Muscle recovery during and after sporting events
Nutrient provision during and after physical exercise
Optimal recovery from intensive training sessions
Energy supply for power or endurance sports
Increased stamina and delayed fatigue during exercise
Replacement of electrolytes typically lost during exercise
Energy support for short, medium or long duration events
High quality protein source for building and preserving lean muscle
Ideal post-workout protein source due to the rapid uptake of whey protein isolate
The nutrient requirement in athletes is highest immediately after intense and prolonged physical activity. The 30 – 45 minute window after training or events is a crucial time during which the body races to recover as quickly as possible.
The body’s evolutionary instinct to immediately replace muscle glycogen (our first and main source of energy) means that it will use whatever nutrients are available, and will metabolise amino acids present in muscle tissue, resulting in muscle wastage.
By rapidly supplying both long-chain and simple carbohydrates to replace glycogen, as well as fast acting protein to replace amino acids, the body recovers quickly, without breaking down existing amino acids.
The carbohydrates consist of an ideal ratio of long chain glucose polymers for sustained energy supply, as well as fast acting simple sugars (dextrose monohydrate) for rapid energy replacement and fructose (fruit sugar) to replace hepatic (liver) glycogen.
Protein in Sci-MX’s Rapid Recovery Complex is supplied in the form of premium whey protein isolate, which has the highest bio-availability, absorption rate and retention of all protein sources. Research has shown that the highest rate of nitrogen retention is achieved with whey protein isolate. In addition to the advantage in terms of protein utilisation, whey protein also contains proteins such as lactalbumen and immunoglobins. Of special importance to body-builders and athletes is a very high concentration of branched chained amino acids (BCAA’s) found in whey protein, which make up about a third of the amino acid content of human muscle tissue.
Micro-filtration is a state-of-the-art process, which is used to create Sci-MX’s whey protein. This preserves the integrity of the proteins, which otherwise could be damaged by excessive heat. The excellent manufacturing process & amino acid ratios used in producing Sci-MX’s award winning products ensures that our products remain the ultimate choice for the serious body-builder, athlete or active individual.
Studies have shown that whey protein is very quickly metabolised and absorbed into the digestive system, ensuring it is available just as rapidly to recovering muscles. It also contains the highest level of essential, muscle repairing BCAA’s, making it an ideal, post-workout protein drink.
Rapid Recovery Complex is a light, refreshing, fruit flavoured drink, suitable even during events or training, and is available in two delicious flavours.
