AFTER GLOW is the ultimate weapon in an athlete’s gym bag looking to maximize their gains. AFTER GLOW was designed to amplify the most important phase of the athlete’s training program: “The Post-Workout Phase” – known to athletes as the “Anabolic Window”. AFTER GLOW brings you 20g of protein for optimal muscle protein synthesis, 30g carbs for restoring depleted glycogen levels, 5g BCAAs for preventing muscle breakdown, 5g EAAs paired with Betaine to limit cortisol release and minimize catabolism, Creatine MagnaPower® to build and maintain muscles, 5g Glutamine for resynthesizing carbs and speeding recovery, Antioxidants to destroy free radicals, and Electrolytes to optimize cell hydration. Don’t leave your post-workout recovery to chance – Make sure AFTER GLOW is in your supplement arsenal.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND AFTER GLOW

20g Protein – A 2014 study confirmed the optimal dose of 20g most effectively stimulated muscle protein synthesis—the process that helps promote the muscle repair and growth after exercise.

30g Carbohydrates – The evaporated cane juice in AFTER GLOW triggers the release of an anabolic hormone restoring depleted glycogen levels (increasing energy) and acts as an absorption shuttle for multiple micronutrients present to support full body recovery.

5g BCAA – BCAAs are great because they’re almost instantaneously digested and sent into your bloodstream. Taking a BCAA supplement after you train is important because BCAAs can help prevent muscle breakdown. Replacing lost BCAAs post-workout helps keep your body anabolic, which is important whether you’re slimming or bulking.

5g EAA – Pairing EAAs with carbs can help you limit cortisol release and minimize catabolism allowing you to recover and add muscle more quickly. Studies show the synergistic effect of EAAs and carb ingestion maximizes the anabolic response of resistance training by limiting the post-exercise rise in protein degradation and inhibiting post-training cortisol release.

5g Glutamine – is critical for resynthesizing carbohydrates after your workout session. Immediately following weight lifting, the muscles will be depleted of their glycogen reserves, which is why taking in that post-workout shake as soon as possible is so incredibly important. The faster you can replenish those stores, the faster you will recover from that workout, which means you’ll be that much more prepared when you go into the gym for your next workout session. The Glutamine in AFTER GLOW can actually speed up the recovery process that takes place, which will not only make you feel better immediately following a workout but will increase your ability to build more muscle tissue.

Electrolytes – Electrolytes are essential to physical activity because they regulate bodily fluids. Optimize cell hydration and muscular contractile function after brutal training conditions by employing hypercritical and vital electrolytes.

Antioxidants – Antioxidants form a front line defense against cell damage caused by free radicals. Antioxidants are substances that destroy free radicals — harmful compounds in the body that damage DNA (genetic material) and even cause cell death. Free radicals are believed to contribute to aging, as well as the development of a number of health problems, including heart disease and cancer.

RAPID RECOVERY MATRIX

L-Glutamine – is critical for resynthesizing carbohydrates after your workout session. The Glutamine in AFTER GLOW can actually speed up the recovery process that takes place, which will not only make you feel better immediately following a workout but will increase your ability to build more muscle tissue.

Creatine MagnaPower® – is a patented combination of creatine and magnesium, which facilitates VITAL oxygen delivery to working muscle tissue. CREATINE MAGNAPOWER helps build and maintain ALL the muscles in the body. Pairing Creatine MagnaPower® with the carbs found in AFTER GLOW maximizes creatine uptake by muscle cells.

Betaine – has been added to the AFTER GLOW blend because of its ability to boost greater levels of muscle protein synthesis while at the same time decrease cortisol levels. It makes sense to take a dose of Betaine on both ends of your intense training, this is when you work hardest to create an anabolic environment.

Taurine – Supplementing with taurine post workout can lead to a significant enhancement of the already elevated glycogen synthesis.

AFTER GLOW BCAA MATRIX

L-Leucine – L-Leucine is often called “The Anabolic Trigger” because it stimulates protein synthesis and ignites anabolic reactions within the body, accelerating the process of muscle growth and repair.

L-Isoleucine – is best known for its ability to increase endurance and help heal and repair muscle tissue. This amino acid is especially important to serious athletes and body builders because its primary function in the body is to boost energy and help the body recover from strenuous physical activity.

L-Valine – works with the other two BCAAs, isoleucine and leucine, to promote normal growth, repair tissues, regulate blood sugar, and provide the body with energy. Valine helps prevent the breakdown of muscle by supplying the muscles with extra glucose for energy production during intense physical activity. Valine also helps remove potentially toxic excess nitrogen from the liver, and is able to transport nitrogen to other tissues in the body as needed.

AFTER GLOW EAA MATRIX

Lysine – promotes the formation of both collagen and muscle protein, and speeds recovery.

Threonine – helps keep connective tissues and muscles throughout the body strong and elastic, and speeds recovery.

Phenylalanine – is an important building block of protein synthesis. The body needs phenylalanine to make epinephrine, dopamine, and norepinephrine.

Arginine – L-arginine is a crucial part of your post workout recovery because it assists in anabolic growth-hormone secretion and aids in clearing waste products from your muscles. This helps increase lean muscle mass/strength/power, promotes faster recovery from exercise, and improves the work capacity of active muscles.

Methionine – is essential for the formation of healthy collagen used to form connective tissue, and also helps the body process and eliminate fat.

Histidine – is used to develop and maintain healthy tissues in all parts of the body.

Tryptophan – Your body converts tryptophan into the B vitamin niacin, which is essential for metabolizing food into energy.

ANTIOXIDANT MATRIX

Ascorbic Acid – Vitamin C has been shown to have some anti-catabolic effects that involves decreasing exercise induced cortisol.

Pomegranate Powder – is brought to the AFTER GLOW blend for its key abilities in reducing muscle soreness and providing faster strength returns post-workout. Along with protecting the body from damage caused by free radicals and toxins, Pomegranate Powder also increases power production, oxygen efficiency, and blood flow.

Grape Seed Powder – substantially increases levels of antioxidants in the blood. Antioxidants are substances that destroy free radicals — harmful compounds in the body that damage DNA and even cause cell death.

ELECTROLYTE MATRIX

Potassium Glycinate Complex (Albion) – Is crucial in helping to maintain a proper fluid balance in your body. Potassium also plays a role in the storage of carbohydrates to fuel your muscles. In addition, the frequency and degree to which your muscles contract depends heavily on having the right amount of potassium in the body.

Magnesium Bisglycinate Chelate (TRAACS) – Whether you’re strength training or aerobic training, magnesium is crucial for post-workout recovery. It helps to protect against inflammation and thus greatly increases recovery from strenuous activity.

Vitamin B6 – is necessary for protein metabolism, and can increase growth hormone levels.

Vitamin B12 (as Methylcobalamin) – helps to ensure nutrient conversion to energy. It also assists with energy production in the sense that it helps to keep red blood cells healthy, thus enhancing their ability to carry oxygen and nutrients around the body.
