per 400 ml), you should consider when to take it in relation to a meal.
When a complete, balanced meal is planned immediately after exercise and cannot be postponed, it is best not to consume Pro Recovery right before the meal, so that its appetite-suppressing effect does not reduce the size of that meal. Taking it before the meal is still possible if an interval of at least 1 hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes is observed, as the appetite-suppressing effect should then be significantly reduced. If a meal must follow exercise, Pro Recovery can also be taken as a dessert.
These recommendations apply to a complete, balanced meal. When faced with a meal of lower nutritional quality (fast food, pizza, etc.), Pro Recovery should still be prioritized—even if taken just before the meal—at the expense of a lighter meal.

No additional protein or amino acids are added. Most of the amino acids come from whey powder, which is naturally rich in BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, valine) at levels higher than those found in most plant-based proteins. The other ingredients, such as cocoa, provide only a negligible amount.

When reconstituted in a liquid, proteins naturally form foam, to an extent that depends on their purity; heat intensifies this phenomenon by disrupting the interactions between proteins and water molecules. Many products use lecithin—usually soy lecithin—to limit this foaming. Lecithin is an emulsifying additive that is excluded from Protéalpes recipes, as are other processed soy-derived ingredients. A temporary, harmless foam may therefore form after vigorous mixing.
To minimize this, it is recommended to store the packet in a cool, dry place (such as a cellar or even the refrigerator, provided it is sealed tightly), which will not affect the quality of the powder. When preparing the product, pour the liquid first, then add the powder, and mix according to the instructions on the package.
