Osmo Nutrition has introduced the Rapid Recovery drink mix.
Developed to be easily dissolvable while still giving the same post-workout benefits, Osmo Rapid Recovery provides a “full-body refuel in a single beverage”.
Each component of the new formula has been selected by Osmo to achieve specific goals in aiding athlete recovery during the ‘Golden Window’, which is the acute recovery phase immediately following exercise.
Based on peer-reviewed science, Rapid Recovery was formulated as a one-stop post-workout beverage, with a combination of complete proteins, easily-digested carbohydrates, and caffeine from green tea to promote muscle repair and boost glycogen replenishment.
Rapid Recovery uses two proteins proven to halt muscular breakdown post-workout; whey is a fast-acting protein while casein is longer-lasting. The addition of simple carbohydrates maximises muscle glycogen replenishment, promotes muscle growth and reduces muscle soreness. The small amount of caffeine with carbohydrates and protein has been shown to accelerate glycogen resynthesis by 66% over carbohydrates and protein alone, Osmo has said.
