ZipVit ZV3 Lack of Farting??

NWLondoner

I usually use SIS Rego for post rides. However one side effect is that it makes me fart really badly for the rest of the day :oops:

I have been tempted to buy the ZV3 Recovery but at £44 its quite pricey.

Has anyone else here used both products and not had the farting issues with ZV3?

Pigeons in flight

I would be interested to hear also. I also guff like a trooper after consuming most SIS products!

it might be the maltodextrin, afaik it can cause bloating/flatulence in some people

if it is that, then zv3 also contains it, as does high5 recovery, it's a very common carb in this type of product

you could try this, it doesn't contain maltodextrin...

...haven't tried it myself, so can't comment on the taste!

btw you could always do a diy mix, it's the cheapest way, some carbs, some whey isolate, cocoa powder etc., there are recipes online

Vanilla Rego is really bad for this (I don't recall chocolate flavour being bad).

Neither MyProtein's Recovery XS nor CNP ProRecover give me any problems.

Not personally tried ZV3.

not sure that I would want to either after these endorsements!

I've generally found Torq products to be a fart free zone.

A sniff of SIS on the other hand leaves me chuffing like a steam engine.

I smell worse than my dog after taking any protein supplements!

There all the same

Where is my lighter! ha ha!

This thread made me laugh
Sorry chaps but a fart is always amusing - unless the fartee is sat on your head - remembers cruel older brother ribbing :oops:

I've found the stuff here to be pretty good www.bikefood.co.uk - its sold as being all natural. I find the berry drink really nice, I've always found SIS stuff really sickly and its for pre, during and post rides so only need one tub at a time.
