Me thinks this might be bad science, especially when they are coming up with a gross number benefit like 60%. That's just too huge to be credible.

Recovery needs light exercise, perhaps a low-dose aspirin for any inflamation. Protein may help, but in the context of a real meal.

One more thing about chocolate milk. If you are using Hershey's syrup for the 'chocolate' part of your chocolate milk you are consuming a ton of high fructose corn syrup. Nothing short of bathing in nuclear waste could be worse for you than hfc.

did anyone say stretch a lot ?
stretch in the morning, in the evening, and before a ride. after a ride is good too.
stand up, lean on a wall
grab your right foot behind your ass with your left hand and
stretch and hold it for a while. do the other. repeat.
works for me (along with other nutritional and warmup/spin recommendations)

Doc, I have some good research somewhere that is not junk science talking about glutamine in recovery - particularly in relation to DOMS. If you want, I will find it for you. Having said that, a complete protein with quantities of glutamine should be less expensive.

Endurox.
Drink it as soon as you can right after your ride.
That stuff works wonders. Tastes pretty good too.

I think Endurox is disgusting but in my experimentation with it I have to say that I believe it works. I am not convinced yet if it's somewhat of a placebo but weather it is or is not I think I felt better the next day. It's too expensive for me to use it now though and other stuff like chocolate milk work as well so I don't get it any more. It is really easy to travel with and I used to always pound down a glass of it after a race.

Raisins or prunes for potassium.
Egg beaters (egg whites) for protein.
For some reason I do not like the taste of mixing them together

Vino,
On the 60% being a huge figure deal. When they do these studies they usualy define the "warm-up" of the to-exhaustion test to be about a minute before the first patient fatigues. This scews the numbers terribly so that a 2% overall gain in time to fatigue comes out as a 100% gain in thier reporting.
This kind of scewed study is what gives the "gatorade is so many hundred percent better than water" statements.
