Understand the purpose of the Fuel + Recovery WHAT? Balance Training System
Everyday nutrition to support hard training and rapid recovery. High performing supplements formulated to cover the spectrum of demands created by regular training.
A basic training schedule, demonstrating adequate rest periods between similar sets of exercise, may look something like this:

dietary protein in a convenient form that helps quantify actual daily protein intake levels and make sure targets are achieved. In addition to Whey Protein Isolates discussed in Module2, some of the common dietary sources of protein used in formulated protein powders include:
As a result of ultra-ltration manufacturing process, WPC is an excellent source of protein, typically with a content greater than 80%. WPC may contain small amounts of fat, although much of the lactose and minerals have been removed.
Increases the digestion and absorption rate by partially digesting the complex protein into smaller chains of amino acids called peptides. Can reduce the incidence of allergy. Aside from Whey, Casein is the other major protein fraction in cows milk. An excellent source of Glutamine. Historically referred to as the ideal protein. Rich in Arginine, an amino acid believed to aid the release of human growth hormone and Nitric Oxide (NO2) and consequently muscle development. A high-quality vegetable source of protein. Low in fat and cholesterol free, soy protein is ideal for vegetarian athletes and those with dairy allergies.

For athletes committed to developing lean muscle mass and looking for an extra boost to muscle growth, this advanced formula blends Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate and Hydrolysed Whey to deliver around 23g of protein per serve. Additional free-form amino acids, Arginine and Glutamine are included to encourage the muscle development process and promote positive nitrogen balance. Balance Fuel + Recovery 100% Whey Protein is the ideal choice before and after exercise to meet the heavy demands of training.

GLUtaMINE
If the dietary intake is inadequate, increased muscle breakdown, which can occur during intense exercise, will result in the release of the amino acid Glutamine (from muscle tissue) into the circulation to provide energy and a source of free nitrogen. Increased Glutamine during exercise is required to fuel immune cells, detoxify the body and for the formation of required proteins and glycogen. Note: Glutamine makes up approximately 60% of your dry muscle weight, therefore it makes sense that supplementation may result in an increase in muscle tissue. Also Glutamine may assist in the transportation of the other amino acids into the muscle. Glutamine intake studies have shown that athletes who supplement with Glutamine enhance their performance and gain muscle. Studies are based on 0.2kg/kg/day of supplemental Glutamine. Best times for supplementation is upon rising, before training, after training and before bed.

Looking more closely at the bodys need for protein during exercise, it is clear that some amino acids are needed in greater amounts than others. Achieving the correct amino acid prole means consuming a varied intake of protein rich foods. The changing demand for amino acids depends upon the roles they play within the body. If one particular amino acid is drained from the pool of free amino acids circulating within the body, the formation of new proteins will be adversely affected. The mechanics of the supply and demand for amino acids are illustrated as follows:
GLUTAMINE 1000
Supply from dietary intake of protein
Glutamine provides 80% of the bodys free nitrogen and is important to help maintain positive nitrogen balance following intense exercise.
Assist recovery post exercise Help maintain positive nitrogen balance Helps maintain healthy digestive function
WHO SHOULD USE IT?
Tri- and team sports competitors, bodybuilders and weighttraining individuals, elite athletes.
Demand for the synthesis of structural proteins i.e. muscle and bone tissue
NUTRITIONAL support
BraNchED ChaIN AMINo AcIDS
Of all the amino acids, the Branched Chain Amino Acids (Isoleucine, Leucine and Valine), are particularly important, given their vital role in muscle repair and recovery. The BCAAs are heavily utilised as an energy source and can, during prolonged exercise, be converted into glucose (carbohydrate) energy to help sustain performance. This can result in increased muscle breakdown and associated damage and soreness, as additional BCAAs are released into circulation. Vitamins and minerals play a variety of critical roles within the body, and the demands of sustained exercise can result in an increased need for these micronutrients to full their optimal function. The athletes requirement for vitamins and minerals may be greater than that recommended for the general public. However, greatly exceeding the recommended daily intakes is not recommended and does not result in extra benets on performance than simply meeting demand the

Physiological Function
Vitamin C to help improve recovery and reduce oxidation 38g of high Glycemic Carbs to improve insulin response which increases muscle amino acid uptake and reduces cortisol (a muscle breakdown hormone) 19 other additional vitamins and minerals to help with faster recovery and absorption of nutrients The research supporting these ingredients is well documented, so athletes can be sure of the positive results that they will offer. Intense training requires fast recovery; the Ultimate Recovery Stack ensures this objective will be met. Full recovery means good quality and intense training can be achieved every time.
