[PhD Nutrition] Recovery 2:1

Post workout supplements are undoubtedly the most important drinks you need! After training your body has used glycogen for energy, caused small micro-tears in muscles and drained resources essential for your immune system.
This is therefore the best time to use a supplement that will start re-building those muscle fibres, restore your glycogen and give your immune system the boost it needs to not only work as normal but become even stronger.

For this recovery 2:1 by PhD is essential. It takes away any questioning of what type of protein is best, what carbohydrates should be consumed and with numerous amounts of research invested in the ingredients will give your body exactly what it needs.

If you are an athlete playing sport, a fitness enthusiast working out or even a hardcore bodybuilder blasting through a weights session, you will know you need to replenish your body immediately after you train.
This is because otherwise your body may stay or enter catabolism in other words start eating into itself to provide your body with fuel.

Whey protein isolate is the fastest way to increase protein synthesis due to its rapid digestion, hence why it is used in recovery 2:1.
Not only does recovery 2:1 use whey protein isolate but also micronised l-glutamine to enhance recovery and assist your immune system alongside with BCAA's and anti-oxidants.

A 2 to 1 ratio of protein and carbohydrates has been seen to be the most effective method of rapidly recovering, providing 2g of carbohydrates for every gram of protein.
With 48g of both slow releasing waxy maize starch and dextrose (to provoke your pancreas to secrete insulin, a very anabolic hormone) and 24g of protein, your body will have all it needs to ensure a efficient recovery process.

In addition to all of these nutritional requirements to maximise post workout recovery, this supplement contains electrolytes to re-hydrate you.

Overall this supplement is mind blowing in how comprehensive it is at satisfying the needs athletes, a remarkable achievement by PhD!

The Post Exercise drink is the single most important meal of the day for all athletes seeking maximum recovery, glycogen and amino acid replenishment and physical progress, both aesthetically and on a performance level. Training hard with weights or playing a physical sport for 45-90 minutes is an extremely stressful and taxing event, to do so and not fully replenish nutrient stores is the biggest mistake you can make as an athlete and the primary stumbling block in the pursuit of continual progress.

PhD Recovery 2:1™ contains a precision 2:1 ratio of fast and slow acting carbohydrates and the most bio-available protein sources available to produce the perfect post exercise recovery drink.

PhD High-Speed Protein Synthesis Matrix:

- Whey Protein Isolate: The purest protein available and the fastest way to increase protein synthesis.

- Micronised L-Glutamine: For complete post-exercise recovery.

- Micronised Creatine Monohydrate: For maximum intra muscular super compensation and cell volume.

- Peptide-Bonded L-Glutamine: To ensure maximum glutamine assimilation.

- Antioxidants and BCAA’s: For muscle repair and immune-boost.

PhD Dual Action Glycogen-Replenishment System: Fast & Slow carb re-load:

Most of you will have heard of waxy maize starch. Well PhD are the first to introduce to the market, Waxy Barley Starch™

Waxy Barley Starch is exceptionally low GI (1), contains healthy naturally-occurring beta glucans and unlike maltodextrin and maize starch, brings you all the goodness and health benefits of barley. So whilst Recovery 2:1™ provides the ultra-fast acting protein source Whey Protein Isolate for instant protein synthesis and the fast-acting carbohydrate source, Dextrose, for immediate glycogen replenishment, Recovery 2:1™ also ensures that after the initial “spike” of blood sugar needed for an anabolic effect, the Waxy Barley Starch produces a sustained release for maximum satiety and fullness. Recovery 2:1 will not leave you feeling shaky, weak and hungry within 30 minutes of drinking them like other post-workout drinks that simply contain sugars and whey.
