Abstract: Preferred embodiments of the present invention relate to exercise performance and recovery formulations. The exercise performance formulation, according to some embodiments, can be used in sports drinks to enhance endurance and decrease muscle recovery time, thereby improving performance. In other embodiments, the exercise recovery formulation, which can also be used in sports drinks, optimizes recovery from exercise, stimulates muscle glycogen repletion, tissue repair and protein synthesis, and enhances the rate of training adaptation. A dual formulation system comprising both the performance and recovery formulations is also provided.
