How do you get the most out of your training? By fueling your body with proper nutrients and supporting the gaps with dietary supplements! And that’s where we come into help you determine which recovery supplements to take and when to take them.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>How To Improve Muscle Recovery:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

While supplements can support your muscle growth and recovery, it essential to be proactive in your muscle recovery before and after the gym. Here, we’ll discuss ways you can improve muscle recovery today!<\/span><\/p>\n

Food & Hydration:<\/span><\/strong> (<\/span>1<\/a>,2<\/a>,3<\/a>)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Eating an overall healthy diet is the best way to ensure you’re not missing out on nutrients essential to repairing your muscles and improving performance. This can mean increasing your protein in-take, while reducing consumption of processed foods. But protein isn’t the only star for muscle growth and recovery. You may also want to consider adding more fruits and vegetables throughout your diet. Staying hydrated throughout your day is essential for muscle recovery. In fact, dehydration can impair your muscles’ ability to repair themselves.\u2020<\/span><\/p>\n

Active-Rest: <\/span><\/strong>(<\/span>4<\/a>,5<\/a>)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Active rest days or active recovery means introducing more low-intensity, low-impact exercise that promotes blood flow and tissue repair without further stressing the body. Studies suggest 20 minutes of post-exercise active recovery involving the same muscle groups during exercise is effect at reducing muscle fatigue. Additionally, a separate study found active recovery supported more \u00a0training benefits without increasing total training commitment time.\u2020<\/span><\/p>\n

Sleep: <\/span><\/strong>(<\/span>6<\/a>,7<\/a>)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Sleep is often considered the largest part of recovery. In fact, research suggests sleep deprivation is a cause for muscle loss and muscular atrophy. But, sleep deprivation impacts other areas of muscle growth as well. Insufficient sleep can result in a decrease of growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-1), and even testosterone. Where all these hormones can play a large role in maintaining muscle mass. Additionally, insufficient sleep may also increase cortisol and result in fat retention.\u2020<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are Recovery Supplements?<\/strong> (8<\/a>,9<\/a>)<\/span><\/h2>\n

Recovery supplements feature dietary supplements that can support exercise performance, improve protein synthesis, and support overall wellbeing.\u2020<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Do You Need Recovery Supplements?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When you exercise, fibers in your muscles stretch and tear. Depending on the intensity of your exercise, these micro-tears can result in muscle soreness. Where, during recovery, cells repair these micro-tears muscle fibers. The repaired fibers form new muscle protein strands that can be larger and stronger. But repairing muscle fibers is only one part of the recovery part. During exercise, your body begins to metabolize carbohydrates and fats for ATP in order to contract skeletal muscle. The longer the exercise session, the more substantial the loss from these muscle and adipose tissue triglyceride stores. Here, recovery supplements aim to replenish these stores and increase cellular energy.\u2020<\/span><\/p>\n
