As a professional triathlete, prioritizing recovery is a non-negotiable aspect of my training routine, and the Vega Nighttime Rest & Repair Protein Powder has proven to be a noteworthy addition to my regimen.The blend of 18g vegan plant protein, 3mg melatonin, and magnesium creates a powerful combination that has positively impacted my sleep and recovery. Dealing with nighttime restlessness, I found this product to be a game changer. The carefully crafted protein-to-carbohydrate ratio, coupled with the inclusion of melatonin and magnesium, has significantly improved my sleep quality.While the chocolate strawberry flavor initially took some getting used to, I eventually developed a craving for it every night. The pleasant taste is a welcome bonus to the product's functionality. Not only does it help me fall asleep faster, but it has also proven effective in preventing those midnight wake-ups from disrupting my rest. One notable benefit is that I no longer wake up hungry, translating to sustained energy levels throughout the day.What's particularly remarkable is the impact on my metabolism. The protein's slow-release nature ensures that my metabolism remains active throughout the night, contributing to a leaner feel upon waking up. This has been a positive shift in my overall well-being and performance.In conclusion, the Vega Nighttime Rest & Repair Protein Powder has become an integral part of my recovery routine. Its unique combination of ingredients addresses not only the need for protein intake but also supports a restful night's sleep and sustained energy levels. If you're an athlete or someone seeking an effective recovery solution with added sleep support, this product is certainly worth considering.

This stuff tastes great, it’s not too think, and it doesn’t require too much water for mixing which is helpful since you drink this before bed. Melatonin doesn’t usually help me, but this knocks me out in about 30 minutes. I love it!

This magic powder works well after a long work out. In my case, it is a ritual that I must take it immediately after long runs or cycling rides (3+ hrs) as it helps my system recover. What do I mean by "recover"? After long sessions, my shoulder are a bit stiff, my legs are achy from the effort, and I am just generally tired and tensed up. After drinking Vega, I am simply more relaxed and my muscle stiffness and edginess gradually goes away - just like magic!Prior to Vega, I thought I just needed food so I would just start eating the first thing I could find as if I had just fasted for days. However, this was not helping me as I was just getting my stomach full but not feeling better. Now I realized that my system needs the right balance of protein and carbs to help me recover - and only after recovered that I am able to actually digest other food. So, this recovery drink actually buys me time (30-40 min) to drive home and clean up before I have to eat a proper meal.One of the biggest reason why I use Vega is because my system does not handle whey protein very well. At this time, Vega is the only recovery drink I could find without whey protein. No, I am not vegetarian if you were wondering. There are many recovery drinks out there, but Vega is the only one that works for me. This is highly personal, but I find the flavor to be very good and refreshing. Friends who tried my recovery drink actually liked the taste too, and indicated that it is not as chalky or very sweet like the recovery drinks that they take.As other reviewers indicated, mixing the powder with cold water (or w/ ice) is a little tricky. What I like to do is mix the Vega powder with room temp. water in a glass bottle (make sure it is 1/3 empty) and put the bottle in the freezer. The next morning, it is a solid block of ice and it slowly melts to a nice cold drink by the time I need it 4-5 hrs later. I use only one scoop after my long sessions, but do what works for you.

I've been using this for a little more than 6 months and I saw a huge difference in how much it improved my post-workout soreness. My knees don't feel as tight and uncomfortable when I'm sitting with bent knees on the couch as much as they did before. HOWEVER, how did the price jump from like 32 bucks to almost 50?! If you look online, that is NOT what other vendors are charging for it. I had this on my autoship, but even with the autoship discount, I'm paying way more on here than I would at other sites. It also keeps delaying my shipment, so I haven't actually received any in like 3 months now. I don't know what the deal is, but my review of the actual product is 4-5 stars, but my review of the vendor of this product is more like 1 star.

Not the best taste but in terms of real ingredients - I’ve not found a match for the price. I buy it repeatedly. Recommended.

I don't know what everyone is talking about complaining about the taste. I think it tastes really good actually. It is slightly chalky but overall I think it's very refreshing after a work out. The ingredients make sense in theory, but I'm not sure it's one of those things you're going to really notice if you take it or not. Brendan Brazier knows his stuff and has a very informative book so I decided to give this a try. He explains in his book that the muscles are really craving carbohydrates after a workout. Conventional wisdom for me was to have a massive, calorie-filled protein shake after a workout but it's actually not the best way to go. Brazier explains that when you do this, you pull nutritious blood from your muscles (pump) to your stomach to digest what you just consumed. I tend to take this is an easy way to get carbs & electrolytes and have a nice big meal on hour later. I'm not sure if this is worth the cost or not but his book definitely is

I really love the Vega products because they are organic, vegan friendly and they do work without being gene manipulated or full or chemicals. If you do work out and do your body something good, you should also eat supplements that are good and healthy, not destroy the workout effort with those cheap chemical supps on the market. Great product and a must have if you work out.I trained with and without and when I use it, I do notice a real different, I do recover fast, muscle pain is noticeable less and I feel very little exhauste. It has a really good taste, it's easy to handle (it also comes in little sachets). You have to stirr a bit so that it disolves properly but that doesn't impair its value.The price is justified. I rather pay a little more but knowing I put a healthy supplement into my body.

This is pretty good stuff. I notice a real difference when I use it (less sore and/or tired after an intense workout) I love not feeling that 'down' afterwards when I push it up a notch. I would recommend. Flavour is pretty good too, very tolerable as often it is difficult to get a decent taste in something that is doing so much.

Best thing ever! I can't remember what doms feel like anymore. This is perfect for people who workout a lot during the week. Apply Berry taste is great.

with the recovery accelerator, taste is not essential to me. After hockey i could drink literally any fluid and appreciate it. This is lovely for post workout recovery, doesnt satisfy the pallet like tropical flavour but does the specified job

I have this with Terra Nova Life Drink, Miracle Matcha powder and coconut water after my P90X/X3 workouts to re-energise and lessen the DOMS
