All athletes have one thing in common:Â Everyone needs to recover from training and racing.
However, not all athletes are the same, and the strategy for recovery needs to match the goals and unique nutritional needs of high performers. The energy output of endurance athletes is enormous and recovering from a long training day or race requires more than your average protein and electrolyte mix. GoodLife Recovery Formula is a special blend of whole-food based protein ingredients combined with cutting edge Cyclic Dextrin carbohydrate, nutrients that your body needs to repair and rebuild as rapidly as possible.
Key Benefits of GoodLife Recovery
- Protein from Beef– A whole-food source of protein that contains all nine essential amino acids in their complete and most digestible form, mandatory for muscle repair, hormone regulation and immune function.
- Combination of slow and fast absorbing protein– Both slow and fast-absorbing proteins are important for effective recovery, with fast-absorbing proteins providing immediate support for muscle repair and growth, and slow-absorbing proteins, like micellar casein, offering sustained muscle protection and maintenance.
- Egg Protein– Widely regarded as the most bioavailable form of complete protein and easiest to digest, making it able to rapidly support the process of repair within the body, preventing the muscle breakdown that can often occur between the end of the workout and the recovery meal.
- Cyclic Dextrin– Provides several benefits, including rapid glycogen replenishment (reducing muscle breakdown post workout), enhanced nutrient absorption, sustained energy release, and improved hydration. These factors can reduce the recovery time needed to fully repair muscle tissue prior to the next workout.
- Leucine– An essential amino acid crucial for protein synthesis and muscle repair and already found in whey protein. Studies show that adding leucine to a recovery formula increases the functional use within the body, along with glutamine.
- Glutamine– A non-essential amino acid that significantly aids in recovery from hard workouts and muscle breakdown from strength training. Also supports immune function, which is inhibited during hard training and racing.
- Electrolyte formula– Electrolytes are vital for recovery from endurance training, as they help maintain fluid balance, support muscle function, aid in energy production, and prevent conditions like hyponatremia. Refueling with electrolytes in a recovery formula supports the body’s ability to resist the stress during recovery.
- Cholesterol– This steroid lipid molecule is only found in animal based food sources and is crucial for hormone maintenance, cell membrane repair, vitamin-D synthesis, reducing inflammatory processes and, most importantly for endurance athletes, promoting fat metabolism, the primary fuel for endurance activities.
