Ascent, a wholly owned subsidiary of Leprino Foods, launched Recovery Water, a water-based beverage that pairs high-quality protein with electrolytes to help athletes optimally recover post-workout, it says. Made using the company's proprietary native whey protein formulation process, Ascent Recovery Water combines both form and function to deliver muscle recovery and hydration, it adds. Ascent Recovery Water contains 20 grams of fast-digesting native whey protein and 2.5 grams of naturally occurring leucine to trigger muscle protein synthesis. It contains 100 calories and zero artificial ingredients. Consistent with the Ascent product line, Recovery Water is gluten free, soy free, rBST/rBGH Free and Informed Choice Certified, meaning Ascent is third-party tested for banned substances. Ascent Recovery Water is available now in Watermelon and Pineapple Coconut flavors at ascentprotein.com, amazon.com, and vitaminshoppe.com, with expanded national distribution this spring at Kroger and Albertson's.
