Edge 321 recovery

There is a very important aspect of recovery after a workout that is often overlooked but can give you the results you're looking for. It is known as the Window of Opportunity.

When you exercise, your body burns carbohydrates for energy and breaks down your muscle tissue (especially if you are weight training). Immediately after a workout, the body has an enhanced ability to utilize nutrients such as glucose (sugar) and protein (your body's main building blocks) in order to rebuild and recover from your exercise.

Taking in nutrients immediately after exercise helps you to recover faster and feel better after a workout.

• Protein - Immediately following a workout, (within a few minutes of completion) take some protein. The easiest and best way to do this is in the form of a protein powder, though a food source such as milk will do. Taking protein gives your body something to rebuild with instead of tearing down its own muscle tissue for building blocks. Do not take protein right before a workout as it will just sit in your gut and may cause bloating (among other things). Whey Protein Isolate included in Edge 321 recovery is a rapidly absorbed protein source and even though a lot of foods contain protein, they don’t come close in absorption and amino acid profile. Plus, Whey Protein Isolate is lactose and fat free.


• Carbohydrates - Take in about 60 to 100 grams of carbohydrates to help the body refuel. Your body is most efficient at rebuilding it's carbohydrate stores immediately after a workout. The best type of carbohydrate that can be assimilated are Maltodextrine and Dextrose, both with a High Glycemic Index. Contrary to fructose (fruit sugars) they are not irritating for your stomach when ingested in high quantity, especially in a stressed stomach form training or competition.
