Recovery is at the heart of performance. As the Official Recovery Nutrition Partner of the IRONMAN Global Series, Amacx supports athletes from demanding training sessions to the finish line and beyond. Completing an IRONMAN is an incredible achievement, and we’re proud to help every finisher begin recovery the moment they cross the line.

Across race locations worldwide, Amacx recovery nutrition is available immediately after the finish, because what you do after the effort determines how quickly you’re ready to go again. Athletes receive science-backed support to refuel, rehydrate, and rebuild after extreme endurance efforts.

Proven at the highest level of cycling, with 4 of 6 Grand Tour victories in 2025, the same expertise now supports IRONMAN athletes worldwide.

Amacx recovery at the finish line

Amacx Cherry Juice+ will be available to all finishers in the post-finish area. At selected events, the Amacx Recovery Shake will also be provided, delivering a balanced mix of protein and carbohydrates to support rapid recovery when it matters most.

Why recovery matters

After a long and demanding endurance effort, your body is exhausted. Your glycogen stores are empty, your fluid balance is disrupted and your muscles have sustained damage.

To recover properly, your body needs:

Carbohydrates to replenish glycogen stores
Fluids and electrolytes to restore fluid balance
Protein to support muscle recovery

Skipping or delaying recovery slows adaptation and increases fatigue. Getting it right helps athletes return stronger: physically and mentally. This is where Amacx comes in.
