Post-workout supplements are designed to aid in muscle recovery and replenish nutrients depleted during exercise. They often contain a combination of ingredients such as protein, carbohydrates, electrolytes, and vitamins.

• Muscle Protein Synthesis: Protein is essential for muscle growth and repair. Consuming protein after a workout helps your body rebuild and repair muscle tissue.
• Replenishing Glycogen Stores: Carbohydrates provide energy for exercise. Post-workout supplementation helps replenish glycogen stores in your muscles.
• Hydration: Electrolytes, such as sodium and potassium, are lost through sweat during exercise. Replenishing these electrolytes helps maintain proper hydration and prevent cramps.

Ideally, consume post-workout supplements within 30-60 minutes after your workout for optimal absorption.

• Protein: Whey protein, casein protein, or plant-based proteins.
• Carbohydrates: Simple sugars like glucose or complex carbohydrates like maltodextrin.
• Electrolytes: Sodium, potassium, magnesium.
• Creatine: To aid in muscle growth and strength.
• Glutamine: To support muscle recovery and immune function.

Some individuals may experience digestive issues, such as bloating or gas, especially with certain types of protein powder.
