Muscle soreness, fatigue, and inflammation following intense physical exercise.
A potent anti-inflammatory recovery drink used by professional athletes.
How to Use
Drink 8-12oz of tart cherry juice (or 1oz concentrate diluted) twice daily — once in the morning and once post-workout. Start 3-5 days before intense events.
Why It Works
Tart cherries contain anthocyanins and phenolic compounds that reduce inflammation markers (IL-6, CRP) and oxidative stress. Studies show 13% faster strength recovery and significantly reduced muscle soreness.
A highly bioavailable form of magnesium for muscle relaxation and recovery.
How to Use
Take 200-400mg of magnesium glycinate in the evening after training. Can also add Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) baths: 2 cups in warm water for 20 minutes.
Why It Works
Magnesium is essential for muscle relaxation, protein synthesis, and energy production. Exercise depletes magnesium through sweat. Glycinate form is gentle on the stomach and promotes sleep.
