Complex Carbs for recovery

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Does anybody out there use a complex carb drink mix for recovery? I have recently started using a few and have had some varying degrees of success.

A couple products that I have tried are Recoverite (seems pretty good but expensive), Cyto Carb II (pretty good if I mix in some whey and glutamine), and Carbo Pro (only tried it once).

Does anybody have any experience with Recovery drinks that they are willing to share?

I use Endurox from GNC. My wife doesn't use anything but water. A couple hours after we ride, she is tight and sore, and i feel like going on another ride. I also have 1 bottle filled with accelerade on my bike in case i start to get fatigued during the ride. I don't know if the Accelerade really makes a differance, but in my head it does. I do really like the Endurox for recovery though.
