Elite Recovery Mix

Post-run, your muscles are low on glycogen and are
vulnerable to damage and soreness. At this stage, your body is also depleted of
electrolytes and hydration. If the body is not supplied with the proper
recovery supplementation within 20 minutes of completing your activity, it is
susceptible to injury, muscle damage, and fatigue.

The window of 20 minutes immediately after your activity is
when your body is also the most receptive to a recovery drink formulated with
the ideal ingredients. When the right nutrients are consumed within this
crucial 20-minute window, the body is amenable to directing these nutrients
toward recovery processes and the muscles are most primed to assimilate the
nutrients that it needs to restore levels of glycogen aiding muscle repair and
promoting the building of new muscle. If you do not recover completely, you are
more susceptible to physical and mental damage, which negatively impacts your
training and performance.

Consuming multiple food sources for recovery after exercise
can cause stomach distress. Additionally, the nutrients in these foods cannot
be broken down immediately by the body, which means that you risk losing out on
the 20-minute window. Unived Elite Recovery Mix offers a concentrated,
convenient source of all the nutrients you need for recovery, delivered to your
body in a manner where they can be instantly broken down and utilized by the
body and ensures optimal, scientific recovery.

For Formulation

Unived Elite Recovery Mix is formulated with 40 grams of
dextrose & maltodextrin (high GI carbohydrates) and 10 grams of plant-based
organic Pea Protein Isolate(s source of the full spectrum of branched-chain
amino acids) in a ratio of 4:1. Along with carbs and proteins, essential
electrolytes (sodium, chloride, magnesium, and potassium), key vitamins
(vitamin C, plant-based vitamin K2-7, and plant-based vitamin D3) and
phytonutrients (KSM-66® Ashwagandha and Curcumin).

Sports nutrition research has proven time and again that the
window of up to 20 minutes after intense exercise – the ‘golden window of
opportunity’ – is when the body is most accepting of nutrients to recover from
strenuous exercise. Evidence shown that when carbohydrates and protein – two of
the most important macronutrients – are ingested in the ratio of 4:1, they are
utilized in the most effective manner towards the body’s recovery.

Mode of Action:

4:1 Carbohydrates to Protein:

a. Carbohydrates:

• Stabilizes blood glucose levels
• Refuels muscle glycogen
• Promotes the repair of muscle, and the development of new
  muscle tissue.

b. Protein:

• Aids protein synthesis, complete tissue repair and growth,
  and recovery.
• Builds new muscles.

Essential Electrolytes:

• Restores electrolytes lost to sweat
• Regulates hydration across cells and major organs.

Key Vitamins:

a. Vitamin C:

• Anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory actions

b. Vitamin K2-7:

• Gives relief from muscle cramps.
• Improves cardiorespiratory fitness.

c. Vitamin D3:

• Support optimal bone health
• Aid in injury prevention.

Phytonutrients:

a. KSM-66® Ashwagandha (most clinically studied and
clinically proven):

• Produces a 98.9% reduction in the post-exercise build-up of
  serum creatine kinase levels indicating less degree of muscle damage.
• Increase cardiorespiratory endurance.
• Improve maximum resistance load and muscle recovery.
• Offers stress relief.

b. Curcumin:

• Reduce inflammation.
• Offset some of the performance deficits associated with
  exercise-induced muscle damage.
