Athletic recovery
(post-activity recovery)
Hydration works to replenish fluids lost through sweat and re-hydrate muscle fibers to prevent breakdown of muscle tissue which can lead to kidney damage if untreated.
Antioxidants vitamin C and CoQ10 may help alleviate pain that is worsened by increased free radicals and oxidative stress.
IV ketorolac as an NSAID, helps to decrease swelling, pain, or fever in as little as 30 minutes with effects lasting up to 6 hours.
L-carnitine alleviates muscle injury and reduces markers of cellular damage and free radical formation accompanied by attenuation of muscle soreness.
Taurine has antioxidant and cytoprotective action within skeletal muscle, helping decrease exercise-induced muscle damage and enhance the rate of performance recovery.
How we can help
Provide nutrients and antioxidants to reduce free radicals and decrease oxidative damage
Provide hydration post activity to accelerate clearance of lactic acid buildup from the muscles and provide
Replenish lost sodium and chloride to restore body’s electrolyte balance
