    Endurox R4 really works! As a marathoner, I have used Endurox successfully as a recovery drink for years. It enables me to recover much faster and better after a long training run. Great stuff!

    Comments about Pacific Health Labs Endurox R4 - 28 Servings Nutrition:

    After 20 years of running, I can truly say this is the best stuff for recovery; I drink one scoop in a small glass, so it is very concentrated and the next day no matter how hard or far I ran the day before, there are no sore muscles. Imagine that a product that actually works and does what claims.

      Comments about Pacific Health Labs Endurox R4 - 28 Servings Nutrition:

      I used to use Endurox R4 a few years ago and had trouble with it not mixing well, leaving chunks of the mix to have to basically eat. I also didn't like the overly sweet flavor it had. After a while I'd get sick of the sweetness.

      Well, they've come a long way. I got the new chocolate flavor. It mixes way easy, tastes great, and is easy on the stomach. It's not too overly sweet like they used to be (it doesn't taste like you're drinking pure sugar). They've decreased the amount of vitamin E and ensured all natural ingredients. This is what I've been waiting for for years from Pacific Labs. I think they listened.

        Comments about Pacific Health Labs Endurox R4 - 28 Servings Nutrition:

        Like this product. I take it dry in a sports bottle and add H2O right after a long run. It's milk-based, so I don't have to worry about keeping it cold in the car (in summer). I like the product, but it doesn't mix with the water completely. A lot of product floats on top and sticks to the bottom and sides of the glass or container. I still use it, though.

            Definetly helps muscle recovery. Can take portion with you to mix with water after your run.
            Good taste not chalky.

            Within last year formula was changed lowering Vitamin E content. This is good because as a cancer survivor my oncologist informed me that over use of Vitamin E is shown to increase mortality rate. However this may have decreased the product's ability to dissolve as well as it should.

                    I use R4 after every hard workout or run over a hour.It really seems to help recovery. As a 58 year old I need all the help that I can get recovering and this works. It is a little pricey
                    but worth it to me.

                    Have been using vanilla formula for several years - and I raved to my friends that it really made a recovery difference. My last bottle (bought late in 2008) has changed the taste - less sweet, more bland - though the effects still seem the same. PHL: change the formula back!!!

                    I would have taken the old Lemon Lime formula to my grave with me and I am only 36. Yet the new formula has me looking elsewhere as it doesn't not mix well unless you blend it I don't feel mentally there for several hours as I did right away with the old formula. Why change a good product? :-(

                    Been using this recovery product for years for both training and for expedition moutaineering. Always look forward to it at the end of a hard day.

                    My only complaint is the packaging - kncking a star off for that. Like so many of these products, the continer comes only 40-50% full - not a green product at all. Would try a new reduced-packaging; until then no need to switch.

                        I've just gotten back onto the bike after a long hiatus, so a lot of my rides are once again "Firsts", as in first 60 miler, first big hill day. Drinking the Chocolate Endurox within 30mins after the ride has been a lifesaver. The real serious pain I've had in my muscles from overworking goes away within 10-15 minutes after consumption. It takes the edge off of my hungry stomach also.
                        Cannot recommend this enough as a recovery drink.
                        And the chocolate tastes great.

                          I've tried several recovery drinks (FRS and Heed among others) and have found Endurox R4 works the best for recovery. I experience less soreness and less fatigue in a workout the following day after drinking it. The taste is great (as least orange is!) and it's got a 4:1 carb/protein ratio which is an added bonus and something you can't find in other recovery drinks. I've heard others comment that it doesn't mix easily. Okay, so stir a little more! Simply put, it's the best.

                          This is great drink and highly recommend it, good balance of refuel and recovery. With recent change in my life (kid), I can not lift weight anymore, and only have time to run. I immedeiately lost so much weight and couldn't sustain it. But I didn't want those high protein drinks, because I still want recovery from run. I talked to the RRS's CS, and this was recommended. Though it is meant for over 1 hour of work out, and I only work out 30~50 min max, yet, I noticed the difference. I recover faster and have more energy after run. I just wish they make it in travel pack, or better, a small tablet so I can bring on the road!

                                          Endurox R4 really works! As a marathoner, I have used Endurox successfully as a recovery drink for years. It enables me to recover much faster and better after a long training run. Great stuff!

                                          Have been using vanilla formula for several years - and I raved to my friends that it really made a recovery difference. My last bottle (bought late in 2008) has changed the taste - less sweet, more bland - though the effects still seem the same. PHL: change the formula back!!!

                                          After 20 years of running, I can truly say this is the best stuff for recovery; I drink one scoop in a small glass, so it is very concentrated and the next day no matter how hard or far I ran the day before, there are no sore muscles. Imagine that a product that actually works and does what claims.

                                          I would have taken the old Lemon Lime formula to my grave with me and I am only 36. Yet the new formula has me looking elsewhere as it doesn't not mix well unless you blend it I don't feel mentally there for several hours as I did right away with the old formula. Why change a good product? :-(

                                          Awesome stuff. I couldn't make it through marathon training without it. Tastes nearly identical to any other vanilla-flavored powder drink I have tried. Very convenient to mix with water immediately after a run.

                                          This really has helped my recoveries (accompanied by stretching and icing or course). I agree with previous reviewer: After my 20-mile long runs, I felt very good after incorporating Endurox into my recovery regimen. I like the vanilla, but if you don't use enough, it does taste a bit thin.

                                          I am in training now since this past May for the NYC marathon this November, 07. I have been using this drink 30 minutes after a run....it works. Not only does it work, it replenishes beyond any other sports drink. Also with the necessary stretching and cross training the next day I felt great after a 20 mile training run. Go for it!

                                          This stuff was priceless for me out in Iraq. After carrying 50+ pounds of gear for hours on end I wouldn't end the day without a glass of this. I woke up every following morning feeling like a million bucks. The fruit punch mixed with a 12oz juice is heaven.

                                          The vanilla flavor is awfull. Otherwise, I can't honestly say how this stuff works because I can't get past the taste.

                                          I drink the chocolate flavored Endurox post workout, and it makes a big difference in how sore I feel the next day (a tip: one scoop is sufficient for me, and it makes my jug last a little longer).

I am training for my first marathon and this product gives my body everything I need to replenish, I feel great. I place it in my blender with soymilk, fruit juice, fresh fruit and ice and man o man what a treat. even my finicky husband likes the taste!!!

                                          This has been a great way for me to refuel after a long workout. I can't get all the good stuff this has in it from regular food 15-30 minutes after a long workout, when it is means the most. This has a high protein to carb ratio and lots of minerals. Fruit punch tastes a little like stawberry Quick...if you can remember that.
