It is said to take your Post-Workout within 2 hours after your workout, we believe 30 minutes max after your workout. The Sooner after your Workout the Better! The Last Rep, Pound Your Post-Workout Drink right then!

Post-Workout Nutrition Supports:

• Improved recovery
• Less muscle soreness
• Increased ability to build muscle
• Improved immune function
• Improved bone mass
• Improved ability to utilize body fat
• These benefits seem to work for virtually everyone, regardless of gender or age.

Why are workout and post-workout nutrition so important?

When we work out intensely, we damage tissues at the micro level, and we use up our body's fuel.

This is what ultimately makes us stronger, leaner, fitter, and more muscular, but in the short term, it requires serious repair.

Repair and rebuilding always occur through the breakdown of old, damaged proteins (aka protein breakdown) and the construction of new ones (aka protein synthesis), which is a process known collectively as protein turnover.

Muscle protein synthesis is increased slightly (or unchanged) after resistance workouts, while protein breakdown increases dramatically. We’re doing a lot more breaking-down than building-up, this is why a Post-Workout Drink helps so much.

The relationship between these two parameters (rate of muscle protein synthesis and muscle protein breakdown) represents your metabolic basis for muscle growth.

Muscle hypertrophy occurs when a positive protein balance can be established during recovery, so in other words when we make sure we have enough raw materials available for protein synthesis to occur so that it does not lag behind protein breakdown.

This is especially difficult with endurance athletes as protein synthesis drops and protein breakdown goes up.

Studies show that this trend can be reversed, specifically, protein synthesis is stimulated, and protein breakdown is suppressed when you consume the right type of nutrients after exercise.

Protein is not the only concern, however. During exercise sessions, stored carbohydrates can be substantially depleted as well.

Thus, during the post-workout period, we require protein and carbohydrates.

The raw materials we give our body through the consumption of food & supplements before, during, and post-workout periods are critical to creating the metabolic environment our bodies desire.

When to take your Post-Workout Powder: Many refer to this workout and post-workout phenomenon as “the window of opportunity”.

During this window, your muscles are primed to accept nutrients that can stimulate muscle repair, muscle growth, and muscle strength.

This window opens immediately after your workout and starts to close quickly. Research suggests that while protein synthesis persists for at least 48 hours after exercise, it’s most important to get post-workout nutrition immediately, and within 30 minutes afterward.

If you feed your body properly while this window is open, you’ll get the benefits you desire.

If you don’t provide adequate post-exercise nutrition fast enough, even if you delay by only a couple of hours, you decrease muscle glycogen storage and protein synthesis.

As soon as you drop that last dumbbell or whatever your sporting event, you should be consuming some post-workout nutrition. Workout Hard, then take your Post-Workout Powder Immediately after.
