A PRODUCT DESIGNED FOR RECOVERY
For best results, eat the bar within half an hour of the exercise session. Why carbohydrates? Carbohydrates help you recover from normal muscle function (contraction) after very intense and/or prolonged physical exercise causing muscle fatigue and reduced glycogen stores in skeletal muscles. Why proteins? Proteins help to reconstruct muscle fibres that have been damaged by exercise.
WHAT SHOULD I TAKE IN ADDITION TO MY BAR?
Water to rehydrate (quantity depending on perspiration), at regular intervals; sodium to hydrate and better absorb carbohydrates; bicarbonates to buffer acidity. We therefore recommend water that is rich in bicarbonates and sodium.
WHEN SHOULD I TAKE A RECOVERY RATION?
Less is sometimes more! The recovery ration is not completely necessary after a short, light session, or if your next meal is within an hour (make sure it contains an adequate amount of proteins and antioxidants).
"THE MORE PROTEIN, THE BETTER"; "WHEY IS THE BEST THING FOR RECOVERY". STOP THE MISCONCEPTIONS!
There is no point in getting too much protein. Muscle recovery and repair will not improve above a 20 g protein intake. Isolated protein intake does not enable optimal recovery. To stimulate muscle repair and the restocking of muscle glycogen, it is better to combine carbohydrates with this protein.
LITTLE REMINDER
In addition to physical activity, it is important to maintain a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.Drink regularly.
