FaithDawg, i understand your concern with wanting to improve your endurance and your recovery, and this is indeed the forum to find info.
When you see "award winning", you can bet that it's an in-house award and that any "research results" were crudely done with a select group of people who have a financial interest in the product. It's like a high school flunkie correcting their own exams and giving themselves a good grade because gramma promised them $5.
Luckily, you can find out legimate results by entering the product in the Google Scholar search engine and looking for peer-reviewed articles. For instance, there's a beverage called FRS which was commissioned by the Dept of Defense to be tested in the Western 100 to see if it's antioxidant qualities helped, because that can be carried over to our military. I don't know what the results were, but FRS was nicely researched by major uiniversities. If BSN... is in good scientific standing, let us know. Also, 1/3 people will react positively to the placebo effect. Take that for what it's worth.
