The most crucial time for maximizing muscle growth and results is immediately post-workout as this is when muscle tissue is most sensitive to the anabolic effects of resistance training. Of course, a protein-rich meal or shake is essential after a tough workout, but for optimizing recovery and muscle repair, the body needs targeted “recharging” nutrients that are backed by scientific research and clinical studies. This is precisely why we formulated Transparent Labs Post-Workout with clinical doses of science-based ingredients, including Betapure™, Vitacherry®, Astragin™, Beta-Alanine, L-Glutamine, and L-Carnitine L-Tartrate.
These ingredients work synergistically to bolster nitric oxide (NO) production, reduce delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), facilitate muscle protein synthesis, enhance insulin sensitivity in muscle tissue, and augment gut health so your body is primed for recovery and muscle growth.
Directions: As a dietary supplement, mix one scoop of Post with 16-20oz of water after a workout
Serving Size: 1 Scoop
L-Glutamine - 5000 mg
Glutamine is a naturally occurring nonessential amino acid and is most well known for its role as a constituent of proteins, and as a means of nitrogen transport between tissues. In fact, glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in human muscle and plasma.
Clinical research has shown that intramuscular glutamine levels:
-
Play an important role in protein synthesis. [11]
-
Glutamine appears to inhibit protein breakdown of soluble, rather than myofibrillar, protein in muscle. [12]
-
Glutamine infusion may exert its protein anabolic effect by increasing protein synthesis. [13]
Betaine Anhydrous (as Betapure™) - 2500 mg
Recent clinical studies suggest that betaine supplementation triggers a significant muscle growth response. This response is independent of testosterone and is significantly advantageous alongside typical supplementation protocols.
Betaine supplementation has also been shown to:
-
Reduce fatigue when taken before and during weight training [34, 35].
-
Increases total repetitions and volume on the bench press exercise versus placebo [37].
In a recent study, betaine was found to significantly increase IGF-1, while decreasing cortisol in bodybuilding men [38].
L-Carnitine L-Tartrate - 2000 mg
Beta-Alanine - 2000mg
Supplementing with beta-alanine has been proven to increase cellular carnosine levels, which are quickly depleted during intense exercise [28, 29].
Supplementing with proper dosing is shown to:
-
Delay the onset of neuromuscular fatigue in men and women during intense exercise [30]
-
Provide a tingling sensation, which can be more aggressive (depending on tolerance), which is is normal and safe [33]
-
Reduce and combat the formation of altered proteins and promote the formation of healthy proteins [31]
-
Significantly increase lean mass and decrease fat in wrestlers [32]
Tart Cherry Powder (as Vitacherry®) - 500 mg
VitaCherry® is a patented tart cherry (Montmorency cherry) powder standardized to provide a rich profile of beneficial anthocyanins and antioxidant polyphenols, as well as B vitamins, calcium, magnesium, iron and omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs). Tart cherries have been shown in multiple human studies of elite athletes to reduce post-exercise muscle soreness and enhance muscle recovery by nearly double that of placebo.[1],[2]
In fact, VitaCherry® is 15x more concentrated in the specific anthocyanins associated with reducing inflammation after vigorous exercise than generic tart cherry powders.[3] The richness of antioxidants and anthocyanins in VitaCherry® tart cherry powder can also help control inflammation and support joint integrity, both of which are crucial for athletic performance and physical activity.[4],[5]
