Exercise causes your body to lose energy and strength. Aerobic exercise such as running tends to deplete glycogen stores in your body and hydrate you. Anaerobic exercise such as weightlifting taxes muscle fibres, breaking or tearing them and making your body ache.

When you push through a tough workout, your muscles are constantly challenged, and their fibres begin to break down and sustain damage. The process of repairing synthesis, uses amino acids from protein to encourage healthy recovery and muscular growth.

If your exercise session is intensive or long enough, drinking a High-Protein Recovery Milk can shorten your recovery time, alleviate muscle pain and even improve strength, power, body composition and exercise performance.

I love First Choice Recovery Milk as it’s ready to drink and formulated with a high protein level.
