RecoveryWAVE Lemon Grape
Brand: Vital Proteins Performance
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
RecoveryWAVE works at the cellular level by supplying essential building blocks for tissue repair. The 20g of Collagen provides amino acids like glycine and proline, crucial for synthesizing connective tissue proteins, thereby reinforcing joint and tendon integrity. Simultaneously, the 8g of Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) and 5g of BCAAs stimulate muscle protein synthesis (MPS) via the mTOR pathway, repairing micro-tears in muscle fibers. Vitamin C acts as a potent antioxidant, neutralizing oxidative stress caused by intense exercise, while B-Complex Vitamins (B2, B6) facilitate the conversion of carbohydrates and fats into usable energy (ATP) within the mitochondria. Electrolytes like Magnesium and Potassium restore ion balance, preventing cramping and ensuring optimal nerve transmission.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Accelerated muscle tissue repair and growth
- Enhanced joint flexibility and cartilage support
- Rapid rehydration via coconut water and electrolytes
- Reduced oxidative stress and cellular fatigue
- Improved energy metabolism during training
Usage & Safety
Mix one 38g scoop with 8-12 oz of cold water. Best consumed immediately post-workout to leverage the anabolic window for muscle repair. Can also be taken between meals to support connective tissue health. Consult a physician if pregnant, nursing, or taking medication. Contains coconut; safe for those avoiding dairy but check facility cross-contamination warnings if severely allergic to tree nuts.
