This recovery powder is good, but not perfect. Let's look at a breakdown of the formulation:300mg Cyracos lemon Balm Extract: This is a therapeutic dose. I have taken a lot of Cyracos before in capsule form, and it is very favorite supplement for sleep and anxiety. This is probably the most important ingredient in this recovery powder, and what is giving the majority of the benefits.500mg Vitacherry: 500mg tart cherry powder (not extract) isn't a large enough dosage to get anti-inflammatory benefits or improve sleep quality. This probably isn't doing anything for your recovery. It's like the equivalent of eating 1 or 2 tart cherries.1000mg Peak02 mushroom complex: A clinically studied mushroom extract, with standard dosages ranging from 1.5 to 12 grams. The 1000mg in this recovery powder is definitely on the low end, but it might be enough to have some effects on energy and oxygen consumption.Taste:The taste is actually pretty good. Once you get the powder dissolved fully, it is a nice blend of sour and sweet, and tastes pretty natural. There is a little monk fruit/stevia kind of flavor, but the sourness really helps cover it up.Takeaway:Good quality ingredients, tasty functional drink, but this really isn't a research based "recovery" drink and probably won't help you recover faster from your workouts. The Cyracos lemon balm extract is great though, I always sleep soundly after taking it and it's been shown benefits for a number of things beyond just sleep quality - reduced anxiety, better stress responses, even improved memory.

TL:DR:Pros: Great taste, Delivers a great blend of the right stuff baby!Cons: None reallyIf you know why you're getting this then you'll be glad to know it works well in all departments when these ingredients are concerned. So, in terms of active ingredients and potency and delivering good vibes and the right feelings/effects, they are bang on!As for the flavor...it's delicious! It tastes so good as it is, if you like lemony sweetie things, you'll love the flavor of this product. It makes things like the cordyceps more palatable if the earthy chocolatiness of cordyceps is too much, this tames it nicely and makes the LM taste great as well! A True Winner! I'm so happy to have tried this as a sample, I will be back to buy! Read more

I've tried several "Naked" products in the past and they've always been high quality. This recovery drink is no different, as it's vegan and contains a beneficial mushroom blend and other ingredients. Some people may have qualms with the 3 grams of added sugar (for a total of 4), but I personally didn't find the drink too sweet.Speaking of the flavor, the best way I can describe it is lemonade with a bit of cherry and more than a bit of crushed-up kids vitamins flavor. It's slightly mineral, but not in a bad way, it's just unique compared to most recovery (or hydration) drinks. I suspect it's because the mushrooms by themselves are quite earthy, so that combined with some of the other ingredients gives it a unique (but to me, not off putting) flavor. As for mixing, it blends well with anything, even a glass of water, and if you mix it with something else (like a smoothie with other fruit) you don't even notice some of the flavors I was mentioning. At $1 a serving, it's a bit on the pricey side, but high quality ingredients simply run a bit more.As an aside, I have to say that the packaging of this product is pretty frustrating. The contrast level with regards to the content (type) and and background is incredibly non-accessible, and even as a person with decent vision it's almost impossible to read. Companies in general need to think more about making their packaging accessible, and this is a prime example of how NOT to do it. Read more

This product contains six adaptogenic mushrooms, including lion's mane, reishi, and cordyceps, as well as tart cherry extract and lemon balm extract. It's marketed as useful for post-workout muscle recovery, and tart cherry at least is thought to promote that. I'm more interested in the inflammation-fighting and immunity-promoting benefits of adaptogenic mushrooms as well as tart cherry.The manufacturer suggests mixing the powder with water, and has added coconut sugar and monk fruit extract to make it more palatable. I prefer to toss some into my yoghurt. It's really very sweet, though--about as sweet as sugar--so take that into account when you decide how to ingest it. (Personally, I'd prefer that it didn't include sugar, since I don't consider that useful for my health in any way, and it's sweeter than I'd like.) As with most supplements, I'm reluctant to declare that I can feel this one's benefits, but the ingredients' value is supported by studies. Read more

Initially when I opened it, it smelled so amazing! I just wanted to lick the tub! When I mixed it with my water it tasted kind of like a tea. It's not a bad taste it was just not what I expected.I love the natural ingredients in this recovery drink. I have been getting back in to my workouts and without a recovery drink I have noticed that I am more sore and for longer periods of time. When I started taking Naked recovery I noticed a significant difference not only in my muscle recovery time, but also my mood. Because its natural I feel so much better about drinking it versus some of the other recovery drink I have had in the past.All in all this product makes me feel better post workout and throughout the day. I will be purchasing again! Read more
