Supplementing with creatine has shown time and time again to significantly improve strength, power output and muscle size. The amount of pink Himalayan sea salt per serving in this product yields 1000 mg of sodium, which will be more than enough to support optimal re-hydration after almost any activity.ĭisclaimer: We've masked the salty taste as much as possible, and it tastes great considering the high sodium content, but there is a salty taste that comes with this product.Ĭreatine: Creatine is the best studied and most effective performance enhancing supplement. Sodium: Sodium is one of the most critical and overlooked components of a diet designed to optimize exercise performance. 1 cup of pulp-free orange juice can be added to this shake to add a proportional amount of fructose to support maximized glycogen replenishment. However, as we already have the low osmolality/high molecular weight carb source via the HBCD, we can get away with using a much lower amount of dextrose in this product, with far less potential for GI distress. A 2:1 ratio of dextrose:fructose is common for this purpose. Research suggests that speed and overall quantity of uptake can be maximized using dextrose and fructose, and that combination has been used by many athletes with great success. HBCD is processed very quickly with no GI distress, and gets to the muscle to start the recovery process. The slower the gastric emptying time and the more GI distress a carb source causes, the longer it will take for glycogen replenishment. In the past, carb powders designed to refill glycogen stores as quickly as possible essentially all fell short of their intended goal and caused significant amounts of bloating and gastrointestinal upset.

Gorilla Mode Post-Workout is a mix of fast digesting carbs with very quick gastric emptying times, sodium, creatine and leucine.Ĭarbs: The Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin (HBCD) is a very expensive carb source that has gained notoriety in the past decade not only for how well it works, but also for how well-tolerated it is. Your body mainly loses water, sodium and glycogen during a hard session, so that is what we would ideally replace as quickly as possible, followed by a low-fat meal with lean proteins shortly after. After a hard training session the goal should be to replace what was lost during that session.
