Awesome!
Fab flavour, no issues with my belly like other gels, feels like i recover way quicker when using them! Bravo!
Matt Herd
As an Oder runner, 75, it seemed to take longer recovering but since trying the Crux recovery gel it is definitely improving.
Philip Price
I take these gels after my mma sessions, they taste great and are really easy to consume - I recover much better after taking these!

Unlock your body's potential
Designed for the load you put on it
Training doesn’t just stress muscles – it loads your joints, tendons and connective tissue.
Crux Nutrition – Recover is designed for athletes who train often and want to come back stronger.
Crux Recover is built for athletes who train frequently and place repeated load on their bodies — not just once, but session after session.
It helps your body handle ongoing stress so you can recover well enough to train again, rather than simply pushing through fatigue.
Use it before, during, or after training as part of your normal routine — whether you’re climbing, running, cycling, lifting, or training hard in the gym.

How to use:
- Take 1 gel after 1–2 hours of training
- Up to 4 gels per session
- If desired, pair with carb gels to hit 60–90g carbs/hour
