Benefits of Mike’s Mix Recovery Drink

Whether you’re training to mold a six pack of abs or qualify for the Ironman, no factor is more crucial to your success than consistent, strong and productive workouts. That is why for the past 30 years sports nutrition research has focused on nutritional considerations that optimize recovery. Mike’s Mix Recovery Drinks are formulated with a comprehensive understanding of this research, and with thousands of products sold we have never had a complaint that our drinks weren’t powerfully effective!


WHY A RECOVERY DRINK?

Mike's Mix Recovery Drinks are very versatile and serve a diversity of athletes, so what is your goal?

Muscle Building:

The 45 minutes immediately following exercise is referred to as the metabolic window of opportunity and it is within this time that your body is most primed to begin anabolic processes to increase strength and muscle mass. The right amount and composition of nutrients must be ingested at this time to maximize gains in strength and size. It is common knowledge that strength athletes have much higher protein requirements than recommended for the general population and consequently, protein is often supplemented post workout. However, the importance of carbohydrate in muscle repair and growth has for the most part remained a secret. Ingesting high glycemic carbohydrate immediately after exercise stimulates the insulin response and blunts cortisol release. This sets the stage for optimal protein synthesis within the muscles. This has been well documented with research where a carbohydrate protein recovery drink increased protein synthesis by 38% more compared to the ingestion of protein alone.  Mike's Mix recovery drinks supply you with the optimal blend of protein and carbohydrates to maximize the insulin response and provides amino acids necessary for muscular growth.

Toning and Weight Loss:

One of the least discussed benefits of a recovery drink is its role in appetite control. Feelings of hunger are suppressed after exercise, which often leads to a delay in eating. Exercise induced appetite suppression is short lived and when your hunger returns it often does so with a vengeance. Can you relate to the late night ice cream craving? Our recovery drinks supply you with the right calories at the appropriate time; when your body is recovering from its workout. This will help you avoid the calorie deficit that causes uncontrollable cravings and the overeating that often follows. On top of this, a recovery drink will assure quality workouts and help reduce soreness associated with your training.

Endurance Athletes:

The best predictor for any endurance athlete’s performance is the amount of glycogen present in the body before an event or workout.  Glycogen is your body’s way of storing carbohydrates needed for fuel during athletic activity. The more glycogen you accumulate, the greater your performance potential. After exercise your muscles are severely glycogen deprived and if you fail to restore it, subsequent workouts will suffer. What’s more, only a short window of time exists post-workout to replenish glycogen effectively. Mike's Mix Recovery Drinks work by quickly and efficiently replenishing your body’s glycogen.
