Description

High-dose mix of carbohydrates (±60g), salt (±1,2g), proteins (±30g) and leucine (±3g).

Contains ±60 g of carbohydrates per portion for optimal replenishment of muscle glycogen

Contains ±30 g of high-quality protein (whey protein isolate) per portion for rapid recovery of muscle damage

Contains 3 g of leucine per portion, the essential amino acid that plays an important role in protein synthesis and muscle building

Contains 1.2 g of salt per portion, to supplement what was lost due to sweating during exercise

After intensive or prolonged, sustained training/competition the glycogen (stored sugar) has disappeared from the muscles and liver and the muscles are tired. Recovery of muscle glycogen is the primary focus during recovery after extreme (prolonged) exertion. The recommendation is to ingest 1 g of carbohydrates per kg of body weight immediately after the exercise and then every 2 hours for the next 6 hours, depending on the duration and intensity of the exertion.

Attention must also be paid to repairing muscle damage. Ingestion of proteins and, in particular, amino acids (the building blocks of proteins and therefore also of muscle tissue) are suitable for rapid muscle recovery. Moreover, the simultaneous ingestion of proteins and carbohydrates ensures faster recovery of muscle glycogen. Until recently, it was assumed that acute intake of 10 to a maximum of 25 grams of protein after exertion was the optimum dose for muscle recovery and building. However, recent research has shown that athletes who put maximum strain on large muscle groups prefer to consume even higher amounts (up to 40 g) of proteins immediately after exertion for optimal recovery.

Whey protein is the highest-quality protein on the market that is absorbed faster than casein or soy, for example. It is naturally very rich in leucine (an essential amino acid playing a key role in muscle building) and contains all essential amino acids in higher concentrations than vegetable protein sources. Scientific studies have shown that 3 g of leucine after exercise is the optimal dosage for the stimulation of muscle protein synthesis.

Recovery Shake PRO LINE, a high-dose mix of carbohydrates (±60 g), whey protein isolate (±30 g) and leucine (3 g), has been compiled based on the latest scientific findings. In addition, this professional shake also contains 1.2 g of salt per portion with the aim of replenishing the electrolytes (salts) lost through sweat and to speed up and optimise rehydration.

Instructions

Immediately after intensive or very prolonged training/competition:

Dissolve 100 g of powder (3 scoops) in 500 ml of water.
