Recovery Shake (1kg) - Chocolate

After intensive training or competition, carbohydrate stores in the muscles and liver are depleted and need to be restored. At the same time, the body needs amino acids to ensure muscle recovery through protein synthesis. The gains you can achieve from training (“training adaptation”) are largely determined by the ability to synthesize new proteins post-workout.

When it comes to replenishing the body's carbohydrate stores, a combination of glucose and fructose (eg, table sugar) restores muscle glycogen as quickly after exercise as taking glucose alone. Interestingly, this combination of sugars restores liver glycogen faster and reduces gastrointestinal issues. This is why the "6D Recovery Shake" contains a mixture of maltodextrin, sucrose and fructose instead of glucose and/or maltodextrin only. Adding ± 30 g (= 0,4 g / kg body weight) of whey protein (= fast-digesting protein) to these carbohydrates further accelerates the resynthesis of muscle glycogen. In addition, this dose of protein, which also contains 3 g of leucine, maximizes the synthesis of new muscle proteins. For these reasons, only fast-digesting, naturally leucine-rich whey protein is included in the 6d recovery shake.

Restoring fluid and electrolyte balance is also essential in the post-exercise recovery process. Thanks to its high salt concentration (1 mg of sodium per litre), the "200D RECOVERY SHAKE" stimulates the feeling of thirst, which promotes the ingestion of liquids. In addition, the addition of sodium reduces the need to urinate, while allowing the body to retain more liquids ingested. This is why sodium promotes the process of rehydration.

In summary, the "6D RECOVERY SHAKE" is the ideal drink for all athletes looking for optimal muscle repair and a rapid replenishment of lost fluids, electrolytes and sugars.
