Description

Muscle Link's Recover X is a high protein shake formulated to maximize the "anabolic window" after workouts. After training, there is a fifteen minute anabolic (muscle building) window to stimulate and accelerate muscle protein synthesis. Recover X's matrix of whey proteins, maltodextrin, glutamine, arginine, calcium and methoxyisoflavone provides an ideal blend of nutrients for post workout anabolic acceleration.

Recover X contains 40 grams of hydrolyzed whey proteins. These fast-acting proteins immediately deliver amino acids to muscles, optimizing the anabolic window. Recovery agents such as conditionally essential amino acid glutamine and amino acid arginine help prevent muscle tissue breakdown and support muscle repair.

Recover X delivers 60 grams of complex carbohydrate maltodextrins that help preserve muscle glycogen (stored energy) levels. In combination with maltodextrin, arginine improves glycogen storage more than 30 to 40 percent. The combination of whey proteins and maltodextrin taken immediately after training stimulates protein synthesis by 200 percent.

Research suggests that anabolic flavones such as methoxyisoflavone have muscle- and bone- building benefits without the side effects seen with androgenic (male) or estrogenic (female) hormones. Methoxyisoflavone is a nonsteroidal compound that increases lean muscle gains and recovery.

Pros

Muscle Link's Recover X is specially formulated as a post workout meal replacement drink. It features a creamy orange flavor with no added fructose, sucrose or aspartame. For optimum results, Recover X should be used within fifteen minutes after training.

Recover X has the following benefits:

• Specially formulated to maximize the anabolic window after training
• 40 grams of fast-acting whey proteins maximizes muscle gain
• 60 grams of complex carbs preserve muscle glycogen
• Methoxyisoflavone promotes muscle building without steroid-like side effects
