Why is it important to consume carbohydrates with protein?
Athletes need to consume carbs during recovery to replenish glycogen fuel stores that get depleted during exercise. Protein is helpful because it supplies amino acid building blocks needed for muscle tissue repair and the building of new muscle tissue in response to exercise. Unless carb intake during recovery is very high, carbs and protein consumed together are better at boosting the rate at which glycogen stores are replenished than carbs alone. The reason for this is that the combination is very effective at boosting insulin levels. Insulin is a natural anabolic hormone that helps the body build and recover after exercise. Thus, carbs and protein provide the necessary building blocks to promote recovery, and when consumed together, they can help speed the recovery process.
What are some of the other nutritional advantages of the POWERBAR RECOVERY PRODUCTS?
- POWERBAR RECOVERY sports drink mix contains sodium and potassium electrolytes (500 mg and 24 mg, respectively per 16 fl oz serving) for rapid and efficient rehydration after exercise and comes in a powder that can be easily mixed in water when you want something thirst quenching that you can easily chug.
- POWERBAR RECOVERY bars contain 9–10 grams of a lipid blend designed to help with muscle lipid reloading, and important electrolytes including sodium (180 mg) and potassium (85–105 mg). Choose this bar when you want cutting-edge, comprehensive recovery and something solid and rewarding after exercise.
NUTRITION
How do POWERBAR RECOVERY PRODUCTS support muscle recovery and repair?
All POWERBAR RECOVERY PRODUCTS are formulated with a carb/protein blend that aids glycogen restoration and supports muscle protein repair immediately after endurance activity.
- The POWERBAR ® RECOVERY sports drink mix contains 6g of protein and 40g of carbs per 16 fl oz serving.
- The compact and easily transportable POWERBAR ® RECOVERY bar contains 12g of protein and 30g of carbs per bar.
When should I use POWERBAR RECOVERY PRODUCTS?
Eat a bar or drink the sports drink or shake as soon as possible after a workout to jumpstart the recovery process. This is the interval where rate of recovery is most rapid, so take full advantage of it. Continuing to eat carbohydrates on an hourly basis for 4–6 hours after exercise helps speed the rate at which glycogen stores are replenished. So, if you’ve consumed POWERBAR RECOVERY PRODUCTS after exercise and a meal isn’t readily available or still isn’t appealing, a repeat serving of the bar or drink is a good idea.
