Protein is critical for building and maintaining bone, muscle and skin. Consuming protein following intensive exercise has been shown to promote muscle protein synthesis, inhibit protein breakdown and promote muscle glycogen restoration. This results in improved muscle adaptations and increased muscle strength and function¹. Due to its rapid digestion, whey protein is most effective in stimulating muscle protein synthesis during post-exercise recovery^1-3.

Whether a weekend warrior or a serious athlete, good nutritional strategies are vitally important. In particular recovery strategies ensure that training gains are optimised and that subsequent training sessions can be performed effectively. Intense exercise results in increased protein breakdown and reduced protein synthesis. Consuming protein post exercise results in a reversal of these processes, and leads to increased muscle strength. For muscle growth to occur muscle synthesis rates must exceed muscle protein breakdown rates^1-3.

The specific amino acid composition of Red8 whey protein assists in stimulating muscle protein synthesis. Red8 whey protein is a rich source of branch chain amino acids (BCAAÕs) and has been formulated to allow for rapid digestion and absorption which allows essential amino acids to reach damaged muscles faster. Net protein balance will remain negative in the absence of food intake. Consuming whey protein following exercise increases the availability of BCAAÕs and enhances muscle regeneration^1-3.

Whey protein is suitable for use in a wide range of sports. Strength and power athletes have greater protein requirements than endurance athletes and athletes of all types have a greater requirement than sedentary individuals².
