I'm going to try this stuff out. I've been getting calf cramps the last 30 minutes of 90 minute workouts, depending on the types of sets we're doing (it's worse on distance sets).
I saw a guy in my group chugging something after workout and he said he's less sore the next day if he drinks it.

Still quite sore today, I kind of have to hop around. I'm now keenly interested in how to avoid a repeat in the future (drinking something before and during work out), because once you've had one of these I think what you consume afterward is not going to help much in reducing soreness.
Endurox isn't magic. It decreases recovery time by providing fuel to load back into the muscle at the optimal time, right after workout. This helps for endurace training more than strength training.
Any electrolyte solution should help with cramps (pedialyte, gatorade, banana juice, etc).
No drink that I know of will help you with muscle damage, which is what is making you sore. There is probably something, but it is still a healing process, so I would imagine you would just decrease the length of time being sore.
Eventually you body will adapt to this work load and you won't be sore unless you increase the work load. Of course, this cycle is what makes us stronger/faster and why some people are constantly trying to train to soreness. Just short of soreness is much more pleasant and might be a faster path to greatness.
If you are a little sore each day, and can fully recover in 24 hours, you can workout to that level each day. If you are REALLY sore, it will take longer to recover, and you will not be able to workout at that level again until recovered.
