Post Workout Recovery

Types of post-workout supplements

Post-workout products are taken after training, usually as a shake. This range brings together several types: recovery shakes that combine carbohydrates and protein, EAA and BCAA amino acid powders, glutamine, creatine blends, HMB and hydration or electrolyte drinks. Brands include MuscleTech, Trec Nutrition, Nutrend, Evogen and Applied Nutrition.

Which type should I choose?

An all-in-one recovery formula covers several ingredients in a single scoop, which is convenient if you want one product. If you already use a protein powder, single-ingredient powders such as glutamine or creatine let you build your own combination. Most products are powders, with some capsules and gels.
