Is whey protein the same as the recovery formula for P90X?!


Question: Is whey protein the same as the recovery formula for P90X?
I'm about to start the P90X workout. I'm trying to save a little money on the supplements suggested. I already planned on getting a non-name brand multivitamin, but for the recovery formula is it the same as whey protein I could buy at a walmart? If not does anyone have any suggestions on what supplements I should buy for P90X? (I'm on a college student budget by the way)

Answers:

I DO NOT recommend the P90X recovery drink. It's mostly marketing, and the ingredients are not the best (concentrates, instead of isolates) AND it's VERY overpriced.

You also don't need "whey" proteins with P90x. You would do better with an Egg, or Casein protein, or protein blend.

However - If you want Whey (for whatever your reasoning) - Optimum Nutrition Whey Gold Standard.

If you want an athletic shake (since P90x is an athletic workout) - I recommend Muscle Milk. Just don't buy the pre-mixed stuff because it contains soy milk (makes loosing your belly fat even harder).

Don't worry about the fat content in either. Fat doesn't make you fat. Excessive calories and premature insulin spikes does that. With hard workouts - you require lots of calories.

Also buy online - The cheapest ive found is http://www.supplementwarehouse.com.



The P90X recovery drink, and Whey protein are different. If you want to try the P90X recovery drink they have the older formula on clearance, and it's cheaper than most other brand name recovery drinks. I believe they just have sample packets left, but it's a 30 day supply.

The newer forumula used dextrose instead of fructose (I believe). I also hear the new one doesn't taste as well.

From the link below, check out the clearance tab on the left hand side.
