Recovery Pro. Recovery, properties and benefits.

The importance of post-workout recovery.

During training, our body uses different resources to obtain the energy it needs, achieve proper performance and adapt to the stress that it may entail. Therefore, the intake of nutrients after finishing is highly important. Physical activity involves very high energy expenditure, especially endurance sports. Hence the importance of recovery.

At the end, glycogen stores are used up and become depleted. In addition, a large amount of minerals and water are lost through sweat and must be replenished. Muscle fibers that have been damaged must be repaired.

What is Recovery?

Pro Recovery is a supplement designed by Life Pro with the aim of contributing to recovery after training and providing the necessary nutrients, mineral salts and other compounds.

For its formulation, a series of top-quality ingredients have been selected, also in optimal proportions. Pro Recovery belongs to Life Pro’s new Endurance supplement line, designed especially for endurance sports.

Its formula contains 3 different sources of carbohydrates, one source of protein: Glanbia Provon 295 whey isolate, Creapure creatine, one of the supplements with the greatest scientific evidence, and two minerals: potassium and sodium.

Among the main objectives and benefits of Recovery, the following stand out:

· supports the replenishment of depleted glycogen stores. · supports the repair of damaged muscle fibers. · contributes to the replenishment of minerals.

The composition of Recovery.

Protein source:

Recovery contains a protein source based on Glanbia Provon whey isolate.

Protein is one of the most important macronutrients for athletes. It performs a large number of functions directly related to the repair of muscle fibers damaged during training and muscle mass gain.

As it comes from milk, it is a source of high biological value: its composition contains the 9 essential amino acids that the body cannot produce.

Each serving provides more than 13 grams of protein.

Carbohydrates: it consists of 3 different sources:

Maltodextrin:

· High-glycemic-index carbohydrate. · Supports the rapid recovery of muscle and liver glycogen stores that have been depleted during physical activity. · Rapid digestion and absorption.

Fructose:

· Found in fruit · Rapid absorption and assimilation · Supports the replenishment of liver glycogen stores.

Dextrose:

· State-of-the-art, patented carbohydrate. · Does not cause intestinal discomfort · Highly efficient and rapid absorption rate due to its low osmotic pressure · Does not generate large insulin spikes. Creapure Creatine Monohydrate. · Supports increased strength and performance maintenance. · Creatine bearing the Creapure seal. · Extensive scientific evidence. · Facilitates the replenishment of phosphocreatine and, in turn, regenerates ATP.

Mineral salt complex.

It contains sodium and potassium: two electrolytes that are lost through sweat and must be replenished:

Sodium:

· Involved in regulating hydration status. · Regulates blood pressure.

Potassium

· Prevents the appearance of muscle cramps · Regulates water balance · Supports the process of protein synthesis.

Benefits of Recovery.

· Improved recovery after an exercise session. · Supports rapid recovery. · Contributes to replenishing glycogen stores. · Supports the repair of muscle fibers and muscle mass gain. · Contributes to regulating electrolyte balance.

Who is it recommended for?

It is recommended for anyone seeking an optimal supply of nutrients for their body when undertaking long training sessions, with the aim of supporting recovery, maintaining energy and improving performance.

Tips for optimal recovery.

1. Proper nutrition. It is essential to provide the body with the necessary nutrients and sufficient calories so that it can recover. An adequate protein intake is essential for repairing muscle fibers, as is an adequate carbohydrate intake so that the muscles have sufficient energy and glycogen stores can be replenished.

2. Adequate rest between sessions / workouts. This helps prevent, or minimize as much as possible, muscle soreness or overload that could prevent maximum performance. Overload can lead to injuries. Ideally, although it will depend on each person, rest should last between 24 and 72 hours.

3. Hours of sleep. Getting enough sleep is a fundamental factor. It directly affects performance. Tissues need sufficient hours of sleep to repair themselves. Good sleep quality will help and demonstrate the full importance of recovery
