Has anyone else noticed the price hike from Zipvit on their 1.4kg Recovery Rapide ZV3, from £34.99 to £49.99? Real shame as I loved that stuff and £34.99 was pushing it when they raised the price a year or so ago from £29.99, but a £15 rise is a no go.
As such I've been looking around for a replacement and found SIS REGO Recovery, cracking stuff and only around £25 for 1.6kg.
Must admit will still use Zipvit for their energy drink, hoping that doesn’t start going through the roof price wise too.

I like Rego, but I reckon milkshake is pretty much the same too !0

Yep I noticed the price hike the other week.
Quite ridiculous to go from £35 to £50. It's good stuff but not £50 good stuff.
Did email them about the price hike & funnily enough they didn't email back.
Their 'free' trail box is now £9.99
Will still use their energy drink as I find that very palatable & ok value at £16 but will keep an eye on price.
I understand that ZipVit is doing well in these hard times so I'm thinking they've just decided to join Rip Off Britain.0 -

Maybe Zipvit are preparing for a 50% off sale... however they will need to advertise at the higher price for 28 days before they can.2013 Focus Izalco Pro 2.0 UDi2

Very good value for money. They sell gels, post ride recovery protein shakes and more. I've used them for years.0 -

After one of their previous price hikes I emailed them and received the below response.
"The products are different in formula to our competition
I would suggest that you buy the cheaper products if you are on a budget"

This Zipvit product contains mainly maltodextrine (complex carbohydrate) and whey protein
Also some electrolytes, vitamin a,c,e and d, l- glutamine...see for yourself on the label:

Personally I don't like many SIS products, including Rego, as they contain aspartame
I think you can see that they are pretty similar. As someone mentioned above, you could get a similar product even cheaper from www.myprotein.co.uk, like Recovery XS

I use the Recovery XS myself - it's good quality and well priced. It mixes well in a protein shaker with water as well.0
