Protein for hikers

On the trail, Recov is a complete protein that packs as one 180-tablet bottle. It carries all 20 amino acids in dry tablets, with no powder to decant, no shaker to clean and nothing that needs a fridge.

Your whole bloodstream carries only 2–3g of amino acids at any moment. Six tablets of Recov deliver roughly that entire amount, already broken down into small peptides your body absorbs directly.

Common questions

How many should I pack?

At the everyday level of 6 a day, one bottle covers about 30 days. At the training level of 8–12 a day, a bottle covers about 15–22 days.

Do I still need real food?

Yes. Recov is a protein supplement, not a meal. Pack proper food and use Recov to top up your protein.

How much protein should I aim for?

The International Society of Sports Nutrition recommends 1.4–2.0 g of protein per kilogram of body weight a day for most people who exercise, spread across the day.

What's in it?

Pre-digested plasma protein with all 20 amino acids. Recov has no flavours, sweeteners or colours, so there is nothing to taste. Recov is made from porcine (pig) plasma protein, so it isn't suitable for vegans or vegetarians, for halal or kosher diets, or for anyone with a mammalian meat allergy.

What does it cost?

A 180-tablet bottle is $119.95 as a one-time order, or from $79.95 a bottle on Subscribe & save, which takes up to 33% off. Shipping is free Australia-wide on orders over $99, and you can pause or cancel a subscription anytime.
