How’s working?
● Plastic post-workout energy recovery
● Optimises the anabolic window
Matrix is a specific supplement for post-training and post-competition recovery.
The formulation has been elaborated by referring to the most recent scientific research on the subject, inserting active ingredients of absolute quality in the effective dosage.
It contains a mix of highly hydrolyzed and digestible isolated whey proteins, ISOLAC and OPTIPEP® 90 DH4, with an amino acid profile in the form of 60-65% of di-tripeptides with carbohydrates of fast as well as slower absorption to “exploit” the maximum range of the anabolic window.
In fact, it is believed that, after intense exercise, the body is in a particular physiological condition favourable to recovery of 6-7 hours, during which the repair, reconstruction and recovery of energy supplies are optimal.
Amino acids in the form of di and tripeptides are assimilated in the most effective way.
The intake of specific nutrients 30 minutes after a training optimises this phase, which is essential for athlete’s compensation and for the improvement of their future performance.
The presence of carbohydrates with rapid and prolonged absorption (high molecular weight maltodextrin) enables the maximum restoration of glycogen stocks, and facilitates the repair of muscle microtraumas related to the activity as well as the recovery during the interval of the so-called anabolic window.
The formulation is also enriched in leucine, the branched amino acid, which facilitates muscle repair in this phase more than others, as it activates the muscle satellite cells and mediated mTOR protein synthesis.
Glutamine and alpha-ketoglutarate are the key regulators of the reconstruction processes, as they facilitate the elimination of toxins and the restoration of the immune system.
Betaine is an excellent cellular moisturiser, it has a detoxifying function and appears to be involved in facilitating protein synthesis.
The presence of nucleotides strengthens the immunostimulating action, in particular at the level of intestinal barrier.
Several studies confirm that intense physical exercise contributes to an increase in intestinal permeability and significantly reduces the population of T and NK lymphocytes, that is the body’s innate defences, making the subject more vulnerable to pathogens.
Finally, a significant availability of magnesium in the form of glycerophosphate, which is a highly soluble and bioavailable salt, contributes to a rapid restoration of energy supplies and helps relax the muscle tissue.
Properties
Matrix is indicated to optimise muscle, plastic and energy recovery after intense physical exercise. In this way, it helps to improve the quality of the training, to ensure general physical efficiency and the stability of the athletic condition.
Take 50 g per day (equal to about 3 heaped scoops) dissolved in 500 ml of water or other liquid, preferably 30 minutes after an intense physical activity.
