Recover
Protein, amino acids, glutamine, magnesium and quick carbs for the hours after training.
Frequently asked questions
What should I take after a workout?
A protein shake is the simplest start. Some people add a carb source such as cream of rice, or sip amino acids. Follow the serving on each label.
When should I take glutamine?
Revive MD suggests one scoop in your shake after training, or in water before bed. Once a day is the dose.
Do I need amino acids if I already drink protein shakes?
Not always. Whey already contains all the essential amino acids. An amino drink is useful if you want something light to sip during or after training.
Supplements for after training
What you eat after a session matters as much as the session. Recover groups protein, amino acids, glutamine, magnesium and quick carbs, for the hours after training and the evening that follows.
Protein first
A shake after training is the easy win. Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass. RAW Nutrition's CBUM Itholate gives 25 g of protein a scoop, and Naughty Boy Advanced Whey 2kg is an everyday whey that mixes into milk, water or oats. See every option in protein powder.
Aminos and glutamine
Glutamine by Revive MD is 10 g of L-glutamine a scoop with no flavouring, so it disappears into your shake. If you would rather sip something, Cutler Nutrition Generate gives all nine essential amino acids in a sugar-free drink. More in amino acids.
In the evening
Magnesium Glycinate by Revive MD gives 200 mg of magnesium in two capsules, 53% of the NRV, and many people take it after dinner. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function.
A bowl of flavoured cream of rice from Elev8 or FERAL is a simple carb meal after a session, with a scoop of protein stirred through once it is cooked.
