Rave review alert! I am a big fan of the cambrooke therapeutics glytactin restore powder and I am about to tell you why!

During my pregnancy in 2015 I had to drink extra bettermilk and was adding mte amino acid mix to my formula and tyrsoine. After giving birth to my daughter my body still wanted the extra formula. But my clinic said I didn’t need it and it could effect my kidneys if I drank to much due to the amount of calcium.

I was in the habit of drinking 2 bettermilk packages and 12 oz of water at each meal so 3 times a day.   My clinic kept telling me about the risks and that it can lead to kidney stones and other side effects so asked me to cut back to 5 packages , which means at one meal , most likely lunch id only have 1 package instead of 2 . This didn’t work for me since its such a small volume so i ended up cutting all the way back to 4 package ( 2 with breakfast and dinner) cutting out my formula at lunch all together.  this left me hungry and had a hard time between meals specially lunch and dinner.

At BC PKU Day On April 1st in Vancouver I talked to our cambrooke rep about trying the Restore powder mixed in water at lunch. Its a formula supplement with out the vitamins and minerals. its mostly the added protein. It has 5 protein equivalents per package.

They came out with this product after having trouble with the restore liquids having gelatin particles and clumping in the bottles.  I was skeptical to try it, as i found the restore had an after taste and was such a large volume since id have to drink multiple ones plus my regular 4 bettermilk. However I am so glad I did!

At first glance it reminded me of the kool aide packages for kids that have the crystals you add to water.

Cambrooke and Stephanie sent me a few samples to try at home. They arrived on Thursday and I got a chance to try them yesterday.

I tried the berry yesterday and it tasted like a light juice or flavored water. It was refreshing and so easy. I just added it to my water bottle and took it on the go with me in my car while maddie and I ran errands.

It did not separate and was not chalky or clumpy. No after taste either.

So I thought id share some photos today while I sample the orange!

 

First I found a shaker cup since I found yesterday stirring vigorously Didn’t make it dissolve well enough: 

Then give it a good shake , it will get frothy on top but keep shaking. Then let it settle and clear.

 

 

Getting clearer :

Look at that , no chunks or froth ! looks just like juice and thin as water.

Time to drink:

 

 

ah refreshing and ice cold ! I cant believe its formula!!!!

I can totally see myself doing this once or twice a day with my water. I defiently cannot drink all my formula like this add it be way way to  much. I need around 45 grams of phe free protein a day. My bettermilk gives me 30 grams.  Each one of these restore powders is 5 but they do have ones that come as 10 i think.  So doing this twice a day is totally doable. I love how small the packages are. They fit in my purse, Madelyn’s diaper bag, my car and my back pack so I always have them with me. I think I even have one in madelyns stroller for when  I am on a walk !

I totally do not drink enough water on a daily basis and am always dehydrated and thirsty before bed time. So this will really help me up my water intake too!

All in all I am impressed and happy to find something that will fit into my routine with out to much adjusting or trouble.

if this interests you , I really recommend checking it out! Could be great for those on the go and active high energy days, for the sporty kids , to take to school, to work , or after the gym!
