Rapid recovery is paramount to accelerate improvements in performance after training or racing.

Complete repair and restoration of muscle fuel stores ensures intense training sessions can be performed, without any drop off in quality.

ZipVit recovery products form the core of the Cervelo Test Team post race nutrition program and are the very first thing riders go for after racing. The ZV3 Recovery Drink Rapide and ZV4 Recovery Drink Muscle Manager are by far the most popular choice. Both ZV3 and ZV4 contain a combination of the highest quality fast digesting ingredients, which simply aren’t found in other products. These include colostrum, whey hydrolysates and a special combination of carbohydrates for fast digestion and refueling.

In hot weather ZipVit ZV3 and ZV4 recovery drinks are often followed by a bowl or two of Cervelo’s fruit salad an hour later. Made by senior soigneur Igor Diez Pereda, this has attained legendary status in the team and is a favourite of Carlos Sastre. Despite its apparently simple make up it provides a range of fast and slow digesting carbohydrates, with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. This helps continue the rapid muscle refueling and repair provided by performance ingredients in ZipVit’s ZV3, ZV4 and ZV6 recovery drinks and ZipVit’s ZV9 Protein/Energy bars.
