Timing is Everything, Especially With Recovery
Let’s face it, drinking something healthy is one thing, but drinking it at the right time? That’s where the magic happens. Whether you're smashing a workout, hitting snooze on a rest day, or pushing through a long work shift, when you drink JiM can make a real difference in how you feel and function.
JiM isn’t your average recovery drink, it’s a No Nonsense Functional Soda loaded with ingredients that actually work. But depending on your goals, whether it’s muscle recovery, gut health, or just daily wellness, the best time to sip can vary. Let’s break it down.
Why Timing Matters: A Quick Look Inside the Can
Before we get into the when, let’s cover the what. Each can of JiM is packed with:
- 5g of protein from free-form amino acids (not milk or plant blends)
- 5,000mg of a recovery blend: includes 3,000mg of L-glutamine + 2,000mg of BCAAs
- 1g of organic prebiotic fibre (INAVEA)
- Organic apple cider vinegar (ACV)
- 0 sugar, 0 caffeine, naturally sweetened with erythritol and stevia
Unlike traditional protein shakes or sugary energy drinks, JiM delivers functional ingredients in clinical doses, no filler, no crash, and no bloating.
Option 1: Start Your Day With JiM
Best for: Gut health, metabolic support, clean hydration
Wake up and fuel up, without the jitters. JiM’s no-sugar, caffeine-free formula makes it a perfect morning companion, especially if you’re skipping breakfast or easing into the day.
The INAVEA organic prebiotic fibre kicks off your gut health by feeding beneficial bacteria and supporting digestion. Meanwhile, organic ACV may help regulate blood sugar and give your metabolism a gentle nudge.
Morning JiM Benefits:
- Nourishes gut microbiome and supports digestion
- May assist in blood sugar balance and metabolism (thanks to ACV)
- Light, functional protein support without the heaviness
- No caffeine = clean energy, no mid-morning crash
It's a solid way to start your day strong, especially for those on intermittent fasting or early morning movers who need a little something without a full meal.
Option 2: Post-Workout or After Any Workout
Best for: Muscle recovery, soreness prevention, replenishment
This is JiM’s true wheelhouse. The moment you finish your workout or training session, your body enters recovery mode, and it’s hungry for nutrients. JiM answers with fast-absorbing amino acids, BCAAs, and L-glutamine in amounts that actually matter.
Let’s talk numbers:
- 3,000mg of L-glutamine may support muscle glycogen replenishment, immune function, and gut repair
- 2,000mg of BCAAs (L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine) may reduce soreness and muscle fatigue
- All 5g of JiM’s protein comes from these highly bioavailable aminos, so you recover faster, minus the chalky aftertaste
Post-Workout JiM Benefits:
- Fast-acting recovery blend absorbs quickly (no digestion needed)
- Replenishes amino acids to reduce muscle soreness and promote repair
- No sugar, no artificial flavours, just real recovery
- BCAAs and glutamine backed by research and clinical studies
For those training hard or frequently, this is an absolute no-brainer. JiM gives you the tools your body needs to bounce back faster, without having to down a giant shake or eat a full meal immediately.
Option 3: Anytime You Need a Clean Pick-Me-Up
Best for: Recovery days, gut support, general wellness
Some days aren’t about gains, they’re about staying well, feeling light, and keeping things moving. JiM is perfect for active recovery, afternoon slumps, or even late nights when you want something fizzy but functional.
The combo of prebiotic fibre, apple cider vinegar, and light protein helps:
- Support digestion and reduce bloating
- Promote gut barrier integrity
- Nourish your microbiome (without excess fibre that causes gas)
Because it’s sugar-free and caffeine-free, JiM won’t mess with your sleep, spike your blood sugar, or make you crash an hour later. It's the kind of functional hydration you didn’t know you needed, until you try it.
Anytime JiM Benefits:
- Helps regulate digestion and microbiome balance
- Hydrates and fuels recovery, even on rest days
- Satisfies cravings with real flavour, no junk
- Perfect sub for sodas or sugar-heavy electrolyte drinks
