Recovery Produces Results
BioRhythm AfterGlow
Studies show that with proper nutrition during the first hour following a workout you can increase your body’s ability to recover more than 100%.
If you want to optimize your training, improve recovery time, and accelerate muscle growth then a post-workout recovery drink is vital to your training routine.
Exercising burns up amino acids, glucose, and glycogen stored in the muscles. Upon completion, your muscles are more receptive to accepting nutrients that would restore and repair levels found in the muscles.
Scientific studies show that consuming a carbohydrate-protein supplement within 30 minutes following exercise increases the rate of muscle glycogen storage. By replacing your glycogen storage levels quickly allows your body to recuperate faster and re-charge your fuel system for the next workout or event.
When you do not restore your fuel levels soon after the workout your muscle glycogen synthesis can be decreased by as much as 66%, which impairs their recovery time.
A high carbohydrate/protein meal should be consumed within 2 hours of the workout. The meal is excellent to further maximize the recovery of your muscles. The reason a meal shouldn’t be consumed immediately after the workout is that whole foods are digested much slower than liquid meals and can even lower the response of absorbing nutrients into the blood stream and muscles.
We recommend After Glow for a great tasting way to re-charge after your workouts.
