Vitakruid Elite post-workout woman BCAA 4:1:1 & electrolytes Foods rich in BCAAs
BCAAs, or branched-chain amino acids, are a valuable addition to your post-workout routine. They consist of the three essential amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine, which naturally occur in protein and play a key role in muscle recovery and building after your workout.
Foods rich in electrolytes
After a heavy workout, it's not only important to consume BCAAs but also to maintain your fluid balance. When you sweat, you lose not only water but also important electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium. You can replenish these electrolytes by choosing foods like avocados, bananas, coconut water, and dark leafy greens, including spinach.
Elite Post Workout Woman
Our Post Workout Woman contains a powerful blend of nutrients, such as BCAAs, Glutamine, electrolytes and green tea extract.
The women's formula has been carefully formulated to meet the lower body weight and unique physiological needs of women. With 4824 mg of L-Leucine, 4% less than the men's formula, and 4000 mg of L-Glutamine, 11% less, it provides precisely the right dosages. What makes this formula extra special is the addition of 500 mg of green tea extract. This carefully tailored composition takes into account the specific energy needs and muscle mass of women, ensuring optimal support for the body.
Green tea extract with unique benefits
Green tea plays an important role in our Post Workout Woman, thanks to the carefully selected extract, standardized to catechins (400 mg) and EGCG (250 mg), it ensures optimal functioning to support your goals.
Rich in BCAAs and L-Glutamine: building blocks of proteins
BCAAs and L-Glutamine are a core component of our Post Workout Man. These essential amino acids occur naturally in proteins.
BCAAs of completely plant origin
Our Post Workout Man contains exclusively 100% plant-based BCAAs, sustainably sourced from cassava glucose. This makes it an ideal choice for conscious athletes.
From raw material to final product: the production process
Quality assurance: The raw materials are thoroughly tested for pesticides and heavy metals to ensure the highest purity.
Natural fermentation process: cassava glucose is converted into high-quality BCAAs through fermentation of microorganisms.
Preparation: The amino acids are finely ground and sieved to create a uniform particle size.
Mixing: The BCAAs are mixed in an optimal 4:1:1 ratio and supplemented with purified water for a homogeneous end product.
Drying: After drying, the final product is checked for moisture content and stability, which extends shelf life.
Thanks to this progressive approach, our BCAAs fit seamlessly into a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.
BCAAs in the best 4:1:1 ratio
Our formula contains BCAAs in a carefully chosen 4:1:1 ratio, combining four parts leucine with one part isoleucine and one part valine. But why this specific ratio?
Research shows that of the three amino acids, leucine has the greatest impact on stimulating protein synthesis.
With this well-considered ratio, you'll get the full power of your post-workout supplement!
High dose L-Glutamine
L-Glutamine is also an important amino acid, especially after physical exertion. Exercise depletes glutamine levels in your muscles. L-Glutamine helps replenish these reserves.
We recommend using this Post Workout Man immediately after your workout and drinking your whey protein shake two hours later.
Improved absorption thanks to AstraGin®
Our Post Workout Man is completed with AstraGin®, a patented complex of bioactive compounds derived from the roots of Astragalus membranaceus and Panax notoginseng. This unique ingredient is known to promote the absorption of key nutrients, such as amino acids and minerals. By increasing the bioavailability of these substances, AstraGin® helps your body utilize them optimally.
