At Bioteen, we created Recovery to provide active teens and those participating in competitive sports with a nutritional supplement designed to support the body's recovery process so that athletes are ready for their next training session or game.
Recovery is ideal for teen athletes looking to provide their body with additional nutritional support to ensure that they refuel, rebuild and rehydrate post exercise.
Carbohydrates To Refuel
The athlete's body has one primary goal in mind after strenuous exercise and that is to replace glycogen storage. Eating carbohydrate as part of the recovery meal increases plasma glucose and insulin concentration and makes it possible for the body to resynthesize glycogen at a higher rate.
Consuming carbohydrates in the first few hours immediately after strenuous exercise also helps to restore immune function. This is especially important in situations where the recovery duration between two consecutive exercise sessions is short, which is often the case for athletes.
Protein To Rebuild
Even a simple cardio session results in muscle breakdown, so protein and amino acids are needed to help maximize muscle repair. Depending on the type and intensity of exercise, and the total calories needed for recovery, a 3:1 ratio of carbohydrates to protein is usually recommended.
Rehydrate
Adequate fluids help regulate body temperature and blood pressure and transport energy and nutrients throughout the body. It is essential to allow the body to achieve balance and maintain the process of recovery by replenishing any fluids lost during exercise.
Recovery contains the right ratio of high-quality carbohydrates and protein to provide the body with the right nutrition needed post exercise. Providing the body with the correct nutrients at the correct time can affect your recovery rate. In additional to the correct nutrition, a healthy diet comprised of proteins, carbohydrates and fats, coupled with sufficient sleep, is essential for the body's recovery process.
