IONTMAX
ReFuel Food 60 g

IONTMAX ReFuel Food is an instant post-workout nutrition that combines 25 g of CFM whey protein (WPC 80), fermented BCAA 2:1:1, L-glutamine, carbohydrates (glucose, fructose, sucrose, and Palatinose™), electrolytes, and vitamins B3, B5, B6, B12, and C in one 60 g serving. It serves to comprehensively replenish protein, energy, and glycogen after training, races, or other sporting performances and can replace a regular post-workout meal or protein shake.

Mix one portion (60 g, 4 scoops) ideally in 250 g of plain yogurt or quark, or alternatively in approximately 300 ml of cold water or milk. After mixing, let it stand for 2 to 3 minutes for the consistency and flavour to fully develop. It should be consumed ideally within 60 minutes after finishing physical activity, when the body best utilises the supplemented energy and protein for recovery.

The best time to consume is within 60 minutes after finishing training, races, or other intensive physical activity. During this period, the body naturally restores energy stores and initiates recovery processes, so the combination of fast and slow-release carbohydrates with protein and electrolytes works most effectively. The product is not intended to be taken before training nor as a substitute for regular meals during the day.

One 60 g serving contains 233.7 kcal, 22 g of protein, 32.3 g of carbohydrates (of which 32.2 g are sugars), 1.5 g of fat (0 g saturated), and less than 0.05 g of salt. The 60 g pack represents exactly one dose, so the nutritional values on the packaging correspond to the entire contents of the pack. Carbohydrates come from a combination of glucose, fructose, sucrose, and slow-release Palatinose™.

No, the product is gluten-free, which is listed directly among its benefits. The ingredients contain CFM whey protein concentrate, carbohydrates, amino acids, a vitamin-mineral premix, and other ingredients, none of which contain gluten or cereals. For people with coeliac disease or gluten intolerance, the product is therefore a suitable choice as part of post-workout nutrition.

The product contains milk, specifically CFM instant whey protein concentrate (WPC 80), and is therefore unsuitable for people with a milk protein allergy. Milk as an allergen is clearly stated in the ingredients and in the allergen table. It may be problematic for people with lactose intolerance because the product does not contain lactase or information about lactose-free processing, so consultation is recommended before use if you have a known sensitivity to lactose.

The product is suitable for athletes and active people – runners, cyclists, triathletes, and strength athletes – who need to replenish protein, carbohydrates, electrolytes, and vitamins after training, races, or other intensive activity. Thanks to the option of preparing it with yogurt or quark, it also serves as a filling and practical post-workout meal that replaces a classic protein shake after both strength and endurance training.

One serving contains 2000 mg of fermented BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio (L-leucine, L-isoleucine, L-valine) along with L-glutamine. These branched-chain amino acids and glutamine are among the most frequently used components of post-workout supplementation and support recovery after physical exertion in combination with 22 g of protein from CFM whey protein contained in the same dose.

Classic whey protein contains primarily protein and serves mainly to support the growth and maintenance of muscle mass, whereas IONTMAX ReFuel Food combines 25 g of CFM protein with 32.3 g of carbohydrates, electrolytes (sodium, potassium), and vitamins B3, B5, B6, B12, and C. This combination also replenishes energy, glycogen, and lost minerals post-performance, so it functions more as a comprehensive post-workout meal than just a standalone protein supplement.

A standard gainer is focused mainly on a high carbohydrate and calorie content for weight gain, often with a higher energy content per serving. IONTMAX ReFuel Food has a more balanced ratio of 22 g of protein and 32.3 g of carbohydrates at 233.7 kcal per 60 g serving, supplemented with BCAAs, glutamine, electrolytes, and vitamins, making it more suitable for rapid recovery after performance than for long-term weight gain.

Yes, the product is focused on post-workout recovery, so it can be commonly combined, for example, with creatine, which is taken independently of the timing around training. When combined with other protein or carbohydrate supplements, it is necessary to monitor total daily intake of protein, sugars, and calories to ensure it meets your individual needs and goals. If in doubt, consultation with a nutritionist or trainer is recommended.

The product contains common sports nutrition ingredients – whey protein, carbohydrates, amino acids, electrolytes, and vitamins – and no side effects are expected in healthy individuals when following the recommended dosage of one 60 g serving. Due to the milk content, it may cause digestive discomfort in people with lactose intolerance or a milk protein allergy. For any health restrictions, it is recommended to consult a doctor before use.

Sodium (from sodium citrate) and potassium (from potassium chloride) are electrolytes that the body loses during intensive sweating during training or racing. Replenishing them helps maintain fluid balance in the body and supports recovery together with the protein and carbohydrates contained in the product. This makes ReFuel Food more comprehensive than products focused only on protein or only on carbohydrates.

Glucose, fructose, and sucrose are rapidly available carbohydrates that the body uses for immediate energy replenishment right after performance. Palatinose™ (isomaltulose), by contrast, is a carbohydrate with a gradual, slower energy release that complements the fast sources and extends the energy supply in the time following training. This combination ensures both rapid and gradual replenishment of glycogen and energy after physical exertion.
