SPORT Active Recovery Protein is the most advanced post-activity recovery drink on the market.
This clinically-formulated, clean-ingredient, function-focused nutrition drink uses premium, plant-based nutraceuticals to actively reduce inflammation, mop up free radicals, support muscle growth and increase performance naturally. Key elements of this formulation, designed by a team of clinicians with decades of experience in nutrition and plant-based medicine, include:
1. Up to 30g of clean, complete, plant-based protein
SPORT Active Recovery Protein uses only premium protein isolate, water-extracted from non-GMO peas grown and processed under the strictest EU quality certification protocols. This means no hormones, no antibiotics, no unhealthy pesticide or fertiliser contamination from cultivation, and no toxic chemical or heavy metal residue from extraction. Just clean, complete protein.
It contains all the essential amino acids necessary for healthy tissue growth and repair in a uniquely alkalizing, non-inflammatory and easily assimilated form.
To this we add in additional Taurine, L-Carnitine and L-Glutamine to encourage healthy and sustainable growth in muscle size and performance, making SPORT Active Recovery Protein the most comprehensive and supportive amino acid complex on the market for healthy muscle cell growth and differentiation.
2. BCAAs
Pea protein isolate naturally contains high levels of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) – isoleucine, leucine and valine – necessary for healthy recovery. There is no need for additional BCAAs to get a significant, recovery-boosting dose of this unique family of amino acids. However, if you wish to increase your BCAA intake, consider Phyto Pro Vegan BCAA 2:1:1 Unflavoured or Phyto Pro Instant BCAA Peach.
3. Creatine Monohydrate
We do, however, add in Creatine Monohydrate, the only form of creatine backed up by peer-reviewed science, to support recovery of the nerve-muscle complexes, in preparation for your next activity session. Each serving of SPORT Active Recovery Protein provides you with 500mg of Creatine. If you wish to add more, consider Phyto Pro Creatine Monohydrate or Phyto Pro Creatine Booster.
4. Functional Phytonutrients, Minerals and Vitamins
- Phytonutrients include standardised extracts of:
- Turmeric, to reduce inflammation and power up the immune system,
- Green tea, to boost anti-oxidants,
- Maca root to increase post-exercise hormone activity and
- Black pepper to enhance assimilation of nutrients.
- Highly bioavailable minerals in amino acid chelate form of Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc and Selenium to increase ATP/energy production, tissue repair, muscle activation, collagen and muscle fibre synthesis and fat metabolism.
- Curated B-Vitamin blend, containing Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), Vitamin B7 (biotin) and Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin), to build new tissue, increase red cell count and oxygen levels, support the immune system, boost hormone levels (via zinc-magnesium-B6 complex), burn fat and optimize brain focus and nervous system activation.*
As with all Phyto Pro products, SPORT Active Recovery Protein is a clean-ingredient product, free from any sports-banned substances, and made using only the best quality ingredients found globally.

This is my recovery shake of choice – clean ingredients, effective results and best of all, it works well on my keto diet. What more could a runner ask for?

Your Nutrition insert here says 4 level scoops but your product packaging when purchased says 3 level scoops (40g) – which is the correct one? I’m trying this for the first time and it is extremely powdery to the taste compared to other pea based proteins on the market – I’ve had just had about every one – I purchased as the ingredients interested me

Thanks for the heads up Dylan 🙏🏽 We have corrected the error on the website. The correct serving size is 3 scoops or 40g. The error crept in when we changed from our previous smaller scoop to our current larger scoop.
Re. the texture of our protein, we use a water-extracted pea protein isolate. This does not have any residue of chemicals or heavy metals used in other extraction methods, nor does it contain any artificial flavour or texture enhancers (which are mostly petrochemical in origin). Our focus on clean-ingredient status does lead to differences in texture between our products and others that use chemically-processed pea isolate, but we believe the focus on functionality and “first do no harm” is more important 🌱 Try it for a month and let us know how you feel.

great product and tastes amazing. This recovery, is it batch tested to ensure that it is 100% clean? (I get tested by WADA)

Thanks for the feedback Cathy. To answer your question, we were enrolled in the Informed Sport programme but through Covid this was suspended. We continue to ensure that all our ingredients are free from banned substances and will be restarting the Informed Sport programme for our SPORT range shortly.
