The Key to Recovery

There are two muscle-related states that our bodies can be in: catabolic and anabolic. Anabolic means that the body is in a muscle-building state, and catabolic means quite the opposite, when the body tends to break down muscle tissue. The best thing we can do to speed up recovery is keep our anabolic switches turned on as often as possible throughout the day to prevent muscle breakdown. One way to do this is through BCAA supplementation. A constant stream of leucine-rich aminos provides your muscles with their essential building blocks, resulting in increased muscle protein synthesis and greater workout intensity. Combining BCAAs with antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, and other aminos enhances recovery. Here are several other ingredients to further speed recovery.

cherries

Key Ingredient: Tart Cherry Extract

Tart cherry is a relatively new supplement that packs a punch. It has been shown to act as an anti-inflammatory, reducing soreness after training. Tart cherry also supports healthy joints and proper sleep.

The Power of Matcha Green Tea

Key Ingredient: L-Theanine

The tea-derived amino helps relax your mind and take stress off the cardiovascular system. This is key in achieving a fully recovered nervous system to get your body fully firing before your next workout. 

5 of 5

Nutrient Deficiencies You Can Avoid

Key Ingredient: Vitamin C

Vitamin C plays an important role in growth and development. The vitamin is used to rebuild tissue and get rid of free radicals. Maintaining a constant supply of vitamin C will help you reduce unnecessary waste while enhancing recovery.
