Etixx Pro Line Recovery Shake, a high-dose mix of carbohydrates (±60 g), whey protein isolate (±30 g) and leucine (3 g), has been formulated based on the latest scientific insights. In addition, this professional shake also contains 1.2 g of salt per serving with the aim of replenishing electrolytes (salts) lost through sweat and accelerating and optimizing rehydration.
After intense or ultra-long training/competition, glycogen (stored sugar) has disappeared from the muscles and liver and muscles are fatigued. Recovery of muscle glycogen is the primary focus during recovery after extreme (endurance) exercise. The recommendation here is to take 1 g of carbohydrates per kg body weight immediately after exercise and then every 2 hours for the next 6 hours, depending on the duration and intensity of exercise.
In addition, attention should also be paid to recovery from muscle damage. Intake of proteins and in particular amino acids (the building blocks of proteins and thus muscle tissue), are suitable for rapid muscle recovery. Moreover, simultaneous intake of protein and carbohydrates allows muscle glycogen to recover faster. Until recently, it was believed that acute intake of 10 to a maximum of 25 grams of protein after exercise was the optimal dosage for muscle recovery and building. However, recent research showed that athletes who max out large muscle groups prefer to consume even higher amounts (up to 40 g) of protein immediately after exercise for optimal recovery. The shake is ideal for:
- All athletes who train intensively or perform ultra-long efforts.
- All athletes after a competition.
- After intensive endurance training or tempo training, and efforts such as cyclosportive rides, marathon or triathlon.
Whey protein is the highest quality protein on the market that is absorbed faster than casein or soy, for example. It is naturally very rich in leucine (an essential amino acid with a key role in muscle building) and contains all essential amino acids in higher concentrations than plant-based protein sources. Scientific studies have shown that 3 g of leucine after exercise is the optimal dosage for the stimulation of muscle protein synthesis.
