As you know, making optimal muscle and strength gains in the gym requires that you train, eat, and rest properly.
Most people focus mainly on manipulating training protocols. Some focus equally on their diets. Few, however, understand the importance of rest and recovery and incorporate enough of both in their routines.
Common mistakes are:
Engaging in intense exercise 6-7 days per week.
Training for prolonged periods every day (1.5+ hours).
Relying solely on very high-volume weightlifting routines that cause large amounts of muscular damage.
Eating too little for proper recovery, as well as eating an improper balance of macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate, and fat).
Sleeping too little.
Such mistakes inevitably lead to overtraining, which can hit you hard and heavy, or slowly accumulate week after week.
Sooner or later, one or more of the following symptoms set in:
Loss of strength and energy to finish workouts.[1]
Hormonal imbalances that can lead to excess fat storage.[1]
Disruption of normal sleep patterns.[1]
Various aches and pains.[1]
General fatigue.[1]
Suppression of the immune system.[1]
Depression.[1]
The fundamental ways to stave off overtraining are to train with a proper frequency and intensity, to eat a sufficient amount of food–and protein in particular–every day, and to ensure you get adequate sleep every night.
Proper supplementation can help the recovery process as well, and that’s where RECHARGE can help.
Let’s look at the formulation.
GLUTAMINE
Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body, and is heavily depleted by intense, prolonged exercise.[2][3]
Research has shown that supplementation with glutamine can:
Reduce the negative effects of prolonged exercise on the immune system.[4][5][6]
Improve your endurance and reduce fatigue in prolonged exercise.[7][8]
Help your body better deal with the systemic stress of prolonged exercise.[9][10][11]
Simply put, regular supplementation with glutamine can help you push your body harder in your workouts without falling into the trap of overtraining.
Studies have shown that 100 – 200 mg per kg of body weight of glutamine each day is sufficient for athletes, and that chronic usage is important.[11][12]
EACH SERVING OF RECHARGE CONTAINS 5 GRAMS OF L-GLUTAMINE.
In case you’re wondering why we aren’t using any fancy-sounding “glutamine peptides” such as L-alanyl L-glutamine, it’s because research has shown them to be no more effective than L-glutamine.[10]
So, instead of trying to convince you to buy over-priced, over-hyped glutamine peptides, we decided to include another amino acid that has been scientifically proven to help with muscle recovery.
L-CARNITINE L-TARTRATE
Carnitine is a compound that your body produces from the amino acids lysine and methionine, and it plays a vital role in the generation of cellular energy. L-tartrate is a salt used to increase the absorption of other nutrients.
Research has shown that supplementation with L-carnitine L-tartrate can:
Reduce exercise-induced muscle damage and soreness.[13][14][15]
Improve muscle repair.[15]
Improve insulin sensitivity.[16]
The better your muscles can recover from your training, the better your results will ultimately be.
The studies cited above demonstrate that 1-2 grams of L-carnitine L-tartrate per day is enough to reap its benefits.
EACH SERVING OF RECHARGE CONTAINS 700 MILLIGRAMS OF L-CARNITINE L-TARTRATE.
DELICIOUS NATURAL FLAVOR, AND NO ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS, DYES, OR UNNECESSARY FILLERS
RECHARGE tastes great, and is naturally sweetened and flavored.
While artificial sweeteners may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of these chemicals may indeed be harmful to our health, and that more research is needed.[18][19][20][21][22][23]
We’ve chosen to stay on the safe side and use the natural sweetener stevia, instead.
Stevia is a plant with sweet leaves, and research has shown that it can:
Increase insulin sensitivity.[24]
Help regulate blood glucose levels.[24][25]
Have anti-carcinogenic properties.[26]
Decrease oxidative stress associated with eating large amounts of carbohydrates.[26]
Reduce blood pressure and inflammation in the body.[26]
Lower bad cholesterol levels.[26]
Protect the kidneys.[27][25]
And in case you’re worried that naturally sweetened means “horrible tasting,” you can rest easy.
We’ve taken special care to ensure that RECHARGE tastes great, mixes well, and goes down easy.
We don’t use artificial food dyes in any of our products.
Many recovery drinks contain artificial dyes, known as “azo dyes,” such as FD&C Yellow #5 (also known as tartrazine), FD&C Blue #1 (also known as Brilliant Blue), FD&C Red No. 40 (also known as Allura Red AC), and others.
Like artificial sweeteners, consumption of azo dyes might not be as harmful as some claim, but there is evidence that these chemicals can cause various negative effects in the body. [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]
RECHARGE contains absolutely no “label stuffing” ingredients.
We have a simple standard that we live by: every active ingredient we use must be backed by published scientific literature, and must be included at clinically effective dosages.
Suggested Use: You should base your use of RECHARGE on the clinically effective dosages given earlier:
100 - 200 mg per kg of body weight of glutamine per day.
1-2 grams of L-carnitine L-tartrate per day.
For most people, this will require 2-3 servings of RECHARGE per day.
