Recovery isn’t what happens after training—it’s what your body does during training, if you give it the right substrate. This collection is specifically for the woman who trains seriously and wants to optimise what happens at the cellular level before, during, and after your sessions.
Women’s training recovery has different demands than men’s, and standard sports nutrition rarely accounts for that. These products are chosen for what your body actually needs during the stress of training.
What’s in this collection
Magnesium Citrate — More bioavailable than standard magnesium for fast absorption. Your muscles contract because of calcium, and relax because of magnesium. Dosing it around your workouts helps your nervous system switch off and muscles genuinely relax for repair.
L-Glutamine — The most abundant amino acid in your muscles, and one that gets heavily depleted during training. Supplementing around workouts supports muscle protein synthesis, gut integrity, and reduces recovery time between sessions.
Montmorency Cherry — Actual tart cherry, not hype. The anthocyanins reduce inflammation markers and improve sleep quality post-workout. The evidence for reducing delayed-onset muscle soreness is solid.
NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) — Supports your body’s glutathione production (your primary cellular antioxidant). During intense training, oxidative stress increases. NAC helps your body manage that stress efficiently.
Omega-3 — Anti-inflammatory support at the cellular level. Fish oil supports joint health, cardiovascular function, and modulates the inflammatory response to training. For women, it also supports hormonal balance during training phases.
Krill Oil — A more sustainable alternative to traditional fish oil, with superior bioavailability and astaxanthin. If you’re doing high-volume training, krill oil supports the anti-inflammatory recovery response more efficiently.
What you do in the hour around your training shapes what your body can actually build. Make it count.
