Muscle Support & Recovery Supplements

The Science of Neuromuscular Repair

When muscles are pushed during activity, tiny micro-tears can occur and byproducts like lactate build up, which can contribute to temporary soreness. Supporting muscle recovery involves two key areas: keeping electrolytes in balance and providing the building blocks for muscle repair.

L-Theanine: What Is It?

L-Theanine is an amino acid found in green and black tea leaves that has unique properties that influence brain function and mind relaxation. Its structure allows it to cross the blood-brain barrier, making it an effective compound for supporting mental and emotional wellbeing.  L-Theanine is used as a supplement for its ability to support mind calmness, focus, mental clarity, and to support mind relaxation.

Relax, Calm & Focus

Relax, calm, and focus represents a balanced state where the mind feels at ease, yet alert and engaged. It is the blend of mind relaxation without feeling lethargic and concentration without strain. Compounds such as L-Theanine play a vital role in supporting this balance by subtly supporting brain activity associated with relaxation while simultaneously supporting focus and mental clarity.

 

What is in L-Theanine?

L-Theanine is thought to regulate the ‘stimulating’ glutamate, which is a neurotransmitter essential for learning and memory, enabling it to influence brain activity. Composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, its unique molecular configuration supports calmness and enhanced focus. 

What Food Contains L-Theanine?

L-Theanine is a naturally occurring amino acid commonly present in specific foods and beverages, particularly green tea and black tea. Matcha, a finely powdered form of green tea, contains especially high levels of L-Theanine due to its distinct cultivation methods.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the difference between Magnesium Citrate and Magnesium Glycinate for muscles?

    Magnesium citrate is highly absorbable and useful for general muscle support, while magnesium glycinate is bound to glycine, which may promote calm and relaxation, making it ideal for nighttime muscle tension or recovery.

  • How does HMB support recovery differently than Protein powder?

    Protein provides the amino acids, the ‘building blocks’, for muscles. HMB acts more like a guide, helping the body maintain existing muscle structure and support repair. It works alongside protein to support overall muscle maintenance during intense training or physical stress.
  • Why are electrolytes necessary even if I’m not "sweating" heavily?

    Electrolytes like potassium and magnesium are essential for every muscle contraction, including the heart and skeletal muscles. Even without visible sweating, low electrolyte levels can affect muscle function, leading to fatigue, heaviness, or tension.
