Most of us understand it’s important to intake protein after exercise but for optimal recovery, more macro and micronutrients are needed.
A complete recovery product, like REGO Rapid Recovery provides a simple solution but which one is for you?
This article explains the ingredients and the differences between REGO Rapid Recovery and REGO Rapid Recovery + and how they both promote muscle glycogen re-synthesis, muscle protein synthesis and rehydration when taken after an intense exercise.
CARBOHYDRATE AVAILABILITY
Carbohydrate availability is very important for fuelling endurance sports and is the body’s main fuel. Carbohydrate is predominantly stored as glycogen in both the liver (approximately 100 g) and muscle (approximately 400 g) and about 5 g circulating in the blood stream as glucose. The body can absorb about approximately 90g of carbohydrate per hour. A diet rich in carbohydrate increases both endurance and intermittent high-intensity performance. Rapid replenishment of glycogen stores will prepare athletes for training and their next session. Fuelling for the work required is vital for performance.
