Recovery from exercise is one of the most important areas of an individuals training regime; from gym enthusiast to elite athlete, getting the essential mix of nutrients after training is vital for not only repair, but growth too. XL Synthesis contains four essential nutrients to optimise this process. Firstly, Hydrolsed Whey Protein1, a rapidly absorbed, pre-digested form of whey protein which provides the amino acid building blocks to aid in recovery. Secondly, the amino acid L-Leucine2, this nutrient has been show to directly stimulate protein synthesis, the growth of new muscle tissue, thus helping with muscular growth and repair. Thirdly, Creatine Monohydrate3, the worlds most researched and used ergogenic aid. Creatine acts to improve exercise performance by aiding the replenishment of ATP; our bodies energy currency system, as well as through a whole host of other mechanisms. Finally, Waxy Maize Starch4, a rapidly absorbed carbohydrate that aids the absorption of XL Synthesis’s other ingredients, as well as replenishing diminished fuel stores in the muscle, leading to safe and rapid recovery when you need it most; WMS does not cause bloating after ingestion like other cheaper carbohydrate sources.
