You put in the miles. We'll handle the recovery.
We've been at this since 2008. Zaca was born in the mile-high air of Colorado, where thin oxygen and a dry climate punish anyone who moves fast. We built our Recovery Chewable to keep up out here as a top supplement for runners. Then runners, hikers, and skiers told us it kept up with them too.
Hydrate without the water bottle. Chew two tablets. No powder, no mixing, no sloshing bottle on your belt.
Sugar-free and gluten-free. No gut bomb mid-cooldown.
L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine helps your body pull in water and rebuild energy stores after exertion.
Glutathione, the body's "master antioxidant," helps fight the oxidative stress that hard miles create.
Prickly Pear brings natural minerals (potassium, magnesium), flavonoids, and antioxidants.
Pocket-sized. Fits a running belt, a drop bag, backpack, or a jacket pocket. Travels well in any race.
We don't sell a wall of confusing tubs. We make one thing, and we make it well. So "which one do I grab?" stays simple.
Easy few miles? Chew two tablets after.
Long run, race day, or training at altitude? Take two before, a few chewabes as needed throughout the race/marathon, and two after to stay ahead of the drain.
Back-to-back hard days? Keep a packet in your bag and chew as needed.
Pair it with 12 oz of water to optimize and you're set. Think of it like a pit stop. The run is the race. Zaca is the crew that gets you back on the road, fresh for the next lap.
Fifteen-plus years. Hundreds of reviews. Stocked in Vail Resorts shops, where real mountain athletes grab it before they head up. Our customers run in Colorado heat, paddle through Tennessee humidity, and fly across time zones, and they keep reordering. That's the kind of proof you can't fake.
Ready to recover like you mean it? Grab your Recovery Chewables now for your next run.
What are the best recovery supplements for runners?
The best ones cover the three things running drains: fluids, essential nutrients, and energy stores. Zaca's chewable does all three with l-alanyl-l-glutamine, glutathione, prickly pear, and Japanese raisin, with no sugar and no water needed.
When should I take them after a run?
Sooner is better. Chew two within about 30 minutes of finishing, while your body is primed to absorb. For long runs or races, take two before you head out too.
Do runners really need electrolytes, or is water enough?
Water replaces volume, not the minerals you sweat out. On long or hot runs, electrolytes and recovery nutrients help your body actually hold onto that water instead of passing it straight through.
Are these good for marathons and long training blocks?
Yes. Long efforts hit hydration and recovery the hardest, which is exactly where a before-and-after dose helps most. And Zaca is light enough to carry in a race belt or pocket.
