FAQ
Our most frequently asked questions about Critical Reload Post Workout Recovery Shake
How is Critical Reload different from chocolate milk?
Distinct Protein Types in Critical Reload
Critical Reload post workout recovery drink differs greatly from milk. First, it contains three distinct types of protein. The types include casein and whey proteins (isolate and hydrolyzed). Hence, the user gets a unique sequence of amino acids. Critical Reload scores 100% in all essential amino acids. Why does all this focus on amino acids?
The Importance of Amino Acids
Next, your body builds muscle out of amino acids, not whole proteins. Secondly, proteins provide the body with critical amino acids that serve as building blocks for forming new muscles. But not all dietary proteins are equal. Whey rapidly increases protein synthesis and casein blocks protein breakdown. The combination of both is ideal for Critical Reload ingredients.
Understanding Whey and Casein
Milk proteins are great sources of essential amino acids, but they differ in one aspect. Whey is a fast-digesting protein, and casein is a slow-digesting protein. Fast-digesting whey means it empties from the stomach quickly. This causes a rapid and significant increase in plasma amino acids. The result is protein synthesis briefly increases, but protein breakdown remains the same. Whey has more leucine, an amino acid that boosts protein creation. Whey protein quickly boosts protein creation, but the effect doesn’t last long.
Important Characteristics of Milk Casein
Milk casein protein doesn’t dissolve easily, but it forms structures called micelles to mix better with water. When milk gets processed with heat or acid, the casein and its micelle structures break down into simpler forms. As a result, a gelatinous material gets developed. Whey casein digests slowly, leading to a steady release of amino acids into the bloodstream.
Is Critical Reload Gluten-Free?
Yes, the Critical Reload post workout recovery drink is entirely GLUTEN-FREE!
Is Critical Reload Lactose-Free?
No. Critical Reload does contain a low-level of lactose (2-grams per 8-ounce (oz) serving compared to 12-grams per 8-oz searing of low-fat milk). Lactose tolerance varies widely. The majority of athletes I’ve worked with whom are lactose intolerant can take Critical Reload without any gastrointestinal disturbance. There is a minority though that cannot take Critical Reload because of their heightened lactose sensitivity. We recommend you consult your physician before using Critical Reload as your post workout recovery drink.
How many bags come in a case of Critical Reload?
A case of Critical Reload contains six (6), 3.4-pound bags.
How many servings of Critical Reload are in a 3.4-pound bag?
Each 3.4-pound bag of Critical Reload contains 24 servings.
How is Critical Reload Different From A Dietary Supplement?
The FDA defines Critical Reload post workout recovery drink as a conventional food. While dietary supplements often contain ingredients like vitamins, minerals, herbs, and amino acids found in our diet, Critical Reload doesn’t include any of these added dietary components.
Secondly, Critical Reload is made in a factory that follows GMP standards and is overseen by the FDA. The acronym GMP stands for Good Manufacturing Practices.
Lastly, conventional foods must have a Nutrition Facts panel. Dietary supplements must have a Supplement Facts panel. The label on Critical Reload shows “Nutrition Facts” instead of “Supplement Facts”.

I’ve been ordering this product for my son on the advice of his strength and conditioning coach. This is a fantastic product for recovery and my son likes the tastes which is an added bonus.
Brandon Athey (verified owner) –
Been an S&C coach 6 years now, and have been resistance training for over 15. I’ve tried almost all protein products on the market and in my opinion this one is definitely the smoothest and the best tasting. Would recommend this product to anyone.
Jennifer Banks (verified owner) –
Our son was introduced to Critical Reload this summer during football conditioning. We decided that we needed it in our home! He loves the taste and unlike the other protein shakes he’s had – he can mix it with water instead of milk and still loves the taste. Had a problem making our first order, but the customer service was first class and very personable!!
