Speeds recovery from aerobic exercise by enhancing glycogen replenishment and initiating repair of damaged muscles.

Who needs Rebuild Endurance?

Cross-country runner after a training run.
Cyclist after an uphill training ride.
Football player after practice or a game.
Triathlete after a long training session.

Rich in protein, from milk protein concentrate and whey protein isolate.
Designed to help speed recovery with a unique carbohydrate protein blend to support muscle glycogen replenishment and rebuild muscle during the critical post exercise period.
L-Glutamine to support the immune system, which becomes stressed by exercise.
Includes the amino acid L-Carnitine to aid muscle metabolism and recovery after exercise.

What type of protein does Rebuild Endurance contain?

Rebuild Endurance contains only dairy-based protein as a combination of purified milk protein, enriched with purified whey and casein protein fractions.

Why does a recovery drink have more carbohydrate than protein?

Recovery from aerobic efforts is two-fold. It requires both restoring muscle glycogen levels and rebuilding damaged muscle. Research continually concludes that carbohydrate consumption after aerobic exercise is critical for replenishing glycogen stores. This process normally takes 24 hours, and is greatly aided by consuming a carbohydrate-rich recovery supplement within two hours after exercise. Rebuild Endurance also contains 10 g of protein which is used to help replenish and rebuild muscle.

What is L-carnitine and why does Rebuild Endurance contain it?

Carnitine is a molecule derived from amino acids and is found naturally occurring in many foods. It’s essential in the transport of fatty acids into the mitochondria, and is often referred to as a “fat-burning molecule.” So it has been scrutinized extensively by the scientific community. From this research, a new role has been established showing that L-carnitine favorably affects recovery from exercise stress.

What are branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs)?

There are three BCAAs: L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine, and they are termed “branched” because of their unique chemical structure. The branched aspect makes them impossible for humans to synthesize, and therefore are considered to be essential amino acids. These amino acids in particular are especially potent for inducing muscle growth.

What are the benefits of L-glutamine?

L-Glutamine is the biologically active form of an amino acid that is important for supporting lean muscle mass. In fact, it is one of the most depleted amino acids following intense exercise. L-Glutamine has also been shown to support a healthy immune system.

Is it OK to take iron supplements while using Rebuild Endurance?

Endurance athletes are at the mercy of their oxygen transport system for performance. Iron is an essential element for red blood cell production. However, iron toxicity can result from exceeding recommended daily values.

Can I use a milk substitute (for example, soy or almond milk) with this powder mix?

Yes. We designed the formulas to readily mix in water so you have access to a great tasting and nutritious recovery supplement anywhere, anytime. Mixing in alternative milks provides additional nutrients and protein that can be useful as well.

Mix 4 level scoops (50 g) with 250 ml of water. Shake vigorously. Consume within 30 minutes following aerobic activity.
