Etixx Pro Line Recovery Shake Banana and Chocolate – 1400g

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.

PRO LINE Recovery Shake, 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.

Who can benefit from the PRO LINE Recovery Shake?

• All athletes who train intensively or undergo prolonged and sustained exertion
• All athletes after competition
• After intensive endurance training, intensive pace training, efforts such as cyclosportive events, marathons, triathlons, etc.
