Today's workout is
only as good as yesterday's recovery
Today's workout is only as good as yesterday's recovery. Cytomax
Recovery is a comprehensive muscle and total energy system recovery
formula designed for endurance athletes. Cytomax Recovery enables you
to take full advantage of that crucial window of opportunity one hour
after exercise when muscles are most receptive to glycogen reloading
and nutrient re-synthesis.
Cytomax Recovery provides complex carbohydrates for muscle and
liver glycogen replenishment, a complete amino acid protein matrix for
muscle growth and repair, and 'Lean Lipids' - energy efficient fats
for concentrated nutrient restoration, anti-inflammatory effect and
retention of minerals and electrolytes.
Two scoops of Cytomax Recovery (mixes easily in water) after
workouts will deliver the nutrients you need to trigger your body from
a catabolic (breakdown) state into an anabolic (re-building) state
quickly and efficiently.
Benefits of using Cytomax Recovery:
Balanced caloric content: (48% Fat, 21% Carbohydrate, 31% Protein)
provides you a blend of nutrients you need and minimizes blood sugar
spikes
Efficient Energy Metabolism: Lean LipidsTM are special fats that
are easily mobilized for workout energy, enhance your body's fat
metabolism and promote protein synthesis, anti-imflammatory effects
and mineral retention. Muscle Growth and Repair: EvoProTM is a complex
ratio of proteins, peptides and amino acids designed to replicate the
amazing benefits of mothers milk for rapid tissue growth and repair
Free Radical Protection: CytoViteTM helps your tissue rebound from
the stressful oxidative effects of exercise Liver glycogen
replenishment: Alpha-L-PolylactateTM is six times more efficient than
glucose in replenishing
It is well known that your system is most receptive to glycogen
re-loading and nutrient re-synthesis during a one-hour 'window of
opportunity' immediately after exercise. If calories are not consumed
during this window, your muscles are less receptive as time goes on
and recovery is severely compromised. The problems athletes experience
with the window of opportunity are:
Appetite is often suppressed after sustained exercise due to
fatigue, elevated body temperature and flowing endorphins
Most convenient 'recovery' foods and drinks are high sugar, devoid
or protein and fats that are also crucial to recovery.
Cytomax Recovery mixes instantly in water for high convenience, is
easy to digest even with appetite suppressed and contains a complete
blend of high quality carbs, protein and fat essential to proper
recovery.
CytoSport elite athletes have commented that this product is an
innovation that the endurance world has been waiting over 15 years
for. Elite competitors know the importance of the one-hour window of
opportunity after workouts. When you get the recovery process started
immediately it makes a big difference over a 24-hour period. Add that
up to hundreds of workouts over a year and you realize that developing
a habit like instant replenishment after workouts can elevate your
performance and recovery rate noticeably.
Former top professional triathlete Andrew MacNaughton, who won over
30 events in his 8-year career and had the Wildflower course record
for 9 years, is making a comeback in 2003 at age 40. He is using the
CytoSport supplements to enhance his recovery, a key concern after 9
years of near inactivity. He has been using Cytomax Recovery after
workouts, "I mix Vanilla flavor with Vanilla soy milk - it tastes
amazing!" Some athletes have experimented with mixing a thick bottle
of Cyto Recovery (~600 calories worth) for use during distance runs or
rides over three hours to stabilize blood sugar and obtain other
benefits from ingesting protein and fat during sustained exercise.
Others prefer to use Cytomax Pre-Formance for long sessions - it is a
personal preference.
Figure out what works best for you but respect the stress of
exercise and the science that supports immediate replenishment after
workouts. If you want the most sophisticated (really the only) product
on the market that has been specifically designed for post-endurance
muscular and total body recovery, try Cytomax Recovery. The product is
available in Vantage Vanilla, Orange Smoothie and Mountain Mocha in
2.2 lb container.
Best ways to use Cytomax
Recovery:
After training or competing between 1 to 2 hours after, your
muscle is primed and ready to be triggered into an anabolic state.
Cytomax Recovery is designed to spur secretion of the body's major
anabolic hormone, insulin, while at the same time suppressing its
catabolic antagonist, cortisol.
For maximum recovery take the amounts as follows:
Women and men 100-150 lbs
2 scoops / 12 oz. cold water
Women and men 150-220+ lbs
Double the amount above
This double serving can be taken at one time, or divided
depending on convenience or preference. For best results, consume
the entire double serving within a 15-30 minute period.
Available sizes: 2.4 lb container
Flavors include: 'Vantage Vanilla, Orange Smoothie and Mountain
Mocha.
