I'll bet what I'm doing ultimately derives from studies like this.
Good thing my recovery drinks are tasty and that I'd drink them even if I weren't trying to recover.
I knew the studies weren't exactly what you were looking for. I just figured the dosages used in those papers would be a good starting point. As you noted, they were probably carefully chosen based on past work.
