Wiggle nutrition

...seems remarkably cheap and gets pretty good reviews on their site.

The test for me is if BR forumites like it... ?

I'm looking at nutrition/recovery powder at the moment and ventured back here to see what the favoured supplements were... ATM its between wiggles own, Torq or Osmo (http://www.wiggle.com/osmo-acute-recove ... -servings/)

I just got a box of 20, thought I'd try them out.

Quite a pleasant taste, nicer than High 5 I would say. Call it 8/10 against 7/10.

My favourite is still Torq, 9/10, but they're much more pricey. (Save them for special occasions!)

They're ok. I find High 5 gels seem a little more "filling". Im sure they do work, but i feel i noticed more of an effect from other brands.

The energy tabs are pretty average. Again, im sure they do something, but after my current batch ill be back to high 5 and Nectar.

i have the powder, to be honest its not great, the taste is good but I'm not sure that i can feel any effect while riding. i was hoping it would be ok since so cheap but i think you get what you pay for in all honesty

High5 4-in-1 has 35g of carbs per portion and 9g of protein. Wiggle's has 44g of carbs and 0g of protein.

that explains that then! ply sit seems to stain my high 5 bottles which is a bit dubious

What effect are you expecting to feel?

Someone 'proper' must be making it for them?

Ignore the graphics, a lot of the packaging looks like SIS anyway.

But still for recovery , nothing beats SIS from Tesco in the UK

Personally I've found these to be excellent on the bike, and the packaging is biodegradable too!



Then my personal choice for hydration is this crazy stuff - pretty easy on the wallet too



And for recovery, despite trying most things from the market there's 2 products which I find do the job best;





And maybe even some more of these!



Couldn't resist

Oh Luke you tease!

To be fair I enjoy milk post ride.

there's not much info on the product really, what about this http://www.naturesbest.co.uk/sports/whe ... vour-p353/
Detailed breakdown of the product, a kilo for £20 and i know this flavour tastes nice. Mixes easily too...
