EAS Recovery Max provides the following per serving:
33% Highly bio-available proteins - for rapid absorption and regeneration
of muscle tissue
56% carbohydrates - for maximum glycogen synthesis following exercise
Vitamin and mineral blend - Each serving contains a vitamin and mineral
blend including the antioxidant vitamins C & E to help combat free
radicals produced during exercise.
Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) - To help prevent catabolic situations
where muscle breaks down during intense exercise.
Added Glutamine - To help reduce muscle tissue damage and support immune
function.
When should you use EAS Recovery Max?
EAS Recovery Max should be consumed immediately post-exercise to ensure
maximum benefits to glycogen synthesis and protein synthesis is achieved.
What makes the protein in EAS Recovery Max so useful after exercise?
EAS Recovery Max contains easily digestible proteins from high quality,
bio-active whey and milk proteins. Whey protein has many benefits including
rapid absorption by the body for muscle regeneration and the highest yield
of BCAAs of any single protein source. This makes whey an excellent protein
source to use post-exercise, as BCAA's comprise roughly 1/3 of muscle
tissue and are among the first sacrificed during intense exercise.
What is the benefit in consuming carbohydrates immediately post-exercise?
Recovery Max contains complex carbohydrates, with no added sugars, to
maximise glycogen synthesis which is at its highest level immediately
after exercise and stimulates rapid glycogen storage. Muscle glycogen
is the main fuel source for high intensity activity and is also the ultimate
limiting factor for endurance performance. Therefore, it is important
to have abundant stores for optimal performance under strenuous training
regimens.
Why is the specific blend of ingredients in EAS Recovery Max so beneficial?
Scientific evidence suggests that consuming the ratios of the nutrients
found in Recovery Max following endurance sessions can support protein
synthesis, minimise elevated cortisol levels, which can be catabolic to
muscle tissue, increase glycogen synthesis and enhance muscle repair and
recovery. The added vitamins and minerals assist the muscle regeneration
process and the added Glutamine replenishes the diminished Glutamine levels
which where used up during endurance exercise. Glutamine also plays an
important function in the immune system.
