What do post-workout supplements do?

After an intense workout, your body undergoes changes that require proper nutrition to support muscle recovery and growth. Post-workout supplements are specially formulated to enhance muscle repair and aid post-exercise healing, combining nutrients, including protein, amino acids, carbohydrates, and other essential ingredients.

Here are just a few reasons you need a post-workout supplement in your daily diet: 

  • Muscle Recovery & Repair: During a workout, your muscles undergo microscopic damage, a normal part of the muscle-building process. Post-workout nutrition helps kick-start recovery by supplying the necessary building blocks, like protein and amino acids, to repair and rebuild muscle tissue.
  • Glycogen Replenishment: Intense exercise depletes glycogen stores in your muscles, serving as a primary energy source. Consuming carbohydrates after a workout helps replenish these stores, ensuring you have enough energy for your next training session (and allowing you to push harder and achieve better results).
  • Protein Synthesis: Protein synthesis is where your body builds new proteins, including the ones needed for muscle growth and repair. Consuming protein-rich post-workout supplements stimulates protein synthesis, helping you build lean muscle mass.
  • Reduced Muscle Soreness: Intense exercise often leads to muscle soreness and inflammation. Post-workout supplements containing anti-inflammatory compounds and antioxidants can help reduce muscle fatigue and soreness.

Plus, muscle recovery supplements are available as protein powder, snacks (like our Super Shred Cookies & Bars), and capsules, so you can choose a convenient recovery supplement to suit your lifestyle.
