Optimum Nutrition, the formulators of best selling nutrition supplements; Amino energy, Casein, Gold Standard Whey Protein and Serious Mass plus 2:1:1 Recovery to support muscle recovery from exercise. Optimum Nutrition ensures quality and selection on work out supplements to keep you fit and healthy.
ON's 2:1:1 Recovery blends complementary ratios of carbohydrates with quality proteins to optimize both aspects of exercise recovery. Carbs help restore the muscle glycogen burned for energy during intense exercise while the amino acids from protein help support recovery from the breakdown of training. We added 5 grams of BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine to Isoleucine and Valine to make this formula an even more indispensable part of serious training programs.

Whey Protein
Whey is a liquid by-product of cheese production from cow's milk. The protein fraction in whey is approximately 10%, which is then concentrated to a powder that can be used as a dietary protein supplement. Whey is a complete protein that contains all 9 essential amino acids. It is also a great source of branched chain amino acids (BCAA's), and cysteine.
Benefits of Whey Protein
Whey protein has all of the general health benefits of protein supplementation, such as: muscle building, bone health, weight loss, and improved physical function. In addition to this, it is an abundant source of BCAA's and cysteine.
BCAA's can act as an alternate energy source for tired muscle cells during a hard workout, and help to prevent delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) later.
The cysteine in whey can also help to raise the amount of glutathione available in the body. Glutathione is a strong antioxidant that can help aid in detoxification and can also help to stimulate the immune system in those with reduced immune status.
BCAAs
What are BCAA's?
Branched-chain amino acids (or BCAA's) are a group of three essential amino acids: valine, leucine, and isoleucine. Essential amino acids are those that our bodies cannot produce from other materials, and so we must ingest them regularly. BCAA's are naturally found in high-protein foods such as lean meats, egg whites, and dairy products.
It builds up your muscles and prevents after-workout stiffness the next day!
BCAA's along with other amino acids are the building blocks of our muscles, so increasing intake can help provide the body with the tools it needs to build more muscle as we exercise.
Initial research on BCAA's established their benefit in people with chronic liver disease. Recent research has suggested that ingesting BCAA's, with leucine in particular, actually triggers the body's internal signaling mechanisms to promote muscle growth and prevent its loss!
In addition to stimulating growth, BCAA's can be used by muscle cells as an indirect energy source during strenuous exercise without forming pain-causing lactate. Normally, when we perform strenuous exercise while burning other fuel sources such as fat or carbohydrate, a byproduct called lactate is produced. Lactate is the chemical responsible for your painful and stiff muscles the morning after a hard workout. Taking in BCAA's before working out helps to prevent the build up of lactate and thus reduce or even eliminate the "morning after" problem. Most studies have also found a reduction in perceived workload after taking BCAA's. This may help you get the extra reps out of your workout that you've been aiming for!
