Post-Workout supplements are used immediately after training. It is at this time that your muscles are most sensitive to the nutrients you deliver them. What you feed them then is critical, and it is vital you give them the right balance of protein, carbs and other nutrients to facilitate the rapid replenishment of glycogen and transition your body into a positive nitrogen balance to aid muscle and joint repair. Post-workout supplements are designed to deliver this in one package. The post-workout category is limited to products which are specifically formulated for post workout use but most products in the complete formulas, protein or creatine categories can be taken at this time as well to maximise their effectiveness.

No other ingredient is as highly prized as protein. By supplementing with protein your body will recover from exercise more quickly and be provided with the raw material to build up your muscle mass, improve performance and enhance body composition, because you exercise your protein needs are higher than a sedentary person.

Looking for protein on the go? Ready to drink protein shakes are the no mess way of getting your protein fix in double quick time. Easy and convenient to use, they can fit into your gym bag or work bag and therefore make it easy to hit your protein target whilst on the go.

Carbohydrates are the body's preferential source of energy, required to sustain high intensity activity making a high carbohydrate diet optimal for those looking to build muscle and maximise their sporting performance. Those engaging in a high volume of training in particular will need to consume more carbohydrates such as waxy maize and Vitargo, shown to replenish muscle glycogen stores faster than solid food can achieve. It is commonplace for elite athletes to consume some carbohydrate beverages during training and especially after training. The products here can be combined with protein powders to make a mix of nutrients to suit the user or else there are post workout supplements which combine all nutrients together sold separately.

We all have training sessions when our energy levels drop and we feel like leaving early. Combat this fatigue and kick start your muscle recovery mid workout and replenish your glycogen stores to increase your endurance with intra-workout supplements. Intra-workout supplements include BCAAs and EAAs, energised aminos (with caffeine) and glucose/dextrose mixes to give you the energy and pump that you need.

Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's) and Essential Amino Acids (EAA's) are critical to building muscle and strength as well as markedly increasing recovery time thereby allowing you to get back in the gym and training again. There is a considerable body of research supporting the benefits of BCAA's in athletes with research showing regular BCAA use can lead to greater muscle gains, and support the retention of more muscle mass in those who are dieting. The most significant effect noticed by users is the large reduction is soreness after BCAA or EAA supplements are commenced. Due to the breakdown of these amino acids during training it is important that you supplement BCAA or EAA supplements before, during and after training. Our Intra-workout section includes a number of supplements which would be ideal for users looking to supplement these amino acids to to their nutrition and supplement plan.
