Ingredients explained
Pea protein
Provides a complete source of essential amino acids that supply building blocks for muscle protein synthesis and post-exercise recovery.
Caution: Start with a smaller amount if you are new to plant proteins to assess digestive tolerance.
Bifidobacterium lactis Bl-04
Colonizes the gut and may support a balanced intestinal microbiota, which can aid digestion and comfort.
Caution: If you are sensitive to probiotics, begin with a partial serving to gauge tolerance as transient gas or bloating may occur.
Tart cherry (fruit)
Provides polyphenols and anthocyanins that may help counter exercise-induced oxidative stress.
Caution: May affect those sensitive to fruit concentrates; monitor for stomach discomfort.
Turmeric (root)
Supplies curcuminoids that may help modulate inflammatory signaling pathways after strenuous activity.
Caution: Best taken with food for comfort; consult a professional if using high-dose turmeric supplements or if you have gallbladder concerns.
Cranberry protein (seed)
Adds additional plant protein and polyphenols that contribute amino acids and antioxidant support.
Caution: Those with sensitivity to berry seeds should monitor for digestive discomfort.
How they work together
Pea and cranberry seed proteins provide essential amino acids for muscle protein synthesis, while tart cherry and turmeric add polyphenols that address exercise-related oxidative stress. Bifidobacterium lactis Bl-04 supports digestive balance, which can help with protein tolerance and nutrient uptake.
