Post Workout Supplements are taken after a training session. The goal of proper post-workout nutrition is to efficiently and rapidly assist the body in the growth, repair and recovery of trained muscle tissue, providing it with the raw materials it needs to rebuild itself. After completion of your workout, consuming your postworkout nutrition as soon as possible is vital, ideally within 30 minutes. This will help the body to leave its catabolic (muscle breakdown) state, and move into the anabolic (muscle building) state. Key nutrients in your post-workout meal should rely heavily on protein and carbohydrates. Protein will begin to repair the muscle fibres, while the carbohydrates will begin to restore low glycogen levels. Consuming high glycemic carbohydrates such as fruit juice post-workout is quite important, as this will help to create an insulin spike, creating an excellent transport system for all the nutrients to reach the muscle cells.
