Pro Endurance Recovery – Post-Workout Recovery Supplement for Endurance Athletes

Polimero altamente ramificato Amilopectina 6988.8 mg

A high-biological-value carbohydrate from corn starch, used by elite athletes because of its impressive effect on performance, recovery and hydration. Its reduced molecular size and very low osmotic concentration mean it needs less water to be digested, passes the stomach faster and delivers glycogen to the bloodstream more quickly than simple carbohydrates — lowering dehydration risk and speeding absorption.

• Restores muscle glycogen up to 75% faster and passes through the stomach around 75% faster
• Delivers glucose to blood, liver and muscle roughly twice as fast as conventional carbohydrates
• Improves performance by up to 23% and limits muscle protein breakdown by almost 80%
• Low osmolality reduces the risk of cramping and helps transport the other recovery nutrients across cell membranes

Taken after a demanding session or race, it helps prevent muscle loss, replenishes glucose stores and restores hydration inside the muscle cell — while preparing you for the next session.

Triple-Source Glutamine 8.7 g total

Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in the body and the one most depleted by prolonged, intense exercise. A fast rise in blood glutamine after training is one of the strongest levers for rapid recovery, immune support and anti-catabolism. Not all glutamine is the same, which is why Pro Endurance Recovery combines three complementary forms.

L-Glutamine Peptides — 3744 mg

Peptide-bound glutamine is more stable and better assimilated than free-form glutamine. Combining both ensures excellent uptake, absorption and stability in the body. Glutamine peptides are credited with immunomodulatory, anti-catabolic/anabolic, gut-barrier-protective and antioxidant actions. The typical sports supplementation range is 1.5–4.5 g per day as glutamine, with no known reports of overdose.

Kyowa Quality® L-Glutamine — 2995.2 mg

Pharmaceutical-grade L-glutamine from Kyowa Hakko Bio, totally different from commodity glutamine on the market: very fast absorption, very fast action and a clean taste, helping you feel recovered and relaxed a few hours after a demanding session. Kyowa Quality® L-glutamine supports athletic performance and recovery from endurance exercise, promotes muscle growth and reduces muscle wasting, helps reduce injury risk, supports the immune system and inflammation control, and supports brain and gastrointestinal health. Because glutamine raises glucose levels, use it after — not before or during — training.

L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine — 1996.8 mg

A clinically tested dipeptide (as used in Sustamine®) that bonds L-glutamine — the amino acid that stimulates muscle protein synthesis — to L-alanine, needed to rebuild glycogen stores. Produced by a novel enzymatic process, this true dipeptide is far smaller than a complete protein and is absorbed rapidly and intact. It is designed to help the body re-hydrate, replenish and recover, and research suggests it may also support immune and intestinal health. Pro Endurance Recovery delivers a massive ~2000 mg of pure, vegetarian, allergen-free L-alanyl-L-glutamine per serving.

L-Asparagina 998.4 mg

One of the principal amino acids involved in nitrogen transport, required by every cell for protein production and an essential component of proteins involved in signalling and nerve transmission. Asparagine is highly active in converting one amino acid into another (amination and transamination) when the body needs it, serves as an amino donor in the liver, helps maintain central-nervous-system balance, and — like glutamine — is important for the metabolism of ammonia produced during hard training. Both asparagine and glutamine are made with high-energy ATP and can return that energy when they metabolise back to aspartic and glutamic acid.

L-Taurina 873.6 mg

Taurine is not a stimulant. It is an amino acid that acts as a vasodilator, improving the transport of oxygen and nutrients to muscle and organs, and its greatest role in recovery is cytoprotection — protecting the cell itself. Exercise stress destabilises and damages muscle cells through oxidative stress; taurine is a powerful antioxidant and membrane-stabilising agent that has been shown to reduce exercise-induced muscle damage, reduce inflammation associated with cellular damage and speed recovery.

• Maintains proper hydration and electrolyte balance in your cells
• Regulates minerals such as calcium within the cell
• Supports central-nervous-system and eye function, immune health and antioxidant defence
• Supports insulin sensitivity and bile-salt formation for digestion

Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) 748.8 mg · 936% NRV

Now 15% more than our previous formula. Vitamin C helps clear excess cortisol after hard training, is a key antioxidant, and is essential for collagen formation — the protein that builds tendons, ligaments, cartilage, skin and blood vessels. It supports the healing and repair of connective tissue, protects the immune system during heavy training blocks, contributes to protein metabolism and improves the absorption of other nutrients. Vitamin C also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

L-Arginine Hydrochloride 748.8 mg

Arginine is a vasodilator: it widens veins and arteries so blood flows faster throughout the body, helping every other ingredient arrive at your cells quickly for a very fast recovery phase. Arginine also influences many physiological processes; a 2010 review in the Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology and Therapeutics links arginine supplementation to increased growth-hormone release, which the pituitary gland uses to facilitate tissue repair.

Magnesium Bisglycinate + Magnesium Gluconate 1248 mg · 176.4 mg elemental · 47% NRV

A new addition: 1250 mg of two highly absorbable, gentle magnesium forms. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, electrolyte balance, energy-yielding metabolism, protein synthesis, nervous-system function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Endurance athletes lose magnesium through sweat and urine, and low status is linked to cramping and poor sleep — two enemies of recovery. Bisglycinate is bound to glycine for superior absorption without laxative effect; gluconate adds a second, fast-dissolving organic form.

Cluster Dextrin® (Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin) 700.8 mg

A patented carbohydrate made from waxy corn starch using a specific branching enzyme, with an exceptionally high molecular weight (~400,000 g/mol versus 180 g/mol for glucose) and a narrow size distribution. The result: very high solubility, very low osmolality and resistance to retrogradation.

• Passes through the stomach and into the small intestine much faster than glucose or standard maltodextrin
• Easy on the gut — none of the gastrointestinal discomfort of conventional sports carbs
• Provides a steady rise in blood glucose rather than an acute spike, so no energy swings or insulin surge
• Initiates the muscle recovery process and refuels muscle glycogen, creating a more anabolic environment when combined with alanyl-glutamine, Kyowa® glutamine and glutamine peptides

Tart Cherry Extract 30:1 (Prunus cerasus) 499.2 mg = ~15 g fruit equivalent

A massive 500 mg dose of 30:1 concentrate — the equivalent of roughly 15 g of dried tart cherry per scoop. Tart cherry is one of the best-researched natural recovery ingredients, primarily because of its anthocyanins and other polyphenols, which inhibit inflammatory pathways and neutralise free radicals.

• Improved muscle recovery: studies show reduced muscle damage, soreness and strength loss after exercise, leading to faster recovery
• Reduced inflammation and oxidative stress after prolonged endurance events
• Better sleep: tart cherries are a natural source of melatonin and tryptophan, supporting the sleep–wake cycle — the most powerful recovery tool you have
• Brain support: research indicates tart cherry polyphenols may support cognitive function, memory and alertness

HydroCurc® — LipiSperse® Liposomal Curcumin 249.6 mg · 212 mg curcuminoids

Powered by HydroCurc® with LipiSperse® award-winning dispersion technology. Curcuminoids — the active compounds of turmeric — are among the most potent antioxidants in the natural world and well-documented support for inflammation control, muscle, joint, cognitive, heart and overall health. The problem has always been absorption: turmeric contains less than 5% curcumin and standard extracts are poorly absorbed and rapidly eliminated.

HydroCurc® uses Pharmako Biotechnologies’ patented LipiSperse® technology to let curcuminoid particles disperse freely in water — and in the aqueous environment of the stomach — so bioavailability rises dramatically without needing piperine.

• Enhanced bioavailability: superior water dispersion delivers curcuminoids faster and at the highest levels on the market
• Higher active load: over 90% active ingredient, versus ~20% curcumin plus carrier in many products
• Clinically validated: a published human pharmacokinetic study showed HydroCurc® delivers 807 ng/mL curcuminoids in plasma from a single dose
• Powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant action, supporting joint comfort, muscle recovery, cognitive function, liver and digestive health

DigeZyme® Multi-Enzyme Complex 124.8 mg

A unique, proprietary blend of five plant-derived (microbial, fermentation-produced, vegan-friendly) digestive enzymes that make sure every gram of the formula is actually broken down and absorbed — and that your post-workout meal that follows is digested efficiently.

• α-Amylase — breaks down starch, glycogen and polysaccharides into smaller units
• Proteasi — breaks down proteins and peptides, supports immune function
• Lipasi — breaks down fats, improves fat utilisation and supports gallbladder function
• Cellulasi — breaks down cellulose and chitin, freeing nutrients from fruit and vegetables
• Lattasi — breaks down lactose, useful for those sensitive to milk sugar

Enzyme supplementation helps the digestive system cope with the stress of sudden dietary changes, travel, environmental exposure and heavy training loads.

Senactiv® — Panax notoginseng & Rosa canina Extracts 49.92 mg

A patented combination of notoginseng and rosehip extracts that acts as an effectiveness multiplier: it helps the other ingredients absorb faster and better and strengthens their effect. Senactiv® is studied for its support of muscle cell regeneration and the clearance of senescent (worn-out) muscle cells after exercise, and the two botanicals additionally support energy, stress resilience, relaxation, inflammation control, brain function, immune function, metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Selenium (L-Selenomethionine) 74.4 µg · 135% NRV

Long-term endurance training increases oxygen consumption by 1000–1500% compared with a sedentary person, placing constant oxidative stress on the body. Selenium is a component of glutathione peroxidase, the body’s master antioxidant enzyme, and helps protect cells and cell membranes from oxidative stress. Supplementing with the highly bioavailable selenomethionine form may buffer some of the oxidative load of strenuous exercise — meaning less cell damage and quicker repair and recovery. Selenium also contributes to normal immune and thyroid function.

Vitamina D3 (colecalciferolo) 18 µg (720 IU) · 360% NRV

Recent studies show a clear correlation between vitamin D3 status and muscle recovery: higher levels of vitamin D3 result in less muscle fatigue and better recovery post-exercise. Vitamin D contributes to normal muscle function, immune function and the maintenance of normal bones — and most athletes training indoors or through northern winters are below optimal.

Copper (Cupric Gluconate) 0.26 mg · 26% NRV

Copper gluconate is a high-absorption form of copper, a trace mineral essential for connective-tissue formation, iron transport and oxygen delivery. For athletes it helps speed recovery from sports strains and sprains, supports wound and tissue healing, may delay time to exhaustion and enhance endurance by improving oxygenation, and supports normal energy metabolism and the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

BioPerine® — Black Pepper Extract 95% Piperine 1.92 mg · 1.82 mg piperine

Makes every other ingredient work better. BioPerine® from Sabinsa is a patented, standardised black pepper extract (Piper nigrum) containing not less than 95% piperine — the clinically proven natural bioavailability enhancer. It increases blood supply to the GI tract, improves the emulsifying content of the gut and increases active nutrient transport. According to the manufacturer’s research, BioPerine® increases the absorption of selenium by ~30%, beta-carotene by ~60% and vitamin B6 by 140–250%, and improves the uptake of vitamin C, coenzyme Q10 and other nutrients. Piperine itself has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.
