Along with the ever-increasing recreational sports and fitness activities, a proper way of recovery is getting more and more attention and the active athlete realizes the benefits of this. In recent years, more people than ever have started to play sports and exercise, millions of athletes have started to perform their favorite activities in competition or just as a hobby. However, many of these active people are still insufficiently aware of the importance of recovery during sports; called “Recovery” principle.
In order to benefit from (intensive) training, the body needs time to recover. This not only benefits subsequent training, it also reduces the chance of injuries. In most cases, an athlete has one goal: to become fitter and stronger so that the body becomes more resistant and the performance level increases.
“It is during recovery periods that the body builds up more resistance.”
During (intensive) training, the body is subjected to a form of stress.
• The body will adapt to this stress during the effort. However, the body needs to get enough rest to process this adaptation so that it can handle the load level (better) during the next training.
• In someone who does a lot of short sprints in e.g. ball sports (soccer, basketball, tennis, etc.) minuscule hairline cracks will occur in the muscle tissue. The body will not only repair this “damage”, it will also add extra tissue so that it can better withstand the stress generated the next time.
• If no rest at all or too short a period of rest is applied to repair this muscle damage and to allow the body to adapt to the intensity, it will NOT be able to keep up with the damage repair and an injury will eventually occur, often in the form of strains or muscle tears.
The natural ingredients in our FAST RECOVERY MUSCLE GEL are fully focused on repairing minor damage to muscle tissue caused by (heavy) exertion.
The ingredients listed below have been incorporated into our gel in such proportions that they work optimally “together” during the recovery process, and the effectiveness of each ingredient has been scientifically proven.
The FAST RECOVERY MUSCLE GEL consists mainly of natural ingredients, each with their own specific characteristics.
The combination of these ingredients results in a very effective product that provides a long-lasting and restorative effect.
ARTHRUBY
Provides rapid healing of muscle injuries (hairline cracks), bruises and offers protection against cramps. Also stimulates blood circulation to counteract inflammation. Scientific research (4) has shown that Arnica makes a significant contribution to the prevention and healing of inflammation, and also has pain-relieving properties.
ROSEMARY
Revitalizes and stimulates blood circulation, has bactericidal properties that clear the blood vessels of toxins and free radicals.
Rosemary extract helps to relieve muscle fatigue (1) and is suitable for the treatment of inflammation, among other things, and is one of the most powerful natural painkillers for muscles and joints (2).
HORSE CHESTNUT
Increases blood flow in veins, improves circulation of oxygen and nutrients, and has powerful anti-inflammatory properties.
Horse chestnut contains a compound called aescin, which has been shown to have an anti-inflammatory effect and has been proven to be effective for blood circulation (3).
COMPOUND:
The FAST RECOVERY MUSCLE GEL consists of 80% natural ingredients and water, contains a minimal amount of additional additives and a very small amount of preservatives to ensure that our gels continue to maintain their effectiveness for up to 12 months after opening.
