GU ENERGY LABS RECOVERY DRINK MIX
Dietary supplement
Created for athletes to refuel after demanding activity, GU Recovery Drink Mix packs energy-dense whey protein isolate to promote protein synthesis and reduce muscle-protein breakdown.
The carbohydrate, dextrose, helps replenish glycogen stores and also play a role in inhibiting exercise-stimulated muscle-protein breakdown.
The amino acid arginine (1400mg) is the rate-limiting amino acid in nitric oxide production, which can potentially increase vasodilation and improve oxygen transport.
The amino acid glutamine (2800mg) helps promote proper immune function.
Sodium, the primary electrolyte lost in sweat, aids in rehydration by maintaining water balance.
- Electrolytes: maintain water balance and aid in rehydration.
- Carbohydrates: replenish glycogen stores and help prevent muscle protein breakdown.
- Amino acids: arginine promotes blood flow and glutamine supports a strong immune system.
- Protein: helps promote muscle recovery and reduces muscle protein breakdown.
RECOMMENDATION: mix one packet into 8 oz. of water in a 16 oz. water bottle. Shake until dissolved. Top off with another 8 oz. of water. Shake well. Consume within 30 minutes after training or racing.
