It's well known that sports nutrition can significantly aid athletic performance in terms of power, strength and stamina.
Over time, our understanding of sports nutrition has evolved. Water alone was once thought adequate for hydration; we now know that proper sports hydration requires the addition of electrolytes to prevent vital salts from leaching.
Then came the creation of isotonic, carbohydrate with electrolyte, drinks prescribed for before, during and after sport. We now know that isotonic drinks alone are inadequate for proper recovery after sport.
The presence of amino acids (protein) was discovered to play a key role in helping the body to repair and regerate muscle after exercise. An Omnibus survey commissioned by For Goodness Shakes! revealed that the vast majority of sportsmen in the UK still continue to consume just water and isotonic sports drinks as their preferred recovery drink.
In a recent clinical trial it was found that drinking For Goodness Shakes after a workout enabled athelets to do 40% more in the next session compared to just water or isotonic sports drink.
