What is Amplified Recovery Protein XR™?
The protein that you have always wanted, but just didn't know it...until now! Amplified Recovery Protein XR™, the ultimate in Xtended Release formulas, is the ideal post-workout blend packed with both fast and slow proteins you need to optimally fuel and support muscle repair after every intense training session. Suitable for every athlete, the distinct protein composition targets two key actions of muscular activity: anabolism and recovery. Whether it's weight training or aerobic endurance, strenuous workouts cause damage to muscle tissue, so what you need is a protein that will help set the stage for quality repair and support for your muscles, and here it is! A dual action, extended release energy source that combines a fast-acting blend of technology-enhanced whey protein with slower-acting quality casein for long lasting muscle fuel. The unique form of whey protein is proven to deliver key amino acids into your blood better and faster than ordinary whey protein. With this faster-absorbing protein, you also get 142% faster absorption of BCAA into the blood stream, which can be taken up by your skeletal muscle where they may help preserve glycogen stores and reduce protein breakdown. Micronized protein and aminos are the solution to immediate fuel source that lasts up to a few hours, but the muscle refueling doesn't stop there. Then, waxy maize is used for rapid glycogen store replenishment, a critical muscle recovery component. Lastly, casein is included to provide a slow-digesting, sustained supply of amino acids over 7 hours that can help to significantly decrease protein breakdown. This crucial 25 gram whey and casein combination with 18 grams of waxy maize is designed to keep your muscles out of a catabolic state while continually delivering amino acids necessary to fuel muscles. Get full muscle coverage with Amplified Recovery Protein XR™ - the protein and carb formula with the right balance to support muscle recovery and anabolism immediately after workouts, even hours later.
The Amplified Recovery Protein XR™ Evolution
AMPlified to support and enhance metabolic phases of muscle activity and here's how: using cutting-edge technology and scientific research and expertise, this unique formulation was designed to be the ultimate protein for recovery support.
Micronized Protein and Amino Acids – This premium protein blend features micronized whey protein and leucine! Using MicroSorb™ Amino Technology, whey protein and amino acids in this formula have been pulverized into smaller particles that are easier to absorb. As a result, Amplified Recovery Protein XR™ is proven to deliver superior amino acid uptake compared to regular whey. That means more amino acids are available for your muscles to use as fuel! These vital amino acids all support proteins involved in muscle building, recovery and other processes crucial to your muscles.- Waxy Maize – Serves as a carbohydrate source to replace glycogen stores during the recovery process, helping to make sure that energy is ready and available to burn for your next intense workout.
- Casein – This slow digesting protein increases blood amino acids at a much slower and steadier rate giving you the most favorable environment for proper repair of your muscles over a longer time frame.

Rice Protein
Rice Protein- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
Used for Amount Why AtherosclerosisRefer to label instructions
[1 star] Though not yet proven in clinical research, animal studies suggest that rice protein-based diets result in less buildup of atherosclerotic plaque compared with animal protein-based diets.
Athletic PerformanceRefer to label instructions
[1 star] Some athletes believe rice protein may also improve blood flow to muscle to enhance growth and repair. However, no research has investigated the effects of rice protein on athletic performance.
ObesityRefer to label instructions
[1 star] Dieters who are gluten or dairy sensitive and looking to supplement protein might consider rice protein, though its actual benefits for weight loss have not been studied.
Rice protein is extracted from rice and used in some protein supplements. Vegetarians may prefer it over protein supplements made from animal sources (such as whey or casein, which are milk proteins). Since rice is rarely involved in food allergies,1 rice protein may also be preferred by people with food allergies, and may be suitable to use in hypoallergenic infant formulas.2 Rice protein is not a complete protein, however, due to insufficient levels of the amino acids lysine and threonine.3, 4 Therefore, these amino acids are often added to rice protein products to correct this imbalance.

Comments about GNC Pro Performance® AMP Amplified Recovery Protein XR™- Chocolate:
I've used the chocolate flavor many times before and it is great after a workout or with my oatmeal in the morning. However, I do add a scoop of amp wheyobolic extreme 60 to get 20 more grams of high quality protein. What is even better, try vanilla recovery protein xr with 1 scoop of fruit punch amp wheyobolic extreme 60. WOWIE. DELISH!

Comments about GNC Pro Performance® AMP Amplified Recovery Protein XR™- Chocolate:
This stuff is really good! I have been using it for almost 2 years. Unfortunately the container I just bought doesnt taste as good as it used to. My husband purchased a container too (he is overseas right now) and his wasn't as good either. So I am guessing that GNC changed the taste, which definitely isnt as good as before. So please GNC, change it back!!
