Muscle recovery starts with rest, nutrition and hydration. Supplements can complement these foundations with protein, amino acids, carbohydrates, electrolytes or minerals. This category includes especially liquid magnesium, magnesium shots and post-workout formulas.
Liquid magnesium and magnesium shots
Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Compare the amount of magnesium per serving and any associated ingredients such as vitamin B6 or vitamin C.
After training
Needs depend on training duration and intensity. If sweat loss has been substantial, also review electrolytes & hydration.
