Recovery+ FAQ — Straight Answers
Recovery+ · Straight Answers
Every answer starts with the answer.
If you want the full system in one read, start with the Recovery+ Protocol. What's inside the cans and why: the ingredients page. The research: the science page.
01
The product
What is Recovery+?
Recovery+ is India's first AM/PM recovery drink system, two different carbonated formulas, one for the morning and one for the night. ELXR AM carries 20g protein with caffeine + L-theanine for calm focus; ELXR PM carries 20g protein with 2.5g glycine and zero caffeine. Both are zero sugar, lab-tested.
Is the 20g protein all whey isolate?
It's 20g total protein, clear whey protein isolate plus a supporting amino acid matrix, counted together. The isolate itself is the highest grade whey is sold in, over 90% protein by dry weight, and the finished can carries zero fat, lab-tested. We state it on that basis everywhere, including the can, so the number you read is the number you get.
Is it really zero sugar?
Yes, lab-tested zero, in both cans. Sweetness comes from sucralose and acesulfame-K, within FSSAI limits.
What does it taste like?
Clear, carbonated and lightly tart, closer to a fruit soda than a milkshake, with no milky or chalky protein texture. We wrote an honest full description on the taste page, without naming the flavour, which stays sealed until Batch 001 opens.
02
Safety, and who should check first
Most brands bury this part. If Recovery+ isn't right for you, better you know before you pay.
Who should skip the AM can?
Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, and anyone under 18, the AM can contains caffeine and ashwagandha root extract, and those are the standard, sensible exclusions. The PM can during pregnancy: ask your physician first.
I have a kidney condition, can I drink this?
Check with your nephrologist first. Each can carries 20g protein, which is a meaningful share of a protein-restricted day's budget. If you're managing kidney disease, your doctor's word beats ours.
I'm lactose intolerant, is this a problem?
No. Lactose intolerance is written in the genes, most Indian adults naturally stop making lactase after childhood, which is why milky protein drinks sit heavy. Each can carries less than a tenth of a gram of lactose, versus around 12g in a glass of milk. That makes Recovery+ lactose-intolerance-friendly. Lactose intolerance and milk allergy are different things, though, see the next answer.
I have a milk allergy, can I drink it?
No, avoid both cans completely. The protein is whey, which comes from milk, and both cans carry a "Contains: Milk" declaration. A milk allergy reacts to milk proteins, which are exactly what whey is.
Why do you mention PKU?
Because people with phenylketonuria (PKU) must strictly limit phenylalanine, and any 20g-protein drink carries a meaningful amount. If you have PKU, both cans aren't for you.
Why might week one feel different?
Because the AM can carries ~15g of prebiotic fibre, about half a day's target, and a gut that isn't used to fibre needs a few days to adapt. That's the fibre doing its job, and it settles within a week or two. Start with one can a day in week one if you're new to fibre.
What's the caffeine cut-off?
Finish the AM can before about 2pm, earlier if you're caffeine-sensitive or sleep early. The AM can's 74mg from breakfast is nearly cleared by night. The PM can contains zero caffeine, so the evening needs no cut-off at all.
I get acidity, should I worry about the fizz?
If you have an active GERD or ulcer flare, let it settle before the AM can, carbonation plus caffeine on an inflamed stomach isn't a favour. This is a whole-category note for carbonated drinks, not something unique to ours. When in doubt, ask your doctor.
Why publish your own guidance like this?
Because we'd rather lose a sale than sell a can to someone it doesn't suit. The doses are printed, the research is linked, and the cautions sit right here in the open. Hold us to that.

Using it
| ☀️ ELXR AM | 🌙 ELXR PM | |
|---|---|---|
| When | With breakfast | ~9:30 pm, at least 2 hours after dinner |
| The rule | Chai 20 minutes later, never with the can | The last calories of your day |
| Caffeine | 74mg, lab-measured. Finish before ~2pm | Zero, by design |
When do I drink the AM can?
With breakfast, and your chai twenty minutes later, never with the can. Tea's tannins fight the plant-iron absorption that the can's vitamin C is helping along. The full logic is on the ELXR AM page.
When do I drink the PM can?
Around 9:30 pm, at least two hours after dinner, as the last calories of your day. Then the kitchen closes. The full logic is on the ELXR PM page.
Can I swap them, PM in the morning, AM at night?
No, they're different formulas built for different hours, not two flavours of the same drink. The AM can's caffeine has no business in your evening, and the PM can's design assumes the day is ending. Keep them in their lanes.
Can I take a can to the gym?
Yes, the AM can works sipped through a session as fluid, electrolytes and 20g of protein. It's not carb fuel: zero sugar means zero glycogen carbs, so long endurance work needs carbs from elsewhere.
How should I start?
One can a day for week one, ideally the PM can, which carries the gentler fibre dose, then move to the full AM + PM day. This gives your gut time to adapt to the fibre quietly.

Ordering
What does the ₹299 pre-book get me?
A reserved place in Batch 001, with the full ₹299 adjusted against your first order, it's a deposit, not an extra charge. Pre-book members get first access when the batch releases.
How big is Batch 001?
3,000 serialized cans. When they're reserved, they're reserved, the next batch is a later story.
Where do you deliver first?
Delhi NCR first, with Batch 001. Wider delivery follows later batches.
Will I be charged automatically later?
No. Any remaining payment happens only when you confirm your order, the ₹299 simply sits as your credit until then.
Can I take caffeine and ashwagandha together?
Yes, both are in the AM can by design, at doses inside FSSAI limits, and they're commonly co-consumed. Standing rule: anyone on medication, pregnant, or managing a health condition should ask their doctor first.
Is Recovery+ worth ₹299?
The ₹299 isn't a price, it's a parked deposit: fully adjusted against your first order, every rupee comes back as credit. What you're reserving is a serialized can from a 3,000-can first batch with lab-tested numbers.
Where can I buy Recovery+?
Batch 001 launches Delhi NCR first. Pre-booking is open to everyone and reserves your cans; wider availability follows.
